Abstract

This study investigates the probiotic properties and cholesterol-lowering abilities of fermentation bacteria, by isolating and purifying four strains of lactic acid bacteria from traditional fermented mare’s milk.The morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of these strains were assessed, along with their growth curves, tolerance to bile salts and artificial gastric fluid, and susceptibility to antibiotics.Additionally, qualitative assays were conducted for bile salt hydrolase activity and cholesterol oxidase to evaluate their cholesterol scavenging potential.The strains were ultimately identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing.The findings reveal that the isolated strains exhibited strong tolerance to high concentrations of bile salts (3.0 g/L) and artificial gastric fluid (pH 2.0) while remaining sensitive to the majority of the eight antibiotics tested.Distinct white precipitation zones around the filter paper disks of each strain indicated the presence of bile salt hydrolase activity.The cholesterol scavenging rates for single and composite strains in the culture medium ranged from (76.46±1.26)% to (87.96±0.43)%, with the composite strain demonstrating superior capacity for cholesterol compared to individual strains.These strains had been identified as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum.This study suggests that the four isolated strains possess fundamental probiotic attributes and a high safety profile, along with notable cholesterol-lowering capabilities in vitro, which warrant further explored in vivo.
