1. lactobacillus

   Lactobacillus is a genus of bacteria that converts sugars into lactic acid by fermentation. They are a major part of the lactic acid bacteria group, are usually found in the digestive, urinary, and genital systems, and are used in the production of certain types of yogurt, cheese, sauerkraut, pickles, beer, wine, cider, kimchi, cocoa, and other fermented foods, as well as animal feeds. Some Lactobacillus species are considered probiotics and can offer health benefits such as improved digestion and immune function.

1. Lactobacillus

   Lactobacillus, also called Döderlein's bacillus, is a genus of Gram-positive facultative anaerobic or microaerophilic rod-shaped bacteria. They are a major part of the lactic acid bacteria group, named as such because most of its members convert lactose and other sugars to lactic acid. In humans they are present in the vagina and the gastrointestinal tract, where they make up a small portion of the gut flora. They are usually benign, except in the mouth where they have been associated with cavities and tooth decay. Many species are prominent in decaying plant material. The production of lactic acid makes its environment acidic, which inhibits the growth of some harmful bacteria. Several members of the genus have had their genome sequenced.
