Genomic and Transcriptomic Dissection of Growth Characteristics and Exopolysaccharide-Related Bioactivities in <i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</i> NMGL2.

ABSTRACT: Analyzing the biochemical and physiological activities of food microbes using molecular and bioinformatics tools is important, offering profound insights into their safety, functional, and applicational roles in food. In this study, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NMGL2, a well-documented beneficial lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strain, was investigated for its genomic, metabolic, and transcriptomic characteristics. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that this strain possesses a chromosome and two plasmids, with 3320 annotated genes, showcasing pathways involved in carbohydrate metabolism, stress adaptation, and bioactive compound synthesis. Growth studies under various nutritional conditions, including fructose, lactose, exogenous exopolysaccharide (EPS), and soy peptone, demonstrated tha
