- Abstract
Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis YLGB-1496 (YLGB-1496) is a probiotic strain isolated from human breast milk. The application of YLGB-1496 is influenced by carbohydrate utilization and genetic stability. This study used genome sequencing and morphology during continuous subculture to determine the carbohydrate utilization characteristics and genetic stability of YLGB-1496. The complete genome sequence of YLGB-1496 consists of 2,758,242 base pairs, 2442 coding sequences, and a GC content of 59.87%. A comparison of carbohydrate transport and metabolism genes of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis (B. infantis) showed that YLGB-1496 was rich in glycosyl hydrolase 13, 20, 25, and 109 gene families. During continuous subculture, the growth characteristics and fermentation activity of the strain were highly stable. The bacterial cell surface and edges of the 1000th-generation strains were progressively smoother and well-defined, with no perforations or breaks in the cell wall. There were 20 SNP loci at the 1000th generation, fulfilling the requirement of belonging to the same strain. The presence of genes associated with cell adhesion and the absence of resistance genes supported the probiotic characteristics of the strain. The data obtained in this study provide insights into broad-spectrum carbohydrate utilization, genomic stability, and probiotic properties of YLGB-1496, which provide theoretical support to promote the use of YLGB-1496.
