Lactobacillus acidophilus



Hello.
My name is L. acidophilus.
I am a Gram Positive, rod shaped bacteria.
I have a nice, regular shape, but I can't form spores.

I'm never really dangerous.
In fact, I'm usually very helpful.
I can live in your mouth or your gut.
I'm most important in a woman's vaginal area, because I make sure it is acidic enough to be healthy.

  2. Hello

    I was searching the internet on S. pneumoniae vaccines, and your site caught my eye. Not quite what I wanted, but cool website nevertheless.

    Will you be doing fungi? For some reason they are tricky to learn.
    Cheers

  3. I will!
    After bacteria I will be doing either viruses, rickettsia, fungi or parasites.

    I just haven't decided which yet.
