Detailed explanation-1: -Lactic acid bacteria are used to produce lactic acid which is an important industrial product and also used in beverages, confectionery, diary products etc. It also checks diseases causing microbes in the stomach.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lactic acid bacteria, particularly the rod-shaped lactobacilli, are generally regarded as being of a friendly disposition. They are members of the normal microbial ecosystem in the intestinal tract and seem to play a key role in maintaining stability and diversity of the gut microbiome (1).
