Lactobacillus bulgaricus GLB44 Lactobacillus bulgaricus GLB44 "Lactobacillus delbrueckii" subsp. "bulgaricus" is a bacterial subspecies traditionally isolated from European yogurts. Lactobacillus bulgaricus GLB44 differs from the rest of the "L. bulgaricus" strains as it was isolated from the leaves of "Galanthus nivalis" (snowdrop flower) in Bulgaria, becoming the only known strain of this subspecies that has vegan origin (not from yogurt) available as a commercial probiotic. Probiotics are health promoting bacteria which, when consumed in adequate amounts, confer a benefit on the host, normally associated with positive effects on the digestive and immune systems, and are usually prescribed during or after antibiotic treatment to
Chlamydomonas nivalis temperatures rise above 30 °C. It is a true snow alga because it performs better in low temperatures than warm temperatures. Due to "C. nivalis"’ ability to perform photosynthesis well from cold to moderate temperatures, this species is considered a cryotolerant mesophile rather than a cryophile. This organism is also very resilient as they can also survive in warm soil for weeks. They can also tolerate dryness and room temperature for as long as 6 months. Fungi, worms, bacteria, and viruses have been found to associate with or live in the same environment as "C. nivalis". Encapsulated rod-shaped gram-negative bacteria
