Lactobacillus casei bacteria. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the bacteria Lactobacillus casei. L. casei is a bacterium that is found in the human intestines and mouth. Its most common application is in the production of dairy products, specifically yoghurts. Some of the L. casei bacteria are purported to be probiotic and beneficial to the intestinal microbial balance of the host but this has yet to be proven conclusively. This particular sample was cultured from the yoghurt drink \Actimel\". Magnification x10000 (x2500 at 10cm wide)."
