Competing Interests
Strain PS, deposited in the Spanish Type Culture Collection (CECT) under reference number CECT 8327, has been found by the authors to hold not only for scientific publication, but also for patenting (Application number P201300612 at Spanish Office of Patents and Trademarks, OEPM). The authors have prepared the patent and the registration in collaboration with the Research Transfer Office (OTRI) of the University of Valencia (contact person, Silvia Bort: silvia.bort@uv.es).
