description <i>Lactobacillus</i>, a genus of lactic acid bacteria, plays a crucial function in food production preservation, and probiotics. It is particularly important to develop new <i>Lactobacillus</i> strains with superior performance by gene editing. Currently, the identification of its functional genes and the mining of excellent functional genes mainly rely on the traditional gene homologous recombination technology. CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing is a rapidly developing technology in recent years. It has been widely applied in mammalian cells, plants, yeast, and other eukaryotes, but less in prokaryotes, especially <i>Lactobacillus</i>. Compared with the traditional strain improvement methods, CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing can greatly improve the accuracy of <i>Lactobacillus</i> target sites and achieve traceless genome modification. The strains obtained by this technology may even be more efficient than the traditional random mutation methods. This review examines the application and current issues of CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing in <i>Lactobacillus</i>, as well as the development trend of CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing in <i>Lactobacillus</i>. In addition, the fundamental mechanisms of CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing are also presented and summarized.
