Abstract:
The cholesterol-lowering and immunomodulatory effects and probiotic properties of 25 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from fermented fish (pla-paeng-daeng) in Thailand were examined in the present study. Based on their phenotypic and genetic characteristics, LAB were identified as Lactiplantibacillus pentosus (Group I, 6 isolates), Lactiplantibacillus argentoratensis (Group II, 1 isolate), Limosilactobacillus fermentum (Group III, 2 isolates), Companilactobacillus pabuli (Group IV, 4 isolates), Companilactobacillus farciminis (Group V, 5 isolates), Companilactobacillus futsaii (Group VI, 6 isolates), and Enterococcus lactis (Group VII, 1 isolate). Lactiplantibacillus pentosus PD3-1 and PD9-2 and Enterococcus lactis PD3-2 exhibited bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activities. The percentage of cholesterol assimilated by all isolates ranged between 21.40 and 54.07%. Bile salt hydrolase-producing isolates tolerated acidic and bile conditions and possessed adhesion properties. They also exerted immunomodulatory effects that affected the production of interleukin-12 (IL-12), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), human β-defensin-2 (hBD-2), and nitric oxide (NO). These isolates meet standard probiotic requirements and exert beneficial effects.
