Lactobacillus is a genus of Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic or microaerophilic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacteria. They are a major part of the lactic acid bacteria group, converting sugars to lactic acid. Many species are used in the production of fermented foods like yogurt, cheese, and sauerkraut. Certain strains are also used as probiotics to support gut health.

Production Process

Lactobacillus is typically produced through fermentation processes in controlled environments. This involves culturing specific strains in a nutrient-rich medium under specific temperature and pH conditions to promote bacterial growth and lactic acid production. After fermentation, the bacteria are harvested, concentrated, and often freeze-dried to create a stable, shelf-stable product.
