Due to its alleged health advantages, several uses in biotechnology and food safety, the well-known probiotic strain Lactiplantibacillus plantarum K25 has drawn interest. This in-depth investigation explores the genetic diversity, makeup, and security characteristics of the microbial genome of L. plantarum K25, providing insightful knowledge about its genotypic profile and functional characteristics. Utilizing cutting-edge bioinformatics techniques like comparative genomics, pan-genomics, and genotypic profiling was carried out to reveal the strain's multidimensional potential in various fields. The results not only add to our understanding of the genetic makeup of L. plantarum K25 but also show off its acceptability in various fields, notably in biotechnology and food safety. The explanation of evolutionary links, which highlights L. plantarum K25's aptitude as a probiotic, is one notable finding from this research. Its safety profile, which is emphasized by the absence of genes linked to antibiotic resistance, is crucial and supports its status as a promising probiotic option.
