Research advances of the osmotic stress-related compatible solutes of lactic acid bacteria and it’s transport mechanism

Abstract:

Osmotic stress seriously affects the physiological function of lactic acid bacteria, which has caused some difficulties in the development process of some related products. In recent years, compatible solutes as the functional substances in response to the osmotic stress of lactic acid bacteria have received extensive attention. In this paper, types, properties and transport mechanisms of the osmotic stress-related compatible solutes for lactic acid bacteria are detailed and the prospect of the follow-up research is also made.
