Lactic Acid Bacteria Engineering

Background Introduction:

Lactic acid is a compound produced by Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) as a byproduct of sugar fermentation. It has various applications in industries such as food and beverage, biotechnology, and agriculture. Lactic acid is known for its ability to enhance the flavor, texture, and nutritional profile of fermented foods and beverages. Additionally, it is used in the production of probiotics, antibiotics, therapeutic proteins, and biofertilizers.

Lactic Acid Bacteria Strain Engineering refers to the process of modifying Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) strains to optimize lactic acid production and improve their overall performance. This involves genetic engineering and metabolic pathway engineering techniques to tailor LAB strains to meet specific requirements and achieve desired outcomes. The goal is to enhance lactic acid production, improve fermentation performance, ensure strain stability and viability, and customize LAB strains for various applications in industries such as food and beverage, biotechnology, and agriculture.
