Bifidobacterium longum is a Gram-positive, anaerobic probiotic bacterium widely utilized in industrial fermentation. Its core process involves controlled aerobic-anaerobic cultivation followed by spray drying or freeze-drying to ensure viability. This strain lacks a single molecular formula due to its cellular nature; CAS number 9012-76-4 applies to the general bacterial product.
Storage requires strict temperature control below -18°C for frozen cultures or 2-8°C for refrigerated powders to maintain shelf life. Clinical use is contraindicated in severely immunocompromised patients due to sepsis risks. Operators must wear PPE during handling to prevent cross-contamination.
