Abstract

Foods and drinks containing bifidobacteria are prepared by growing in a milk medium under aerobic conditions a mixture of bifidobacteria containing a mutant strain of oxygen-resistant Bifidobacterium and a strain of obligatory anaerobic Bifidobacterium. Presence of the oxygen-resistant strain enables growing the obligatory anaerobic strain under aerobic conditions in a pure milk medium without added growth promoting substances.
