Recently, gut-dwelling bifidobacteria from chimpanzees, which are phylogenetically close to humans and have feeding habits similar to humans, have been frequently investigated. Given this, we speculated that like humans, chimpanzees would have a unique diversity of bifidobacteria. We herein describe a taxonomically novel member of bifidobacteria isolated from fecal samples of captive chimpanzees. Bifidobacteria were detected in all fecal samples by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. A -like species, which could not be detected using -specific primers targeting the gene sequence, was dominant in the feces of five chimpanzees. Seven bifidobacterial strains were isolated from this group of five chimpanzees, and all isolates were identified as . has previously often been isolated from non-primate animals as well as humans; however, here we demonstrate its presence in a nonhuman primate species.
最近，人们频繁地对来自黑猩猩的肠道双歧杆菌进行研究，黑猩猩在系统发育上与人类接近，且具有与人类相似的饮食习惯。鉴于此，我们推测，与人类一样，黑猩猩也会有独特的双歧杆菌多样性。我们在此描述了从圈养黑猩猩粪便样本中分离出的一种分类学上的新型双歧杆菌成员。通过定量聚合酶链反应在所有粪便样本中检测到了双歧杆菌。一种无法使用针对 基因序列的特异性引物检测到的类似A的物种，在五只黑猩猩的粪便中占主导地位。从这五只黑猩猩中分离出了七株双歧杆菌菌株，所有分离株均被鉴定为 。 此前经常从非灵长类动物以及人类中分离得到；然而，在这里我们证明了它在非人类灵长类物种中的存在。
