A simple method for continuous measurement of growth of bifidobacteria is described. An inoculated broth in a small tube was evacuated at 100mmHg through a two‐way stopcock and incubated at 37°C. Growth was periodically measured by inserting the tube into a spectrophotometer. Doubling times of three bifidobacterium strains in broth containing various inulofructosaccharide preparations were compared. Inulofructosacchandes from the Jerusalem artichoke tubers supported good growth of these bacteria.
