Latilactobacillus curvatus is a species of gram-positive lactic acid bacteria in the family Lactobacillaceae. It is a facultatively heterofermentative bacterium commonly found in fermented foods, particularly fermented meat products. L. curvatus contributes to acidification, flavor development, and bacteriocin production during fermentation. Some strains also exhibit potential probiotic properties.
