Disclosed are a novel Bifidobacterium longum RAPO (Accession No.: KCTC 13773BP) and a composition for alleviating, treating or preventing rheumatoid arthritis containing Bifidobacterium longum RAPO (Accession No.: KCTC 13773BP) selected herein.

The present invention relates to the novel lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus mucosae and Bifidobacterium longum, and specifically, to a composition comprising the novel lactic acid bacteria, the composition enabling the inhibition of the expression of the p16 protein, which is an aging factor, and the inhibition of inflammatory factors, thereby being useful in preventing and treating memory impairment, learning disabilities or mental disorders, and in preventing and treating inflammatory diseases.

The present invention relates to compositions comprising galactooligosaccharides (GOS) and probiotic bacteria obtained by a process comprising the step of growing the bacteria in a medium comprising GOS, such composition having the effect of boosting the synbiotic effect of the probiotic bacteria with the GOS. Health benefits of the probiotic bacteria as obtained by such a fermentation process are also contemplated.

An object of the present invention is to provide an agent for decomposing an opioid peptide or composition for decomposing an opioid peptide that does not restrict dietary habits, does not provide side reactions, even if it is daily used, and thus can be continuously used without any worries. The object is achieved by an agent for decomposing an opioid peptide or composition for decomposing an opioid peptide, pharmaceutical composition for decomposing an opioid peptide, or food or drink composition for decomposing an opioid peptide containing a Bifidobacterium bacterium, a culture of the bacterium, and/or a processed cell product of the bacterium as an active ingredient.

Novel Bifidobacterium bacteria having an opioid peptide decomposition action and a noncollagenous glycoprotein decomposition action are provided. The present invention relates to one or more kinds of Bifidobacterium bacteria selected from the group consisting of Bifidobacterium bifidum MCC1092 (NITE BP-02429), Bifidobacterium bifidum MCC1319 (NITE BP-02431), Bifidobacterium bifidum MCC1868 (NITE BP-02432), Bifidobacterium bifidum MCC1870 (NITE BP-02433), and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum MCC1110 (NITE BP-02430), as well as a composition for decomposing an opioid peptide and composition for decomposing a noncollagenous glycoprotein containing the Bifidobacterium bacteria as an active ingredient.

Provided is a composition that may be used for a specific use application, such as a composition for enhancing a breast milk component. A composition containing a bacterium of the genus Bifidobacterium as an active ingredient is described.

Provided is a composition that may be used for a specific use application, such as a composition for enhancing a breast milk component. A composition containing a bacterium of the genus Bifidobacterium as an active ingredient is described.

Provide are beneficial bacteria that can be beneficially applied across a wide range of age groups and a composition containing the same. Bifidobacterium longum subspecies longum NITE BP-02568 and/or Bifidobacterium longum subspecies longum NITE BP-02569; and Bifidobacterium longum subspecies longum, having utilization ability for 2′-fucosyllactose are also provided. More preferably, bacteria having utilization ability for carbohydrates arabinoxylan, arabinan, and pectic galactan; and a composition containing the bacteria are also provided. More preferably, a composition containing 2′-fucosyllactose are also provided. More preferably, a composition containing at least one carbohydrate selected from the group consisting of arabinoxylan, arabinan, pectic galactan, and oligosaccharides derived therefrom or containing at least a carbohydrate derived from a gramineous plant or a carbohydrate derived from a solanaceous plant are also provided.

The present invention provides a lactobacillus strain-containing pharmaceutical composition and food composition for improving of kidney disease and inhibiting inflammation, which comprises an isolated lactic acid bacteria strain. The isolated lactic acid bacteria strain is at least one selected from a group including BLI-02 strain, CGMCC No. 15212, Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis, TYCA06 strain, CGMCC No. 15210, Lactobacillus acidophilus, VDD088 strain, CGMCC No. 15211, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and combinations thereof.

The present invention provides a composition for promoting glucolipid metabolism, and a preparation and an application thereof, and relates to the technical field of probiotics. The composition of the present invention includes probiotics and inulin; the probiotics include Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus cripatus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus fermentum, and Lactobacillus casei. In the composition of the present invention, the nine strains synergize with each other, which function as a regulator of glucolipid metabolism, improve sensitivity to insulin receptor in the body, and relieve insulin resistance when reconstituted with inulin. The composition has some effects on improving serum total cholesterol and triglyceride, islet -cell function, and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
