An integrated genomic and phenotypic insight into safety performance and probiotic potential of a novel strain Pediococcus pentosaceus K6 derived from Tibetan kefir
Genetic and phenotypic findings support P. pentosaceus K6 as a highly promising candidate for probiotic and biopreservation applications and identify putative type III polyketide synthase and terpene gene clusters, providing genetic candidates for this antimicrobial phenotype.
