This study investigates how salt and CO2 levels influence microbial community dynamics in vegetable fermentations, showing that lower salt delays LAB dominance while CO2 mitigates Enterobacterales growth.

This study identifies exopolysaccharides (EPS) from Lactobacillus crispatus as critical for modulating immune responses in the vaginal mucosa, with EPS disruption leading to pro-inflammatory effects.

This study identifies riboflavin production by vaginal lactobacilli and shows its role in modulating host immune responses and redox balance.
