Bifidobacteria are members of the human gut microbiota, being numerically dominant in the
colon of infants, while also being prevalent in the large intestine of adults. In this study, we …

The milk glycobiome has a significant impact on the gut microbiota of infants, which plays a
pivotal role in health and development. Fucosylated human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) …

Bacterial symbionts of eukaryotes often give up generalist lifestyles to specialize to particular
hosts. The eusocial honey bees and bumble bees harbor two such specialized gut …

Background Bifidobacterial genome analysis has provided insights as to how these gut
