  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 (LBB) is one of several bacteria used for the production of yoghurt (yogurt).
According to legend, a Bulgarian shepherd in the Balkan Mountains (Stara Planina) who did not have enough vessels to hold all the milk fom his sheep made a bag from a fresh lamb's hide and put the extra milk there.
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 Summary
Lactobacillus is the name given to a group of Gram-negative bacteria that do not form spores but derive energy from the conversion of the sugar glucose into another sugar known as lactose.
Lactobacillus GG has shown great promise as a nutritional supplement because the bacteria are able to survive the passage through the very acidic conditions of the stomach.
Lactobacillus is a genus of Gram-positive facultative bacteria.

The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of administration of probiotic bacteria on morphology of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and pancreas.
bulgaricus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Lactobacillus casei were grown at 37 degrees C in de Man, Rogosa, Sharpe (MRS) broth supplemented with 0.5% 2,3,5 triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) to evaluate reducing activity.
The Lactobacillus reuteri group had also further effects such as reduced occurrence of gastro-intestinal symptoms, earlier tolerance of food by mouth (intravenous nutrition could be stopped earlier), reduced weight loss during the first week of life, better growth during the first month of life and fewer days of hospitalisation.

Lactobacillus Bulgaricus feeds itself on the milk sugar (lactose) and hence reduces significantly the lactose content.
Due to Lactobacillus Bulgaricus and other good bacteria digestibility of the milk proteins, lactose and milk fat is improved in fermented dairy drinks.

Lactobacillus Bulgaricus (LBB) is a bacteria used for the production of yoghurt(yogurt), not only in Bulgaria, but in many other countries.
A legend tells that a Bulgarian shepherd in the Balkan Mountain (Stara Planina) once did not enough vessels to put all the milk he milked fom his sheep, so he made a bag from a fresh lamb's hide and put the extra milk there.
So the first yoghurt was known to be made of sheep's milk, but nowadays it is made mainly of cow's milk, and rarely from sheep or goat milk, because the much higher cost offsets the higher quality.
