Bioprospecting Antimicrobials from <i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</i>: Key Factors Underlying Its Probiotic Action

<i>Lactiplantibacillus plantarum</i> (<i>L. plantarum</i>) is a well-studied and versatile species of lactobacilli. It is found in several niches, including human mucosal surfaces, and it is largely employed in the food industry and boasts a millenary tradition of safe use, s...
