O2-inducible H2O2-forming NADPH oxidase is responsible for the hyper O2 sensitivity of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis
Abstract Bifidobacteria are beneficial anaerobes, and their O2 sensitivity levels differ among species as a function of unknown molecular mechanisms. Bifidobacterium longum subspecies infantis (B. infantis), a predominant colonizer of the gastrointestinal tract of infants, showed a hyper O2-sensitiv...
