Lactobacillus plantarum is a widespread member of the genus Lactobacillus, commonly found in many fermented food products as well as anaerobic plant matter. It is also present in saliva (from which it was first isolated). It has the ability to liquefy gelatin. L. plantarum has one of the largest genomes known among the lactic acid bacteria and is a very flexible and versatile species.
Lactobacillus plantarumis rod-shaped with an arc-shaped ending. L. plantarumhelps to regulate the composition of gut microflora to form a biological barrier, balance intestinal microbial flora, enhance the body's immunity, lower cholesterol levels, aid lactose intolerance, and inhibit cell formation.

Function:
Lactobacillus plantarum is found in plant material and the gastrointestinal tract of animals, including humans. It is used in the fermentation of foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, and sourdough bread. It has been used for this purpose for hundreds of years, and is a healthier option in food preservation. Along with promoting normal digestive health, Lactobacillus plantarum has been shown to be an effective treatment for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, and colitis. It has the ability to destroy pathogens and to preserve critical nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants. It has also shown the rare ability to produce L. lysine, a beneficial amino acid. One of the most exciting uses for Lactobacillus plantarum involves using it to deliver therapeutic compounds and proteins to the body. This area of research using the bacteria is new and ongoing .
