title: Analysis of predicted carbohydrate transport systems encoded by Bifidobacterium bifidum PRL2010.
abstract: The Bifidobacterium bifidum PRL2010 genome encodes a relatively small set of predicted carbohydrate transporters. Growth experiments and transcriptome analyses of B. bifidum PRL2010 revealed that carbohydrate utilization in this microorganism appears to be restricted to a relatively low number of carbohydrates.
