Genome sequences and functional analysis of Levilactobacillus brevis LSF9-1 and Pediococcus acidilactici LSF1-1 from fermented fish cake (Som-fak) with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) production.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a crucial inhibitory neurotransmitter in the sympathetic nervous system that exerts regulatory effects on the blood, immune, and nervous systems. GABA production in som-fak, a traditional fermented fish of Thailand, has been attributed to the activity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The present study aims to characterize the LAB isolates and compare the genomes and GABA synthesis genes of selected isolates capable of GABA production. Thirteen isolates demonstrating GABA synthesis capability were identified based on their phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. Seven isolates (group I: LSF3-3, LSF8-3, LSF9-1, LSF9-3, LSF9-6, LSF9-7, and LSF10-14) were identified as Levilactobacillus brevis with 99.78-100% similarity. LSF2-1, LSF3-2, LSF5-4, and LSF6-5 (group II) were identified as Lactiplantibacillus pentosus with 99.86-100% similarity. Strain LSF1-1 (group III) was identified as Pediococcus acidilactici (99.47%), and LSF10-4 (group IV) was identified as Pediococcus pentosaceus with 99.93% similarity. The GABA production of isolates ranged from 0.087 to 16.935 g/L. The maximum production of 16.935 g/L from 3% monosodium glutamate was obtained from strain LSF9-1. Gene and genome analysis revealed that L. brevis LSF9-1 has multiple gad genes in the genome, such as gadB1, gadB2, gadC1, and gadC2, making it the potential strain for GABA production. Additionally, the genome analysis of P. acidilactici LSF1-1 consists of gadA, gadB, and gadC, which respond to controlling GABA production and export. Furthermore, strain LSF1-1 was considered safe, containing no virulence factors. Thus, Levilactobacillus brevis LSF9-1 and Pediococcus acidilactici LSF1-1 have the potential for GABA production and probiotic use in future studies.
