Summary

A comparative genome analysis of the genome sequences of nine strains representing four species of Bifidobacterium reveals a likely efficient capacity to adapt to their habitats, with B. infantis exhibiting more genomic potential to utilize human milk oligosaccharides, consistent with its habitat in the infant gut, and B. longum subsp.longum exhibits a higher genomic potential for utilization of plant-derived complex carbohydrates and polyols.
