| Summary: | Bile salt hydrolase is an enzyme from bacteria that can hydrolyze bile acid to be
insoluble form and this event lead to reducing of cholesterol level in serum. A new strain of
lactic acid bacteria, which was isolated from fermented spider plant in local market of Thailand,
showed ability to produce bile salt hydrolase and has potential to be probiotic bacteria with
good colonizing properties. The new strain was identified as Lactobacillus plantarum and
gene that responsible for bile salt hydrolase production is located on plasmid. From the study
could be suggested that novel strain of LAB possible to be further used as cholesterol lowering
probiotic bacteria and fermented spider plant would be cheap price cholesterol lowering foods
for people in local area. |
