	Lactobacillus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lactobacillus or lactic acid bacteria is a genus of Gram-positive facultative bacteria, named as such because most of its members convert lactose and other simple sugars to lactic acid.
		They are common and usually benign -- indeed, necessary -- inhabitants of the bodies of humans and other animals - for example, they are present in the vagina and the gastrointestinal tract, and are an important genus of the gut flora.
		Sourdough bread is made using a "starter" which is a symbiotic culture of yeast and lactobacteria growing in a water and flour medium.

	Lactobacillus bulgaricus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lactobacillus bulgaricus (Official name Lactobacillus delbrueckii subspecius bulgaricus, LBB) is one of several bacteria used for the production of yoghurt (yogurt).
		It breaks down lactose and is often helpful to sufferers of lactose intolerance, whose digestive systems lack the enzymes to break down lactose to simpler sugars.
		Other legends suggest that yoghurt was known even to the Bulgars (a nomadic tribe, also known as the proto-Bulgarians), along with kumis, a refreshing, slightly alcoholic drink from mare's milk.

	Lactobacillus and Carnobacterium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Thus, the separation of Carnobacterium from Lactobacillus renders the lactobacilli a homogeneous group of nonpathogenic bacteria which are useful to humans in several respects: They are indispensable agents of the fermentation of foods and feed and exert probiotic effects in humans and animals.
		Lactobacilli are indigenous to the stomach of rodents and pigs and to the crop of chickens, thickly colonizing the surface of stratified squamous epithelium in the oesophagus, crop, or stomach of these neonatal and young animals (Savage, 1977; Tannock et al., 1982, 1987).
		The Lactobacillus species has stronger proteolytic activity, and the amino acids and dipeptides produced by it stimulate the growth of the Streptococcus species (Shankar and Davies, 1978), which in its turn reduces the redox potential and forms formic acid that is stimulatory for the Lactobacillus cells (Galesloot et al., 1968).
