In vitro probiotic–associated, safety, and anti–listerial properties of indigenous dairy–derived lactobacilli: functional screening and virulence–related gene modulation

The search for autochthonous food–derived lactobacilli with complementary probiotic–associated and bioprotective characteristics is of considerable interest for functional food development and microbial control. In the present study, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from tradi...

Iranian farmers’ pro-environmental behaviors supporting human wetland coexistence

The application of pro-environmental behaviors in wetlands—particularly sensitive and valuable ecosystems such as Zaribar—is critically important, as these areas play a vital role in both biodiversity conservation and the livelihoods of local communities. When individuals and loc...

Metabolic, enzymatic, and probiotic profiling of Lactococcus lactis LBM15: inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm and virulence genes, and GPR-based prediction

This study characterized a Lactococcus lactis strain (LBM15) isolated from traditional yogurt and evaluated its probiotic, antimicrobial, and anti-biofilm attributes, along with its physiological robustness and safety-associated characteristics. The isolate was identified by 16S...
