Strain having ability to lower blood ammonia levels and composition comprising same for neuronal protection

Abstract

Microorganisms for lowering blood ammonia level and composition for protecting neuronal cells containing the same, particularly relates to microbes or a symbiotic pair that has a neuroprotective function by lowering blood ammonia levels or reducing ammonia levels in the body and composition for protecting neuronal cells comprising the microbes. The microorganisms having a neuroprotective function by lowering the blood ammonia level can be selected from the group that include, but not limited to, asp. strain and asp. strain. The ammonia removal strains and the composition have a neuroprotective effect by their excellent ability to remove neurotoxic ammonia, and thus can be widely used as a preventive or therapeutic agent for hyperammonemia and neurological diseases caused thereby.
