Advances on Functional Research on Surface Layer Proteins of Lactic Acid Bacteria
Surface layer proteins(SLPs)of lactic acid bacteria are primary proteins on the microbial surface,exhibiting diverse functionalities.This review provides an overview of the roles of SLPs in cell protection,inter-bacterial interactions,immune regulation,and nanotechnology.In-depth discussions are conducted on the applications of SLPs in supporting bacterial structures,regulating immune responses,and serving as nano-carriers and markers.The aim of this review is to offer new perspectives for future research on SLPs in microbiology,immunology,and nanotechnology.
