Analysis of the Bifidobacterium breve Genome

Bifidobacterium breve is one of the most important bacteria that live in the human intestine: it helps to keep the digestive system running smoothly, blocks the growth of harmful bacteria, and boosts the immune system.

We are collaborating with the lab of Dr Douwe van Sinderen in University College Cork.
