Lactobacillus plantarum is a widespread member of the Lactobacillus genus and frequently isolated from spoiled food products, but it is exploited for its probiotic traits (5) and fermentative capacity
Three L. plantarum strains isolated from different food sources (6) were cultured for 18 h at 30°C in De Man-Rogosa-Sharpe broth (Merck)
Summary
Lactobacillus plantarum is a widespread member of the Lactobacillus genus and frequently isolated from spoiled acidified food products. Lactobacilli are Gram-positive, generally nonmotile, bacteria that can be found in a diverse range of habitats (1). They are widely used in the food industry for preservation of dairy, meat, and vegetable products by producing lactic acid as the main fermentation product.
