J Bacteriol. 2011 Feb;193(3):787-8. doi: 10.1128/JB.01213-10. Epub 2010 Nov 19.

Abstract

Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum BBMN68 was isolated from the feces of a healthy centenarian living in an area of BaMa, Guangxi, China, known for longevity. Here we report the main genome features of B. longum strain BBMN68 and the identification of several predicted proteins associated with the ecological niche of longevity.
