COMPOSITION CONTAINING DAIDZEIN METABOLITE PRODUCING BACTERIUM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING DAIDZEIN METABOLITE

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition containing a daidzein metabolite producing bacterium, which efficiently produces a daidzein metabolite such as equol, etc., having high physiological functions in a living body and a method for producing a daidzein metabolite. PSOLUTION: The composition containing a daidzein metabolite producing bacterium comprises an equol producing bacterium, and at least one equol non-producing bacterium selected from bacteria belonging to the genus Escherichia, Raoultella, Lactobacillus, Pantoe, Saccharomyces and Serratia. The method for producing a daidzein metabolite comprises culturing mixed bacteria containing an equol producing bacterium and at least one an equol non-producing bacterium selected from bacteria belonging to the genus Escherichia, Raoultella, Lactobacillus, Pantoe, Saccharomyces and Serratia in a medium containing a daidzein.
