Lactobacillus plantarum-C3 is a distinct strain belonging to the species Lactobacillus plantarum, which falls under the family Lactobacillaceae, class Bacilli, and phylum Firmicutes. As a Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic bacillus, it shares the core biological characteristics of the Lactobacillus plantarum species but possesses unique functional traits validated by scientific research.
This strain is typically isolated from fermented plant-based foods, a habitat that has shaped its robust adaptability—consistent with the ecological distribution of Lactobacillus plantarum, which is widely found in fermented vegetables, dairy products, and human intestinal tracts. Like other recognized safe (GRAS) members of the species, Lactobacillus plantarum-C3 has no history of opportunistic pathogenicity, laying a solid foundation for its application in food, health, and agricultural fields.
In recent years, with the growing demand for functional probiotics, Lactobacillus plantarum-C3 has emerged as a research focus due to its proven effects in metabolic regulation and immune support. Unlike generic Lactobacillus plantarum strains, its specific mechanisms—such as enzyme inhibition and anti-inflammatory signaling—have been verified through in vitro experiments and animal models, distinguishing it in the competitive probiotic market.
