Abstract
Heavy metals are harmful to human health. Therefore, we investigated the biosorption of heavy metals by lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Of all the tested heavy metals, biosorption by LAB was highest for mercury, followed by lead, cadmium, and finally arsenic. The viability of HCT-116 cells was reduced by half in the presence of 7.5 µg/mL mercury but recovered after the addition of selected LAB strains. HCT-116 cells showed increased superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, whereas glutathione peroxidase activities decreased significantly. Addition of Lactobacillus sakei TOKAI 57m recovered all antioxidant enzyme activities. Our results suggest that this strain can be used for cellular detoxification.
期刊介绍：
Bioscience of Microbiota, Food and Health (BMFH) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal with a specific area of focus: intestinal microbiota of human and animals, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and food immunology and food function. BMFH contains Full papers, Notes, Reviews and Letters to the editor in all areas dealing with intestinal microbiota, LAB and food immunology and food function. BMFH takes a multidisciplinary approach and focuses on a broad spectrum of issues.
