Probiotic potential and safety properties of Limosilactobacillus fermentum A51 with high exopolysaccharide production.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by Lactic acid bacteria have many health benefits and unique physicochemical properties. They are widely used in the food industry to improve viscosity, mouthfeel, and textural properties of foods. In our previous studies, Limosilactobacillus fermentum A51 (L. fermentum A51) isolated from yak yogurt exhibited high EPS production capacity and was applied to improve the texture of yogurt. In this study, whole genome sequencing analysis and corresponding in vitro assays were performed to investigate the probiotic potential and safety properties of L. fermentum A51.

Results

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observed that L. fermentum strain A51 adhered into clusters and its colony exhibited the ob
