Gut Bacteria’s role in cholesterol

A study published in the journal of the Society of Applied Microbiology found that Lactobacillus plantarum TAR4 reduced cholesterol levels by as much as 48%. Lactic acid bacteria strains were isolated and examined for "acid tolerance, bile salt resistance and hypocholesterolemic properties," according to the mice study (2).
Sarahs-world.blog, the Asian dish Tapai, which is fermented cassava or rice, contains a special Lactobacilli strain that has probiotic effects in rats and can break down cholesterol as well (3).
The article states bacterium under investigation uses a network of "scaffold proteins and enzymes on the outer cell wall, referred to as a cellulosome network, to attach to and degrade cellulose fibers. These cellulosome networks are held together by families of interacting proteins."
It demonstrates that probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum TAR4 supplements can reduce bile acids and reduce cholesterol levels.
