Genomic and stress resistance characterization of <i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</i> GX17, a potential probiotic for animal feed applications.

ABSTRACT: Lactobacilli, recognized as beneficial bacteria within the human body, are celebrated for their multifaceted probiotic functions, including the regulation of intestinal flora, enhancement of body immunity, and promotion of nutrient absorption. This study comprehensively analyzed the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) strains isolated from the intestines of healthy chicks and assessed their potential as probiotics. The assembled genome consists of 29,521,986 bp, and a total of 1,771 coding sequences (CDSs) were predicted. Based on the entire genome sequence analysis, 50 stress resistance genes and seven virulence factors were identified. The results of the phenotypic experiments showed that the strain had good resistance to
