L. sporogenes (Bacillus coagulance) 
Contain a large number of viable lactobacilli that retain viability during preparation in pharmaceutical dosage forms and during storage before consumption. 
The spores are thermostable as against viable L. acidophilus cells which may not withstand spray drying. 
Survive in gastric secretions and bile of the upper digestive tract and reach the intestine safely. 
Settle in the digestive tract and produce enough lactic acid and other antagonistic substances to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
