摘要

This study evaluated the effects of low-dose electron beam irradiation (EBI) at 50, 100, and 150 Gy on the membrane characteristics, growth, and antimicrobial activity of the One Health probiotic strain Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ZPZ. Findings were compared with those of Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS®-1 to assess strain-specific responses. Results indicated a dose-dependent reduction in growth, with untreated Lpb. plantarum ZPZ cultures averaged 1.26 × 107 CFU/mL, decreasing to 1.45 × 106 CFU/mL at 150 Gy (P < 0.05). Antimicrobial efficacy also decreased from 0.16 in untreated samples to 0.31 in samples treated with 150 Gy (P < 0.05, OD600). While surface hydrophobicity was initially reduced by 50 Gy treatment, it was restored by 150 Gy treatment, which correlated with an 82.7% increase in biofilm formation (r = 0.67). The obtained results show that EBI modulates the functional properties of Lpb. plantarum ZPZ and therefore indicates the possibility of its application in food safety and One Health strategies. Further studies are needed to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms.
