The isolated murine Bifidobacterium pseudolongum shows amylolytic activity.
(a) A modified GAM agar plate was stained by Lugol’s solution. Starch in agar was degraded around colonies. (b) Before staining. 4121; B. animalis subsp. lactis, type strain YIT 4121, 4102; B. pseudolongum subsp. pseudolongum, type strain YIT 4102, 4101; B. pseudolongum subsp. globosum, type strain YIT 4101, #1–9; Isolates identified as B. pseudolongum.
