Abstract

GroESL-overproducing Lactobacillus paracasei NFBC 338 was dried, and its viability was compared with that of controls. Spray- and freeze-dried cultures overproducing GroESL exhibited ∼10-fold and 2-fold better survival, respectively, demonstrating the importance of GroESL in stress tolerance, which can be exploited to enhance the technological performance of sensitive probiotic cultures.
