The goal of this study was to determine the unique characteristics of Enterococcus faecium MC-5, a probiotic bacteria isolated from the intestine of a fish, Cyprinus carpio specularis, collected from Dal Lake in Srinagar, Kashmir, India. For this, the important valuable probiotic attributes, some functional properties, and safety assessments were analyzed in-vitro for the strain MC-5. The strain E. faecium MC-5 exhibited high resistance to low pH, high bile salt, lysozyme, and phenol. The strain MC-5 showed excellent auto-and co-aggregation properties and displayed remarkable hydrophobicity towards various tested hydrocarbons which suggested that the strain possesses venerable adhesion properties. Apart from these, the cell-free supernatant (CFS) of strain MC-5 exhibited phenomenal antimicrobial activity against the tested pathogens. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image revealed strain MC-5 finely adhered to human colon adenocarcinoma cells (HCT-15 cells). The strain MC-5 showed high bile salt hydrolase activity and excellent cholesterol removal ability of...
