Pediococcus pentosaceus, a promising strain of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), is gradually attracting attention, leading to a rapid increase in experimental research. Due to increased demand for practical applications of microbes, the functional and harmless P. pentosaceus might be a worthwhile LAB strain for both the food industry and biological applications.
As an additive, P. pentosaceus improves the taste and nutrition of food, as well as the storage of animal products. Moreover, the antimicrobial abilities of Pediococcus strains are being highlighted. Evidence suggests that bacteriocins or bacteriocin-like substances (BLISs) produced by P. pentosaceus play effective antibacterial roles in the microbial ecosystem. In addition, various strains of P. pentosaceus have been highlighted for probiotic use due to their anti-inflammation, anticancer, antioxidant, detoxification, and lipid-lowering abilities.
Therefore, it is necessary to continue studying P. pentosaceus for further use. Thorough study of several P. pentosaceus strains should clarify the benefits and drawbacks in the future.
戊糖片球菌是一种有前景的乳酸菌(LAB)菌株,正逐渐受到关注,导致实验研究迅速增加。由于对微生物实际应用的需求增加,功能无害的戊糖片球菌可能是食品工业和生物应用中一种有价值的 LAB 菌株。
作为添加剂,戊糖片球菌可以改善食品的口感和营养价值,以及动物产品的储存。此外,戊糖片球菌的抗菌能力也逐渐受到关注。有证据表明,戊糖片球菌产生的细菌素或细菌素样物质(BLIS)在微生物生态系统中具有有效的抗菌作用。此外,由于其抗炎、抗癌、抗氧化、解毒和降血脂的能力,各种戊糖片球菌菌株已被强调可用于益生菌。
因此,有必要继续研究戊糖片球菌以进一步利用。对几种戊糖片球菌菌株的深入研究将有助于未来阐明其优缺点。
