Integrating Genomics and Metabolomics to Identify Lactic Acid Bacteria With Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Activity and Validation in a Bread System.
Foodborne diseases and microbial spoilage remain major threats to food safety and shelf life. This study systematically evaluated Lactiplantibacillus plantarum C-35 for antimicrobial activity, mechanisms, genomic safety, metabolite profile, and application in bread. Among 27 lactic acid bacterial strains, L. plantarum...
