• Characteristics of particular species of LAB, actual taxonomy and safety. • Metabolism of LAB and its regulation (saccharides, EPS, proteolysis and amino acid catabolism, citrates, antimicrobially and antivirally active metabolites). • Bacteriphages of LAB, defense mechanisms of LAB. • Genetics of LAB, properties of chosen genetically modified LAB strains. • Functional properties of LAB - probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics. • New applications of LAB in food processing (production of biologically active compounds-vitamines, bioactive peptides). • LAB applications for gut microbiota modulation (gut immune system modulation), cholesterol transformations, preventive treatment of urovaginal and respiratory infections. • Plate count and molecular-biologic methods of LAB estimation in mixtures.
