Abstract
Improvement of bacterial strains in regard to specific abiotic environmental factors is broadly used to enhance strain characteristics for processing and product quality. However, there is currently no multidimensional probiotic strain improvement approach for both abiotic and biotic factors of a colon microbiota.
