Lactic acid bacteria are a type of important probiotic that may be found in a wide range of nutrient-rich habitats, including food, feed, soil, and organisms like animals as well as plants. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, many species of lactic acid bacteria and their metabolites are “generally regarded as safe (GRAS)”. The most commonly used strains as probiotics spread in genera Lactobacilli, Bifidobacterium, Lactococcus, Enterococcus, and Streptococcus. They have been shown to enhance intestinal transit, balance gut microbiota, and preserve the colon's acid-base equilibrium, which regulates the immune system and lowers serum cholesterol levels.
