Abstract
strains associated with a vegetarian diet had a higher "replication, recombination and repair" functional potential and may also have a greater capacity for glutathione (GSH) synthesis and metabolism. The results of our analysis provide evidence for the possibility of a specific selection of lactobacillus strains for people with different dietary habits.
