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.
