Adaptation of anaerobic strains to growth under aerobic conditions is usually accompanied by a diminution in branching. The organism has little or no morphological resemblance to a true Lactobacillus species, but strongly resembles certain strains of Corynebacterium., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-13-2-292
