TLDR
This review emphasizes that the Lb.Abstract:
Lactobacillus plantarum (widespread member of the genus Lactobacillus) is one of the most studied species extensively used in food industry as probiotic microorganism and/or microbial starter. The exploitation of Lb. plantarum strains with their long history in food fermentation forms an emerging field and design of added-value foods. Lb. plantarum strains were also used to produce new functional (traditional/novel) foods and beverages with improved nutritional and technological features. Lb. plantarum strains were identified from many traditional foods and characterized for their systematics and molecular taxonomy, enzyme systems (α-amylase, esterase, lipase, α-glucosidase, β-glucosidase, enolase, phosphoketolase, lactase dehydrogenase, etc.), and bioactive compounds (bacteriocin, dipeptides, and other preservative compounds). This review emphasizes that the Lb. plantarum strains with their probiotic properties can have great effects against harmful microflora (foodborne pathogens) to increase safety and shelf-life of fermented foods.read more

TL;DR: There is concern that the presence of antibiotic residues in milk leads to the development of resistance, particularly among pathogenic bacteria, and the approaches, both culture-dependent and culture-independent, which can be taken to investigate the microbial composition of milk are compared.

Taxonomy of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria
TL;DR: The impact of the availability of whole-genome sequences in taxonomy is briefly explained: they have already begun to give insights on bacterial evolution, which will surely have implications on taxonomy, even if the analysis of data for lactic acid bacteria is still limited to few species.
