Description and significance

Lactobacillus casei is a rod shaped, gram positive bacteria. It is nonsporing, nonmotile, and anaerobic[1]. Lactobacillus casei is found in the human intestine and mouth. Scientist have found it to be beneficial in many ways. It is able to improve and promote digestion. Other advantageous effects include reducing lactose intolerance and alleviating constipation(1).
