The new study represents a crucial leap in understanding the genetic capabilities of 26 LAB species, in the first of it's kind family-wide pangenome analysis.

This research is especially relevant for experts and investigators across academic, industrial, medical, and environmental domains, all of whom can utilize these data driven insights to prioritizing strains of required genetic background. The corresponding author of the study is Professor Bernhard O. Palsson. The study was led by Akanksha Rajput , Siddarth Chauhan , and Omkar S. Mohite . Collaboration included teams from DTU Biosustain's Microbial Foods, the Reconstruction Team, and Genome Analytics.: retrieved 10 October 2023 from https://phys.org/news/2023-10-comprehensive-pan-genome-analysis-lactic-acid.html
