短促生乳杆菌基因组学研究进展

Research progress in genomics of Levilactobacillus brevis

摘要:

短促生乳杆菌(Levilactobacillus brevis)是常见乳酸菌物种，主要存在于植物茎叶表面、泡菜、乳制品以及肠道等生态位。L. brevis具有优良的生理功能，是潜在的益生菌物种。随着基因组学研究兴起，从基因水平揭示L. brevis的遗传学特征及功能基因特性对该菌的应用具有重要意义。本文主要围绕L. brevis的遗传背景及重要功能基因进行综述，以期为L. brevis的应用研究奠定理论基础。

Abstract:

Levilactobacillus brevis is a common species of lactic acid bacteria mainly detected on the surface of plant stems and leaves and in pickles, dairy products, and intestines. With excellent physiological functions, L. brevis is a potential probiotic species. With the rise of genomics, it is of great significance to reveal the genetic characteristics and functional gene properties of L. brevis at the gene level for application of this bacterium. This paper reviews the genetic background and major functional genes of L. brevis, aiming to lay a theoretical foundation for the application of L. brevis.
