the female reproductive organs. Some of 

these bacteria are used as probiotics,

The Love ToothBrush Patent  #D363,820  November 7, 1995.



In the family Peptococcaceae,  we find the 

gram-positive Peptococcus niger. The 

species is part of the natural flora and 

microbiome of the mouth, large intestines,

of food and saliva, we feed Peptococcus niger 

to further parts down the alimentary tract.
