Ten Lactobacillus acidophilus rounded-end rods appear in seven groupings: four singles, two touching end-to-end pairs, and one loose parallel two-rod arrangement.
Species representative reconstruction Editorially reviewed

Type-strain-anchored Lactobacillus acidophilus rods, shown as ten bodies in four single, two touching-pair, and one loose two-rod grouping. This species-level reconstruction is representative, non-diagnostic, not a micrograph, and makes no probiotic-performance claim.
