I am asking myself the same question, and found this report, which seems to indicate that lactobacillus prefers an anaerobic environment...:
Abstract: The growth rate of Lactobacillus plantarum(...) decreased during aerobic incubation (relative to anaerobic incubation). (...) Increased O2 utilization was accompanied by a switch in metabolism which resulted in acetate rather than lactate accumulation in aerobic cultures.

Where lactobacillus from?
Lactobacillus delbrueckii is the bacteria used to make milk into yogurt. Lactobacillus delbrueckii are Gram-positive(retain the color of the crystal violet stain in the Gram stain process), facultatively anaerobic(can produce ATP with or without oxygen), non-motile(not capable of movement) and non-spore-forming, rod-shaped members of lactic acid bacteria. Lactobacillus delbrueckii is important because when introduced to milk it can convert the lactose to lactic acid by carbohydrate fermentation(anaerobic respiration). Milk has a PH of about 6.5 which is slightly acidic, with the introduction of a Lactobacillus delbrueckii sample lactic acid is produced lowering the PH to about 4.0 which is preferable because it inhibits human pathogen growth.
