Is lactobacillus an anaerobic bacteria?

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."Comparison of aerobic and anaerobic growth of Lactobacillus plantarum in a glucose medium", http://www.springerlink.com/content/p18g513007110117/


How does a Lactobacillus acidophilous get its energy?

Lactobacillus acidophilus obtains its energy through the fermentation of carbohydrates, such as glucose and lactose, into organic acids like lactic acid. This process is known as homofermentative fermentation, which produces energy in the form of ATP for the bacteria's growth and metabolism.


What is the difference in lactobacillus acidofilus and lactobacillus gg?

Lactobacillus acidophilus is a common probiotic strain that helps maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria. Lactobacillus GG (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG) is a specific strain known for its ability to survive in the acidic environment of the stomach and adhere to the intestinal lining more effectively. While both are beneficial for gut health, Lactobacillus GG may have stronger adherence and colonization properties.

Is there a difference between L Bifidus and L Bifidus Regularis?

There is nothing as L. bifidus. There used to be a Lactobacillus bifidus, but since 1969 this may not be used anymore. It probably refers now to any strain of any of the more as 25 species of Bifidobacterium. Which basically means, that you have absolutely no idea to what it refers. Bifidobacterium animalis supsp. animalis strain (Acti)Regularis is a strain used by Danone in their Activia range. This is a well defined and described strain, which has scientifically proven health effects. So the difference is that one is a non existing unclear wrong name that non one knows what it means and a well defined starin. Ralf Hartemink, PhD Food Microbiologist
