Far-out fact

Lactobacilli are rods, bifidobacteria branch (Shorty usually skips it) and B. coagulans packs itself into a spore. Spot the shape, name the microbe.

Lactobacilli (rods) mostly hang out in the small intestine; bifidobacteria (branched rods) prefer the colon. Sporty passes through.

Cartoon physics noticeMicrobes don’t own hats or dance moves. Your result says everything about them and nothing at all about you.
