1. Fermentation in Food Production: Weissella species are commonly used in the fermentation of foods, contributing to the development of specific flavors and textures in fermented products. These bacteria are often part of the natural microbiota involved in processes like sourdough fermentation and vegetable fermentation.

2. Probiotic Potential: Some strains of Weissella have been investigated for their potential probiotic properties. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer health benefits to the host. Certain Weissella strains have shown potential in vitro and in animal studies for promoting gut health and exerting antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria.

3. Immunomodulation: Like other LAB, Weissella species may have immunomodulatory effects. Research suggests that LAB can interact with the immune system and modulate its responses, potentially influencing the balance of the immune system.

4. Antimicrobial Properties: Weissella strains have been studied for their antimicrobial properties, which may contribute to the inhibition of pathogenic bacteria in the gut. This property could be beneficial for overall gut health.

5. Diversity of Strains: It's important to note that the effects of different Weissella strains can vary, and not all strains may have the same probiotic or health-promoting properties.

Legend

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
