Morphology - Bifidobacterium comprises Gram-positive, non-spore forming, anaerobic, pleomorphic bacilli. They have various shapes including short, curved rods, club-shaped rods, and bifurcated Y-shaped rods.

• Bifidobacterium bifidum UABb-10™
  A common resident of the colonic microbiota in healthy humans.
• Bifidobacterium breve UABbr-11™
  A common resident of the colonic microbiota in healthy humans.
• Bifidobacterium infantis UABi-13™
  Generally dominates the gastrointestinal tract of healthy infants and has been associated with clinical health benefits
• Bifidobacterium longum UABl-14™
  Among the most prevalent species in the healthy human gastrointestinal tract. The species is particularly well studied in human clinical trials.

Morphology - Lactobacillus are rod-shaped, Gram-positive, fermentative and facultative anaerobic or microaerophilic. They normally form straight rods, but under certain conditions spiral or coccobacillary forms have been observed. In most cases they form chains of varying length.

• Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS®-1
  A widely used probiotic and is particularly well suited to survive gastrointestinal transit. L. acidophilus can be found in a variety of environments including the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genital tracts of healthy humans. The UAS Labs strain is particularly well studied in human clinical trials.
• Lactobacillus reuteri LRC™
  Found in a variety of environments including the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genital tracts of healthy humans. The LRC™ strain has been particularly well studied in randomized controlled clinical trials to support heart health.
• Lactobacillus gasseri BNR17™
  A normal commensal microorganism of the gastrointestinal tract as well as a dominant member of the healthy vaginal tract. L. gasseri is a widely used probiotic. The BNR17™ strain has been clinically proven to provide both weight management and gastrointestinal support.
• Lactobacillus acidophilus UALa-01™
  A widely used probiotic and is particularly well suited to survive gastrointestinal transit. L. acidophilus can be found in a variety of environments including the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genital tracts of healthy humans.
• Lactobacillus brevis UALbr-02™
  Found in a variety of environments including the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genital tracts of healthy humans.
• Lactobacillus casei UALc-03™
  Found naturally in fermented foods.
• Lactobacillus gasseri UALg-05™
  A normal commensal microorganism of the gastrointestinal tract as well as a dominant member of the healthy vaginal tract. L. gasseri is a widely used probiotic and several probiotic attributes for this species have been demonstrated based on human clinical trials.
• Lactobacillus paracasei UALpc-04™
  A widely used probiotic and has been isolated from a variety of environments, including dairy sources and plants as well as the gastrointestinal tract of humans, where it's part of the healthy flora.
• Lactobacillus plantarum UALp-05™
  A widely used probiotic and can be found in a variety of environments including the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genital tracts of healthy humans. L. plantarum can also be found in many lactic acid fermented, plant-based foods. The species is particularly well studied in human clinical trials.
• Lactobacillus reuteri UALre-16™
  Found in a variety of environments including the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genital tracts of healthy humans.
• Lactobacillus rhamnosus UALr-18™
  Found in a variety of environments including the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genital tracts of healthy humans. L. rhamnosus is one of the most common Lactobacillus species in breast-fed infants and has been extensively assessed in human clinical trials.
• Lactobacillus salivarius UALs-07™
  Found in a variety of environments including the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genital tracts of healthy humans.
• Lactobacillus bulgaricus UALb-15™

Morphology - Lactococcus lactis is a spherical-shaped, non-sporulating, Gram-positive cocci that groups in pairs and short chains.

• Lactococcus lactis UALl-08™
  Found in a variety of environments including plant material and the gastrointestinal tract of animals. L. lactis is of crucial importance for manufacturing dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt.

Morphology - Streptococcus thermophilus is a non-sporulating, Gram-positive, facultative anaerobe with coccus-shaped cells.

• Streptococcus thermophilus UASt-09™
  Among the most commonly used species in the dairy industry, mainly in the fermentation of yogurt and several cheese varieties.

Morphology - Bacillus are rod-shaped, Gram-positive, fermentative, aerobic or (under some conditions) anaerobic bacteria. Bacillus frequently occur in chains of varying length.

• ProDURA® Bacillus coagulans
  A unique, spore-forming bacteria that provides digestive and immune support. In spore form, Bacillus coagulans can remain dormant, encased in an outer shell that can withstand harsh environments like the stomach. Once reaching physiological conditions of the intestine Bacillus coagulans can germinate and become metabolically active. When studied, the UAS Labs strains was found to have greater heat resistance than competitors, making it well suited for extreme processing, shipping, and storage conditions.
