One Health Probiotics as Biocontrol Agents: One Health Tomato Probiotics

Abstract

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) is one of the most popular and valuable vegetables in the world. The most common products of its industrial processing in the food industry are juice, tomato paste, various sauces, canned or sun-dried fruits and powdered products. Tomato fruits are susceptible to bacterial diseases, and bacterial contamination can be a risk factor for the safety of processed tomato products. Developments in bioinformatics allow researchers to discuss target probiotic strains from an existing large number of probiotic strains for any link in the soil–plant–animal-human chain. Based on the literature and knowledge on the “One Health” concept, this study relates to the suggestion of a new term for probiotics: “One Health probiotics”, beneficial for the unity of people, animals, and the environment. Strains of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, having an ability to ferment a broad spectrum of plant carbohydrates, probiotic effects in human, and animal health, as well as being found in dairy products, vegetables, sauerkraut, pickles, some cheeses, fermented sausages, fish products, and rhizospheric soil, might be suggested as one of the probable candidates for “One Health” probiotics (also, for “One Health—tomato” probiotics) for the utilization in agriculture, food processing, and healthcare.

Host genetics and gut microbiota composition: Baseline gut microbiota composition as a possible prognostic factor for the severity of COVID-19 in patients with familial Mediterranean fever disease

“…Analysis of the relative concentrations/abundances of main phyla/families/genera in baseline gut microbiota may be the basis for the development of COVID-19 disease severity diagnosis approaches and future suggestions of appropriate preventive techniques through immunostimulants and vaccines. In addition, taking into account the fact that probiotics have beneficial effects on the host's health (Reid, 2005 ; Galstyan et al, 2018 ; Pepoyan et al, 2018b , 2020a , b ; Harutyunyan et al, 2022 ), and are already suggested in COVID-19 treatments (Nguyen et al, 2022 ; Suvorov et al, 2022 ), the findings of this study will help during corrective probiotic therapies when applied to COVID-19 cases.…”

Fungi beyond limits: The agricultural promise of extremophiles

“…Incidentally, in a recent perspective review, Harutyunyan and co‐workers emphasized conducting more research on ‘One Health probiotics’ (Harutyunyan et al., 2022 ). In brief, the concept refers to safe microorganisms displaying beneficial effects to all living beings taking part in the food chain of edible vegetables, i.e.…”

Biocontrol strategies: an eco-smart tool for integrated pest and diseases management

“…Some soil amendments may be required to ensure beneficial microbes' survival. Perhaps "probiotics" can be identified to maintain plant microbiomes healthy [49][50][51][52][53].…”
