Kocho-derived Lactobacillus strains showed probiotic and safety-related traits
What the study found Some lactic acid bacteria isolated from Ethiopian kocho showed acid tolerance, bile resistance, pathogen inhibition, and genomic features consistent with probiotic potential. The identified strains were six Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains and one Levilactobacillus brevis strain. Why the authors say this matters The authors conclude that these findings support the suitability of…
