The estimated lowest Lm was 11.8 cm (Lmax-based), 12.8 cm (TL vs. GSI), and 13.7 cm (logistic model) for Thryssa setirostris and highest Lm was 23.3, 20.5, and 22.0 cm for Priacanthus macracanthus through Lmax, TL vs. GSI, and logistic-based models, respectively. From these three models, the lowest mean value of Lm was obtained for T. setirostris…[Read more]

Of these, 37 were identified as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum group, while the other two were classified as Limosilactobacillus fermentum and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus. These results indicate a high relative abundance of LAB in traditional pickled cowpea, especially Lactobacillaceae species, which likely contribute to fermentation. This study…[Read more]
