The major protein in whey is β-lactoglobulin, followed by α-lactalbumin (β-lactoglobulin ≈ 65%, α-lactalbumin ≈ 25%, serum albumin ≈ 8%, other ≈ 2%). β-lactoglobulin is a lipocalin protein, and can bind many hydrophobic molecules, suggesting a role in their transport. β-lactoglobulin has also been shown to be able to bind iron via siderophores [7 ...

Lacto-N-tetraose in particular has been found to specifically promote growth of the species Bifidobacterium longum subspecies infantis. [10] [6] B. infantis aids in digestion and is considered "good" bacteria. [6] Genetic studies of B. infantis has pinpointed a locus for HMO metabolism that is conserved across all strains observed to date. [10]

Limosilactobacillus reuteri is found in a variety of natural environments. It has been isolated from many foods, especially meats and dairy products. [2] [5] [6] It appears to be essentially ubiquitous in the animal kingdom, having been found in the gastrointestinal tracts and feces of healthy humans, [7] sheep, chickens, [8] pigs, [9] and rodents.

L. brevis is one of the major lactobacilli found in tibicos grains, used to make kefir, but Lentilactobacillus species are responsible for the production of the polysaccharide (dextran and kefiran) that forms the grains. [3] Major metabolites of L. brevis include lactic acid and ethanol.
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (formerly Lactobacillus arabinosus and Lactobacillus plantarum) [3] is a widespread member of the genus Lactiplantibacillus and commonly found in many fermented food products as well as anaerobic plant matter. [4] L. plantarum was first isolated from saliva. Based on its ability to temporarily persist in plants ...
