Bifidobacterium bifidum

Bifidobacterium bifidum is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium of the genus Bifidobacterium, a group of lactic-acid-producing bacteria that occur naturally in the human gastrointestinal tract, supplied by Nustras as a freeze-dried culture powder for the probiotic ingredient market. The culture is produced by controlled fermentation, concentrated and freeze-dried with a protective carrier.

It is formulated into probiotic supplements in capsule, sachet, stick-pack and tablet form, into multi-strain probiotic blends and premixes, and, where processing conditions allow, into functional foods, dairy products and infant and medical nutrition formulations.

The material is a white to cream or light beige free-flowing powder. Viable count, water activity, particle size and carrier composition are standardised to specification; identity is confirmed to species level by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, viable count by plate count on selective media, and heavy-metal, contaminating-microorganism and absence-of-pathogen limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis. Refrigerated storage is recommended.

Nustras supplies Bifidobacterium bifidum in bulk commercial quantities, in sealed foil bags inside fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Bifidobacterium bifidum is an accepted probiotic species in major supplement markets; buyers confirm the strain designation, viable count at end of shelf life and permitted claim for their application.
