Dual effects of a bacteriocin-producing Lactiplantibacillus pentosus CF-6HA, isolated from fermented aloreña table olives, as potential probiotic and antimicrobial agent

The probiotic potential of Lactiplantibacillus pentosus CF-6HA, isolated from fermented Aloreña table olives, was analyzed in vitro and in silico. The strain was found to be a “talented” bacterium with antimicrobial activity against pathogens like Pseudomonas syringae and Verticillium dahliae. It also showed defense mechanisms, functional properties, and the ability to biotransform selenite into nanoparticles, indicating potential applications in food, agriculture, and environment.
