Bioconversion of daidzein to equol by Bifidobacterium breve 15700 and Bifidobacterium longum BB536

Bifidobacteria species were incubated anaerobically with daidzein in Brain Heart Infusion broth at 37 °C for 96 h. Equol production started during the first 6 h incubation with Bifidobacterium breve ATCC 15700 (B. breve) and Bifidobacterium longum BB536 (B. longum). The pH decreased during incubatio...
