Fructophilic lactic acid bacteria (FLAB) are a recently discovered group, consisting of a few
Fructobacillus and Lactobacillus species. Because of their unique characteristics, including …

Most bacterial species encompass strains with vastly different gene content. Strain diversity
in microbial communities is therefore considered to be of functional importance. Yet little is …

Bacteria are present in stingless bee nest products. However, detailed information on their
characteristics is scarce. Thus, this study aims to investigate the characteristics of bacterial …
