Abstract: Three Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming, microaerophilic and fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase positive strains were isolated from a faecal sample of an adult subject of the emperor tamarin (Saguinus imperator). Given that the isolates revealed identical BOX PCR profiles, strain TRI 5 was selected as a representative and characterized further. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity revealed that strain TRI 5 was closely related to Bifidobacterium saguini DSM 23967 (96.4 %) and to Bif… Show more

“…Bifidobacteria are gram-positive anaerobes that inhabit animal digestive tracts and dairy products, with 78 species and 10 subspecies taxonomically identified to date (a total of 84 taxa) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. More than ten (sub)species were isolated from human stools, and among them, six (sub)species are known to be frequent colonizers of infant guts (described later) [1,[12][13][14].…”

“…In recent years, several ecological surveys aimed at assessing bifidobacterial populations have been performed in various species of monkeys, uncovering an extensive unexplored ecosystem. In fact, these efforts allowed the identification of 28 novel bifidobacterial species, distributed among 11 different monkey species, especially in Saguinus oedipus and Callithrix jacchus , rendering the primate gut a very rich environmental repository of bifidobacterial biodiversity to date (Michelini et al ., 2016; Duranti et al ., 2017a; Modesto et al ., 2018a; Lugli et al ., 2018b; Modesto et al ., 2018b; Modesto et al ., 2018c; Duranti et al ., 2019; Modesto et al ., 2019). Recently, a metagenomic approach based on the amplification of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rRNA sequence allowed a detailed analysis of bifidobacterial gut populations in the mammalian branch of the tree of life, indicating the presence of as yet undiscovered bifidobacterial taxa (Milani et al ., 2017a).…”

“…At the time of writing, there is no study investigating the presence and the distribution of Bifidobacterium species in fruit bats. Several studies have suggested the importance of isolating and identifying novel strains of the genus Bifidobacterium from various animals, including humans, in order to understand how they are mostly distributed [17,19] and, especially, which are their phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, thus allowing the reconstruction of a more robust bifidobacterial phylogeny.…”
