TL;DR
The microbiota and distribution of LAB at various plant, terrestrial livestock and aquatic sources will be reviewed according to the phylum dominance and the genus of LAB detected across different host, and the relationship between the LAB detected from and the fermented food is reviewed.
Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) constitute a wide range of bacteria that produce lactic acid as one of their main products. They are particularly important in the acidification of products, which is crucial in various food fermentation processes. Therefore, understanding their sources and mechanisms is vital to ensure the success of food fermentation processes. LAB can be naturally found on various plant, animal skin surfaces, as well as animal gut intestine. The type of LAB present is distinct for each microbiota but a comprehensive overview that describes the source of raw food microbiota has remained missing. Hence, the microbiota and distribution of LAB at various plant, terrestrial livestock and aquatic sources will be reviewed according to the phylum dominance and the genus of LAB detected across different host. Finally, the relationship between the LAB detected from and the fermented food is also reviewed.
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been widely used in the production of fermented foods since the early stages of civilization, playing a key role in the development of sensory characteristics and in food preservation. In recent years, scientific interest in these microorganisms has increased due to their potential healt...

Abstract Over thousands of years, a wide variety of food fermentations in human diets have developed in different geographical regions, cultures, and traditions. The desirable conversions of food components that occur during fermentation rely on a diverse array of microorganisms, which interact with one another and wit...

The increasing interest in functional and sustainable alternatives to dairy products has driven the development of fermented plant-based foods. However, the diversity of plant matrices, microbial cultures, and fermentation strategies employed in these products requires a comprehensive evaluation of their technological...

Traditional fermented foods are important reservoirs of wild microorganisms with technological, sensory, protective, and functional potential. However, the performance of these isolates in controlled or compositionally different food matrices remains fragmented across microbial groups and food systems. This systematic...

Naturally fermented sour bamboo shoots represent a potential source of functionally active lactic acid bacteria (LAB). This study screened LAB from sour bamboo shoots and evaluated their potential to modulate patient-derived fecal microbiota in vitro. A total of 42 candidate isolates were obtained by morphological and...

Fermented food is an excellent natural source of probiotic bacteria. This study aimed to isolate and identify probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from Thai fermented foods. Their potential in extending lifespan was investigated in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) model. Eighteen types of Thai fermented food samples...
