Lactobacillius Acidophilus is a proboitic bacteria that is very useful to human health. It gets its name from lacto- meaning milk, -bacillus meaning rod-like in shape.  Acidophilus means acid-loving. It is the most commonly known friendly bacteria. It is shown in both pictures below in its bacillius form. In the picture on the right it is shown after it had been gram stained.
