The name includes morphology, a rod-shaped (bacillus shape) bacterium with a width of 2.0 to 4.0μm and length of 0.8 to 1.0μm. Strains of L. paracasei have been isolated from a variety of environments including dairy products, plants or plant fermentations, and from the human and animal gastrointestinal tracts.
Yakult's ingredients are water, skimmed milk, glucose-fructose syrup, sucrose, natural flavors , and live Lacticaseibacillus casei Shirota bacteria. [1] [2] The strain was originally classified as being Lactobacillus casei. [1] Yakult is prepared by adding glucose to skimmed milk and heating the mixture at 90 to 95 °C for about 30 minutes ...

Minoru Shirota (代田 稔, Shirota Minoru, April 23, 1899 – March 10, 1982) was a Japanese microbiologist. In the 1930 Shirota identified a strain of lactic acid bacteria that is part of normal gut flora that he originally called Lactobacillus casei Shirota, which appeared to help contain the growth of harmful bacteria in the gut.
The Lactobacillaceae are a family of lactic acid bacteria. [3] It is the only family in the lactic acid bacteria which includes homofermentative and heterofermentative organisms; [4] in the Lactobacillaceae, the pathway used for hexose fermentation is a genus-specific trait.
Salmonella causes about 1.35 million illnesses, 26,500 hospitalizations, and 420 deaths in the U.S. annually, according to the CDC. Contributing: James Powel and Ahjané Forbes.
A 2002 meta-analysis that included five double-blind trials examining the short-term (2–8 weeks) effects of a yogurt with probiotic strains on serum cholesterol levels found little effect of 8.5 mg/dL (0.22 mmol/L) (4% decrease) in total cholesterol concentration, and a decrease of 7.7 mg/dL (0.2 mmol/L) (5% decrease) in serum LDL concentration.
Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus (previously Lactobacillus rhamnosus [1]) is a bacterium that originally was considered to be a subspecies of L. casei, but genetic research found it to be a separate species in the L. casei clade, which also includes L. paracasei and L. zeae. [2] [3] It is a short Gram-positive homofermentative facultative anaerobic ...
