“…A clear understanding of how LAB react to environmental stresses is greatly important for the identification and selection of strains with enhanced performance as starter cultures and probiotics (Abhisingha, Dumnil, & Pitaksutheepong, 2018; Dowarah, Verma, Agarwal, Singh, & Singh, 2018; Kim, Shin, Lee, Moon, & Lee, 2018). It is important to thoroughly understand the conditions that support LAB survival and the system that allows them to survive under severe conditions (Grujović, Mladenović, Nikodijević, & Čomić, 2019; Papadimitriou et al., 2016). This review discusses the mechanisms and adaptations underlying probiotic LAB survival under different environmental stress conditions.…”
