Abstract
Provided is a novel Bifidobacterium strain capable of utilizing xylans. Bacteria belonging to the genus Bifidobacterium having a xylanase gene on a genome.
Claims5
A method of improving digestion of indigestible polysaccharides comprising xylans in a subject, the method comprising:
- providing an ingestible composition to a subject to thereby improve digestion of indigestible polysaccharides comprising xylans,
- wherein the ingestible composition metabolizes indigestible polysaccharides comprising xylans,
- wherein the ingestible composition comprises viable Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum bacteria having a genomic xylanase gene, and
- wherein the nucleotide sequence of the genomic xylanase gene comprises the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
