Enhancing water stress tolerance improves fitness in biological control strains of Lactobacillus plantarum in plant environments.
Lactobacillus plantarum strains PM411 and TC92 can efficiently control bacterial plant diseases, but their fitness on the plant surface is limited under unfavourable low relative humidity (RH) conditions. To increase tolerance of these strains to water stress, an adaptive strategy was used consistin...
