<i>Bacteroides</i> sp. Strain D8, the First Cholesterol-Reducing Bacterium Isolated from Human Feces

7 Jul 2007

Abstract excerpt

The microbial community in the human colon contains bacteria that reduce cholesterol to coprostanol, but the species responsible for this conversion are still unknown. We describe here the first isolation and characterization of a cholesterol-reducing bacterium of human intestinal origin. Strain D8 was isolated from a 10(-8) dilution of a fresh stool sample provided by a senior male volunteer with a high capacity...
