acid bacteria isolated from traditional cameroonian palm wine and corn beer exhibiting cholesterol lowering activity.

High serum cholesterol is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), leading to many fatalities. Traditional palm wine () and corn beer are noted as potential sources of probiotic bacteria with cholesterol lowering activity. In this study, we isolated and characterised lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with probiotic and cholesterol lowering properties from these sources.
