Production of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) is one of the mechanisms involved in many disorders. We selected several potential probiotics cultures and planned this project to screen the Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) based on Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production and cholesterol reduction in vitro.
