Background: Pediococcus pentosaceus, a promising strain of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), is gradually attracting attention, leading to a rapid increase in experimental research. Due to increased demand for practical applications of microbes, the functional and harmless P. pentosaceus might be a worthwhile LAB strain for both the food industry and biological applications.
Results: As an additive, P. pentosaceus improves the taste and nutrition of food, as well as the storage of animal products. Moreover, the antimicrobial abilities of Pediococcus strains are being highlighted. Evidence suggests that bacteriocins or bacteriocin-like substances (BLISs) produced by P. pentosaceus play effective antibacterial roles in the microbial ecosystem. In addition, various strains of P. pentosaceus have been highlighted for probiotic use due to their anti-inflammation, anticancer, antioxidant, detoxification, and lipid-lowering abilities.
Conclusions: Therefore, it is necessary to continue studying P. pentosaceus for further use. Thorough study of several P. pentosaceus strains should clarify the benefits and drawbacks in the future.

A major threat to world health is the high death rate from gastrointestinal (GI) cancer, especially in Asia, South America, and Europe. The new approaches are needed because of the complexity and heterogeneity of gastrointestinal (GI) cancer, which has made the development of effective treatments difficult. To investigate the potential of peptide-based therapies that target the P21 Activated Kinase 1 (PAK1) in GI cancer, we are using the DBsORF database to predict peptides from the genomes of two bacterial strains: Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus.

Lactic acid (LA) is a versatile, optically active compound with applications across the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, largely driven by its role in producing biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA). Due to its abundance, lignocellulosic biomass is a promising and sustainable resource for LA production, although media derived from these matrices are often rich in xylose and contain growth inhibitors. This study investigates LA production using a xylose-rich medium derived from DC stalks treated through steam explosion and enzymatic hydrolysis.

We successfully enhanced bacterial cellulose (BC) production in low-cost coconut water (CW) at 37 °C by low-nutrient adaptation of Komagataeibacter xylinus MSKU 12. In this study, the BC yield was significantly increased by simultaneous coculture fermentation of MSKU 12 with Saccharomyces bayanus in Hestrin-Schramm (HS) and CW media. Coculture fermentation at 30 °C produced BC yields of 13.
