Abstract

Probiotics are live micro-organisms that confer a health benefit for the host. However, not all the lactic acid bacteria possess the ability to confer health benefits for the host. In this study, two Lact. plantarum strains (CECT 7315 and CECT 7316) were isolated and characterized to demonstrate their excellent qualities as potential probiotic strains.
