Investigation of the interaction of Bifidobacterium bifidum 1 and Escherichia coli M-17 in the bificol praparation during their simultaneous cultivation

Abstract

Using the model of biocompatibility the complicated mechanism of interaction between the B. bifidum 1 and E. coli М-17 was revealed during the simultaneous cultivation of these strains. Bifidobacteria and the products of their metabolism were shown to inhibit the growth of E. coli, at the same time the products of metabolism of E. coli stimulate the growth of Bifidobacteria.
