Lactobacillus plantarum LP01, also known by its scientific designation LMG P-21021, is a Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic bacterium belonging to the Lactobacillus genus. It has historical synonyms including Streptobacterium plantarum and Lactobacterium plantarum, reflecting its long-standing recognition in microbiological research.
Naturally occurring in diverse environments, this strain is commonly found in fermented foods such as pickles, sauerkraut, and tempeh, as well as on plant surfaces and in soil. Its ability to thrive in harsh conditions—including resistance to acid and bile salts—makes it a robust candidate for various industrial and functional applications.
Backed by multiple human clinical trials, Lactobacillus plantarum LP01 has been extensively studied for its role in supporting gut health and overall well-being. Its well-documented functionality and safety profile have positioned it as a valuable ingredient in probiotic formulations, functional foods, and feed additives.
