Answer:

Lactobacillus is a group of Gram-positive bacteria.

They are also called as lactic acid bacteria (LAB)

They are used in labs and in food industries to convert milk into curd.

Explanation:

Milk is converted to curd by a group of Lactobacillus bacteria (commonly called lactic acid bacteria/LAB) which grow in milk and convert it to curd.

During growth of bacteria, the LAB produce acids that coagulate and partially digest the milk proteins.

A small amount of curd added to the fresh milk as inoculum or starter which at suitable temperatures multiply, thus converting milk to curd, which also improves its nutritional quality by increasing vitamin B12.

In our stomach, the LAB play very beneficial role in checking disease causing microbes.
