lactobacillus
Gut-friendly microbe
Lactobacillus is a genus of bacteria that converts sugars to lactic acid, making it essential for producing yogurt, cheese, sauerkraut, and other fermented foods.
These rod-shaped microorganisms live naturally in the human gut and are widely marketed as probiotics for digestive health: The yogurt contains live lactobacillus cultures.
The plural is lactobacilli. (Capitalized Lactobacillus is the formal genus name in scientific nomenclature.)
