The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, and discloses a
bifidobacterium longum strain GZBAI 01 and application thereof in degradation of
benzoic acid and prevention or treatment of
colorectal cancer. The strain is separated from faeces of healthy people,
genomics identification is carried out, the
metabolic profile of the strain is measured through metabonomics, the strain can convert
benzoic acid with carcinogenic risk into
protocatechuic acid with
antitumor activity through unique metabolic capability, meanwhile, the function of regulatory T cells (Treg) in tumor drainage
lymph nodes can be inhibited, differentiation of CD8 + T cells is promoted, and the tumor drainage
lymph nodes can be inhibited. Therefore, the
colorectal cancer is prevented through double ways of eliminating cancerogen and generating therapeutic agents. A
colorectal cancer mouse model and a
subcutaneous tumor mouse model verify that the strain can significantly reduce the number and volume of tumors, and shows a
benzoic acid conversion effect superior to that of other strains
in vivo and
in vitro, and a new way is provided for prevention and treatment of colorectal
cancer.
