Several Lactobacillus plantarum strains are marketed as probiotics for their potential health benefits. Prebiotics, e.g., galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), have the potential to selectively stimulate the growth of L. plantarum probiotic strains based on their phenotypic diversity in carbohydrate utilization, and thereby enhance their health promoting effects in the host in a strain-specific manner. Previously, we...
