The chromosomes of Bifidobacterium longum contain 60% Guanine cytosine bonds. This microbe has a genome length of 2.26Mb. Often found as a supplement in yogurts or other fermented foods, Bifidobacterium longum converts sugars into lactic acid via fermentation. This helps to lower the pH in the lower intestine.
Verb[edit] shear â(third-person singular simple present shears, present participle shearing, simple past sheared or shore, past participle shorn or sheared) To cut, originally with a sword or other bladed weapon, now usually with shears, or as if using shears.
The shearer is using a sling for back support. Sheep shearing is the process by which the woollen fleece of a sheep is cut off. The person who removes the sheep's wool is called a shearer. Typically each adult sheep is shorn once each year (a sheep may be said to have been shorn or sheared, depending upon dialect).
