Abstract
We have found a new growth stimulator for bifidobacteria in the culture broth of Propionibacterium freudenreichii ET-3. The bifidogenic growth stimulator (BGS) was purified by Diaion HP-20 column chromatography and preparative HPLC. Spectroscopic methods including 1H-NMR, UV, and LC-ESI-MS experiments indicated that the chemical structure of the bifidogenic growth stimulator was 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (DHNA). Approximately 10 mg/L of DHNA was found to be produced in the culture broth of P. freudenreichii ET-3.Entities:
