Based on the literature and knowledge on the “One Health” concept, a new term for probiotics: “One Health probiotics”, beneficial for the unity of people, animals, and the environment, is suggested.
Strains of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, having an ability to ferment a broad spectrum of plant carbohydrates, probiotic effects in human, and animal health, as well as being found in dairy products, vegetables, sauerkraut, pickles, some cheeses, fermented sausages, fish products, and rhizospheric soil, might be suggested as one of the probable candidates for “One Health” probiotics (beneficial for the unity of people, animals, and the environment) for the utilization in agriculture, food processing, and healthcare.
Probiotic | Human | Animal | Plant (Tomato) Products | Plant | Soil |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum | Food-associated Lpb. plantarum shows a good adaptation and adhesion ability in the gastrointestinal tract and the potential to affect host health through various beneficial activities [118][19]. | Lpb. plantarum supplementation can modulate overall health and immunity [119][20] as well as gut microbial composition and the interaction network between gut microbiota and the immune system [120][21].The anti-Helicobacter pylori effects of the probiotic in the stomach tissue of C57BL/6 mice has also been described [89][22]. | The use of this probiotic in the creation of fermented tomato juice products might be quite effective [113,114][23][24]. Lpb. plantarum is the main bacterial species associated with olive processing [121][25]. Probiotic tomato juice could serve as a health beverage for vegetarians/consumers who are allergic to dairy products [122][26]. | This probiotic has been frequently found in environments associated with plants [123,124,125][27][28][29].Significant stimulation of germination in tomatoes with poor initial germination capacity was achieved by soaking their seeds for 6 h in suspensions of nine out of ten Lpb. plantarum strains tested [126][30]. | This probiotic has highly antagonistic activities against most soil pathogens [37][31]. |
Lactobacillus acidophilus | The beneficial role of this probiotic in regulating imbalances in human intestinal microbiota [127][32], as well as in improving overall human health, is well- known [128][33]. The probiotic participates in the biodegradation processes [129][34]. | L. acidophilus supplementation can modulate overall health, immunity, and gut microbial composition [130][35] as well as the interaction network between gut microbiota and animal immune system [120][21]. | Probiotic tomato juice, containing this probiotic could serve as a health beverage for vegetarians or consumers who are allergic to dairy products [122][26]. | The probiotic might be used as a plant growth promoting agent [131][36].Probiotic-loaded edible films/coatings are known for maintaining safety, quality, nutritional and functional characteristics in fruits and vegetables for longer storage periods [132][37]. | Gut lactobacilli modulate bioaccessibility in soil lead [133][38]. |
Lacticaseibacillus casei and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei | The effects of these probiotics on skin [134][39] and the prevention of age-dependent cognitive decline by upregulating brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression in the hippocampus, as well as cAMP response element binding protein, were revealed in [135][40]. | The Lcb. casei IMV B-7280 strain has a positive effect on the gut microbiota composition of mice [136][41]. | Probiotic tomato juice could serve as a health beverage for vegetarians/consumers who are allergic to dairy products [122][26]. | The effects of probiotic-loaded edible films/coatings on the maintainance of safety, quality and nutritional and functional characteristics of fruits and vegetables for long storage periods are known [132][37]. Furthermore, the effect of gamma-irradiated probiotics as an edible coating to enhance the storage of tomato under cold storage conditions is known [137][42]. | |
Lactobacillus delbrueckii | The effects of this probiotic on immune responses in the elderly were described in [138][43]. | The efficiency of this probiotic’s applications on pre- and post-radiation nutrition for rats were described in [48][44]. | Probiotic tomato juice could serve as a health beverage for vegetarians or consumers who are allergic to dairy products [122][26]. | Plant-originated L. bulgaricus was described by Michaylova and coauthors [139][45]. | |
Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus | The effects of this probiotic on the modulation gut microbiota were described in [140][46]. | The efficiency of this probiotic on pre- and post-radiation nutrition for rats were described in [48][44]. | Fermented apple juice was the best substrate for the production of folic acid via Lpb. plantarum and Lcb. rhamnosus [141][47]. | The effects of probiotic-loaded edible films/coatings on the maintainance of the safety, quality and nutritional and functional characteristics of fruit and vegetables for long storage periods are known [132][37]. | |
Leuconostoc mesenteroides | The effects of this probiotic on the age-related decline in T cell-related immune functions were shown in [142][48]. | This bacteria has great potential as a bee probiotic and could enhance the health of bee colonies [143][49]. | This bacteria, being one of the predominant in the tomato surface microbiome, helps to control contaminate proliferation on tomato purée during storage at abusive temperatures [144][50]. | The presence of this bacteria in raw fruits indicates the fact that the fruit is highly nutritionally and bacteriologically healthy [145][51]. |
