Probiotics database: a potential source of fermented foods

Probiotics have been widely explored in production, research, environmental protection, and disease prevention. Recent efforts have been devoted to the separation of new probiotics from microbes that have never been discovered and the research of their mechanism of action. PBDB, it is a database tha...

description Probiotics have been widely explored in production, research, environmental protection, and disease prevention. Recent efforts have been devoted to the separation of new probiotics from microbes that have never been discovered and the research of their mechanism of action. PBDB, it is a database that collects probiotics from different fermented foods. It has been established and collected 1730 known probiotics (768 production, 264 research, 22 environmental protection, 17 disease control, 659 others) providing the biological information for use in humans, animals, and plants. The database will be updated and expanded periodically. The database can provide empirical data for better comprehension and application in bioinformatic studies. The potential function of the database has been confirmed by the included database, which allows for the analysis of biological information and the mechanisms of probiotics to predict new probiotics from unknown microbial resources. PBDB can be accessed at http://www.lzubiodrugs.com/.
