Lactobacillus_F plantarum
Lactobacillus plantarum has been initially identified in traditional fermented foods and has become one of the most used organism in the food industry today, both as a starter culture and a probiotic. It contributes to the stability, aroma and texture of fermented foods. L. plantarum is thought to prevent some pathogens from attaching to the gut wall and it produces chemicals to fend off others.
