Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus Lactobacillus delbrueckii" subsp. "bulgaricus (until 2014 known as Lactobacillus bulgaricus) is the main bacteria used for the production of yogurt. It is also found in other naturally fermented products. First identified in 1905 by the Bulgarian doctor Stamen Grigorov, the bacterium feeds on lactose to produce lactic acid, which is used to preserve milk. "Lactobacillus delbrueckii" subsp. "bulgaricus" can be found naturally in the gastrointestinal tract of mammals living in Bulgaria, but one specific strain, "Lactobacillus bulgaricus" GLB44, is extracted from the leaves of the "Galanthus nivalis" (snowdrop flower) in Bulgaria as well. The bacterium is
Chlamydomonas nivalis begins and remain a cyst until the spring. This alga is an interesting organism for researchers in various fields to study due to its possible role in lowering global albedo, ability to survive in extreme environments, and production of commercially relevant compounds. Additionally, its life cycle is still being studied today in an effort to better understand this organism and amend previous classification errors. The name "Chlamydomonas nivalis" is of Latin origin. It translates to ‘found growing in or near snow’. The Latin meaning describes the organism well as this species of algae are only found associated with snow or
