Isolation and identification of cholesterol-lowering lactic acid bacteria from sausage
A total of 35 strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from sausage by sulphur-phosphorus-ferrum colorimetric methods. All strains could remove cholesterol in the range of 9.65% to 48.23%, among which 11 strains could remove 40% and the strain HC12 was the highest. Studies on morphological, physiological, biochemistry tests and 16S rDNA sequencing analysis indicated that strain HC12 was Lactobacillus casei.
