Italian term or phrase: Fermenti in pool
For the web site of a natural health products company I have to translate the following:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

English translation:bacterial (probiotic) culture
Explanation:
"fermenti " refer to bacteria in a culture (growth favouring) medium, which are then "pooled" (mixed with other bateria?). The probiotic bit refers to the type of bacteria, i.e. ones which are normally present in a healthy (human) organism, such as lactobacilli o bifidobacterium. The exact answer wil depend upon the complete context.
