“…Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum G4 is isolated from faeces of infant (Shuhaimi, Ali, Saleh, & Yazid, 2001). This bacterium has high tolerance of bile acids and the ability to deconjugate different types of bile acids (Mariam et al, 2004).…”

The effect of a yoghurt supplement containing Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum G4 or Bifidobacterium longum BB536 on plasma lipids, lipid peroxidation and the faecal excretion of bile acids was examined in rats fed a cholesterol-enriched diet. After 8 weeks, the rats in the positive control (PC) group who were fed the cholesterol-enriched diet showed significant increases in plasma total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and malondialdehyde (MDA). However, groups fed a cholesterol-enriched diet supplemented with yoghurt containing B. pseudocatenulatum G4 or B. longum BB536 had significantly lower plasma TC, LDL-C, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, and MDA than had the PC group after 8 weeks of treatment. In addition, faecal excretion of bile acids was markedly increased in the rats fed the yoghurt containing B. pseudocatenulatum G4 or B. longum BB536 as compared to the PC and NC groups.

“…play an important role in maintaining good health (Masco and others 2005; Lin and others 2006). One such organism, Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum G4, is commonly found in breast‐fed infants (Shuhaimi and others 2001). It has a high tolerance to bile acids and is able to break down conjugated bile acids (Mariam and others 2004; Kabeir and others 2008), increase their excretion and decrease plasma cholesterol levels (Al‐Sheraji and others 2012a).…”

This is the first study reported on produce synbiotic yoghurt as a functional food for specified health uses contains bifidobacteria and M. pajang fibrous polysaccharides. M. pajang fibrous polysaccharides can be used as a prebiotic particularly in dairy products to increase the viability and activity of bifidobacteria which can be used as probiotic to exert health benefit to the human by yoghurt that is considered common use in society; thus, the benefits of synbiotic yoghurt are readily accessible to the member of society.

Aims: To assess the safety of Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum G4 in BALB/c mice that involves examination of bacterial translocation, changes in the internal organs and histology of the intestinal lining. Methods and Results: Forty male BALB/c mice were randomly assigned into five groups (n = 8). Three groups were orally fed with 50 μl of three different concentrations of B. pseudocatenulatum G4 (2 × 104, 1 × 108 and 1 × 1011 CFU day−1) for 4 weeks. One group was orally administered with 50 μl of 1 × 108 CFU B. longum BB536 per day for 4 weeks and last group was used as a nonbifidobacterial treatment control, which received 50 μl of skim milk. The administered strains did not affect the general health of mice and incapable of carrying out translocation to blood or liver. There were no significant differences in the internal organ (liver, heart, kidney and spleen) indices, serum enzymes of liver (aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphate, alanine aminotransferase) and kidney (urea and creatinine) and histology (villi height, crypts height, mucosa thickness and epithelial cell height) of caecum, ileum and colon. Conclusion: Administration of high dose of up to 1 × 1011 CFU B. pseudocatenulatum G4 per day to mice did not show any health threatening symptoms. Significance and Impact of the Study: Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum G4 is none pathogenic to BALB/c mice and could be safe probiotic for human consumption.
