Adaptive laboratory evolution of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum enhances furan tolerance and lactic acid production in lignocellulosic hydrolysate
Adaptive laboratory evolution is employed to enhance the tolerance of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum JGR2 to furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to demonstrate improved bioproduction under inhibitor-rich conditions, which yields evolved bacterial candidates for further scientific and industrial exploration.
