BIFIDOBACTERIUM HAVING THE ACTIVITY OF REDUCING AMOUNT OF INTESTINAL PUTREFACTIVE SUBSTANCE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the amount of intestinal putrefactive substance effectively by the efficient use of highly safe and useful microorganisms.SOLUTION: Attention is focused on bifidobacteria, which are generally believed to be predominant in a human living body (intestine), and the screening of bifidobacteria is carried out. As a result, a bifidobacterium strain can be selected which has a potent activity of reducing the amount of indole and is confirmed to have an activity of reducing the amount of indoxyl sulfate in serum.SELECTED DRAWING: None
