ABSTRACT

In recent years, an increasing interest in the study of the bacteria with potential probiotic activity exists, especially in those genera that constitute the intestinal microbiota, as the members of the Bifidobacterium genus. Nevertheless, to guarantee a successful administration of probiotic bacteria, it is necessary to consider the nutritional and environmental requirements of these microorganisms, to exert their probiotic effect. In bifidobacteria, as in other genera of the intestinal microbiota, catabolism and capacity to generate antagonic products, depends on metabolic activity, as complex carbohydrates catabolism, phosphoketolase activity, and monosaccharide fermentative routes. This is a bibliographical review about the bifidobacteria catabolism of complex carbohydrates, and their fermentative routes in the gut.
