Cholesteraze activity of new lacto- and bifidobacteria strains in vitro

Abstract

Cholesteraze activity of new strains of lacto- and bifidobacteria was studied. It was demonstrated that all strains of lаcto- and bifidobаcteriа in vitro posess different levels of cholesteraze activity. Lactobacillus casei VK-4 IMV B-7280 proved to be the most effective strain. Results of research on cholesteraze activity of different lacto- and bifidobacteria strain compositions showed that the most active combinations are those based on Lactobacillus casei and one of other studied strains of lacto- and bifidobacteria, as well as Bifidobacterium longum and Bifidobacterium bifidum. The studied bacterial strains and also compositions on their basis can be used to create complex probiotics for special purposes.
