Three strains of probiotic bacteria were found in traditional Brazilian cheeses, with potential benefits for health and taste.
Cheese could be healthier in the future now that microbiologists in Brazil have discovered three novel strains of probiotic bacteria in samples of traditional cheeses.Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when eaten in food, may remain in the gut. People who have lots of—and lots of different types of—probiotic bacteria and yeasts in their gut are thought to have healthy microbiomes, i.e., microbial communities.
After testing, the bacteria were confirmed to be safe for human consumption and probiotic. Furthermore, the bacteria seemed to inhibit the growth of disease-promoting microorganisms—but Barreto said the team would have to investigate this further.
