Probiotic Insights from the Genomic Exploration of Strains Isolated from Fermented Palm Sap.

This study focused on strains isolated from fermented palm sap in southern Thailand that exhibit potential probiotic characteristics, including antibiotic susceptibility, resistance to gastrointestinal stresses, and antimicrobial activity against various pathogens. However, a thorough investigation of the whole genome sequences of isolates is required to ensure their safety and probiotic properties for human applications. This study aimed to sequence the genome of isolated from fermented palm sap, to assess its safety profile, and to conduct a comprehensive comparative genomic analysis with other species.
