The genus Lactobacillus includes 177 species (http://www.bacterio.net/lactobacillus.html): they are non-spore-forming, mostly nonmotile, and rod-shaped (although coccobacilli are observed). They generally have a fermentative metabolism (although genome sequence analysis has provided evidence of potential for respiration [ 1 ]) with lactic acid as the main fermentation product.
