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.

What else can I help you with?
Bacteria that do not require aerobic respiration?
Bacteria that do not require aerobic respiration are known as anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria can survive and grow in the absence of oxygen by using alternative electron acceptors in anaerobic pathways such as fermentation or anaerobic respiration. Examples of anaerobic bacteria include Clostridium and Methanogens.
Does freezing kill lactobacillus bacteria?
Freezing does not kill Lactobacillus bacteria, but it can make them dormant. When thawed under proper conditions, many can become active again. However, some strains may experience a slight reduction in viability.
Is lactobacillus acidophilus a bad bacteria?
No, Lactobacillus acidophilus is considered a beneficial bacteria that is commonly found in the human gut and is associated with various health benefits, such as supporting digestion and immune function.
Is lactobacillus a prokaryote?
The lactobacillus refers to any of various rod-shaped, sessile aerobic bacteria from the genus Lactobacillus that ferment lactic acid from sugars and are the causative agents in the souring of milk.
What bacteria can survive without the presence of oxygen?
Archaebacteria called extremeophiles have some species that live entirely anaerobically. Bacteria [and other organisms] that respire using O2 as the 'final' electron acceptor are termed to be Aerobic, while bacteria [and the odd organism] that has the biochemical capacity to Live without O2 are termed to be Anaerobic.
Is lactobacillus bacteria gram positive bactaria?
Lactobacillus is gram positive bacteria
Is bacteria the same as lactobacillus vulgaris?
No, bacteria is a broad category that includes a wide variety of different microorganisms, while Lactobacillus vulgaris is a specific species of bacteria within the Lactobacillus genus. Lactobacillus vulgaris is commonly found in the human gastrointestinal tract and is known for its probiotic benefits.
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.
Is Lactobacillus virus or bacteria?
Lactobacillus is a type of bacteria commonly found in the gut and other parts of the body. It is not a virus.
What are the names of useful bacteria?
lactobacillus
Example of bacilli bacteria?
Lactobacillus
What are the useful bacteria in your lifetime?

What is the bacteria used to make yogurt?
Bacteria from the genus Lactobacillus.
What are the side effects of lactobacillus ferment when in contact in skin?
Lactobacillus ferment is a compound created by the fermentation of the Lactobacillus bacteria. It is used in skin treatments like acne since the good bacteria will help cut back on the bad acne causing bacteria.
Does a lactobacillus have animal cells?
No. They are bacteria and all bacteria are prokaryotes not eukaryotes.
Which bacteria is used in dairy industry?
lactobacillus
Which is an example of prokaryote cell?
lactobacillus bacteria
