If you’ve ever read the back of a probiotic supplement pack, you’ve probably seen long, complicated names like Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus, or Bifidobacterium longum. Sometimes there’s even a strange number next to them — something like NBIMCC 8244 or DSM 17938. Those codes may look like random lab jargon, but they’re actually the hidden passports of microbes or something like their ID cards. They help scientists know exactly which living strain i

A healthy gut barrier depends on cooperation between different groups of microbes. Lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria help stimulate mucus production and maintain a stable surface environment along the intestinal lining. When this mucus layer is strong, it reduces direct contact between bacteria and gut cells.

Lactic Acid Bacteria, Bifidobacteria, and Butyrate: Supporting Gut Lining and Intestinal Wall Health

Streptococcus thermophilus (often shortened to S. thermophilus) is one of the most essential bacteria used in the food industry.

Bifidus artistic Bifidobacterium  (often referred to as Bifidus ) is a genus of probiotic bacteria naturally found in the human gut, particularly in infants. It has been widely studied for its role in digestion and immunity. First discovered over a century ago, these bacteria remain central to our understanding of how beneficial microbes support human health. The story of Bifidobacteria began in 1899, when Dr. Henry Tissier, a French paediatrician working at the Pasteur Insti

Among the many beneficial microbes that call our bodies home, Limosilactobacillus reuteri (formerly Lactobacillus reuteri) stands out for its remarkable journey from nature to laboratories to health-conscious consumers worldwide. This small bacterium, quietly performing its symbiotic duties for millennia...
