Lacticaseibacillus paracasei is a gram-positive, homofermentative, non-spore forming microorganism. [11] As Lc. paracasei is homofermentative, lactic acid is produced as the main product of hexose metabolism while lactate and acetate are produced from pentoses.
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.

Among the best-documented probiotic strains of L. casei, L. casei DN-114001 (Actimel/DanActive) and L. casei Shirota have been extensively studied [19] and are widely available as functional foods. The genomes of these two strains have been sequenced from commercial yogurt, re-designated "LcA" and "LcY" respectively.
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 ...
The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are either rod-shaped (), or spherical (), and are characterized by an increased tolerance to acidity (low pH range).This aspect helps LAB to outcompete other bacteria in a natural fermentation, as they can withstand the increased acidity from organic acid production (e.g., lactic acid).
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.
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 ...
