2Potential claims from the literature
Reported to use extracellular electron transfer (EET) to increase growth and food acidification during fermentation of plant tissues and bovine milk, and to decrease environmental oxidation-reduction potential
Reported to exhibit inhibitory activity against Listeria monocytogenes, associated with the production of nisin (a GRAS-approved food-grade preservative), with potential for in situ nisin production to control L. monocytogenes in fermented and non-fermented foods
Reported to achieve a 4-log reduction of Listeria monocytogenes cell numbers on stainless steel under mixed-biofilm conditions
Reported to suppress bacterial leaf blight (BLB) symptoms in rice seedlings caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and Pantoea ananatis, with cell-free supernatant and live culture both demonstrating antimicrobial activity including cell rupture and shrinkage of phytopathogen cells
Reported to produce antifungal compounds (cyclo-(Leu-Pro) and tetradecanoic acid) with broad antifungal spectrum activity, attributed to Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris of plant origin
Reported to produce nisin in milk beginning within 12 hours of inoculation and reaching maximum levels between 24 and 48 hours, with demonstrated inactivation of L. monocytogenes in milk
Reported to enhance parasitoid (Fopius arisanus and Diachasmimorpha longicaudata) emergence rates when associated as a symbiont in Bactrocera dorsalis fly lines, with potential implications for parasitoid-oriented pest management strategies
