Summary
Cultures ofStr. thermophilus assimilated less cholesterol than those ofLactobacillus delbrueckii subsp.bulgaricus. A significant difference was found between strains ofL. delbrueckii subsp.bulgaricus — LB1 and LB2 and LB3 (p<0.001).Bif. bifidum actively assimilated cholesterol, but no significant difference was observed between their two strains (p>0.05). Cultures ofL. asidophilus assimilated significantly more cholesterol than those ofStr. thermophilus and a commercial yoghurt culture.
