Isolation and identification of lactic acid bacteria from ginseng sprouts and research on their probiotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer activity
These findings highlight the therapeutic promise of plant-derived probiotic bacterial strains for potential applications in human health, particularly in inflammation and cancer prevention. Moreover, the successful isolation of probiotic LAB from ginseng sprouts underscores the potential of ginseng as a valuable source of health-promoting microbiota.
