Abrogating the adenine methylation ability of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei improves its freeze-drying and storage resistance

Abstract Freeze-drying is a widely adopted method for the long-term storage of starter cultures in the food industry but can cause cell instability and a decline in post-storage viability. We used an unmethylated Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Zhang mutant lacking adenine-specific DNA-methyltransferas...
