In this study, 40 strains isolated from a wide range of cereals and seeds
(such as different cultivars of wheat, sorghum, oat, rye, chia and
sesame) where shown to increase folate concentrations in a strain
dependent manner. The production of folate was highest in strain
E. mundtii ES32 and ES63, Lb. pentosus ES124 and Lb. plantarum
ES137.
