Production of Conjugated Linoleic and Conjugated α-Linolenic Acid in a Reconstituted Skim Milk-Based Medium by Bifidobacterial Strains Isolated from Human Breast Milk

Table 3

Growth of B. breve M7-70 in the presence of different concentrations of LA and LNA.

Concentration; (mg mL^−1)	LA	LNA
0	+++*	+++
0.25	++	+
0.50	++	+
1.0	+	−
1.5	+	−
2.0	−	−

∗(−) No growth; (+) slight growth; (++) moderate growth; (+++) optimal growth. All the bifidobacterial strains assayed showed the same level of inhibition.
