Option 1

 * Article title
 * Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article needs to be evaluated because it offers little information. Certain paragraphs, especially towards the end, are too brief and could use more attention. For example, the section titled "History" is only one sentence. The introduction paragraph obtains historical information that could be moved under history. This would also improve the lead paragraph by making it brief and straight to the point.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Lacticaseibacillus casei


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article needs to be evaluated because it's questionable. The lead paragraph is too brief and doesn't provide reliable information (no citation). The image used doesn't show the readers a good visual of the bacteria either. This could be improved by using reliable sources that give more information about the bacteria or includes a better image. Perhaps an image collected with a microscope or a closer view of the bacteria in the Petri dish. The article also uses journals that are almost two decades old. I'm certain more information about that bacteria has been discovered since then.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Lactiplantibacillus plantarum


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article was very well written. It would however benefit from a history section to relieve the introduction paragraph of some information. The lead paragraph should more brief. Including images in the article would help the reader gain a better understanding of the bacteria.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Lactobacillus acidophilus


 * Article Evaluation
 * Although this article is well written and provides reliable information, some the sources could be updated and more reliable information could be added to the existing sections.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Lactobacillus acidophilus


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article needs to be evaluated because it offers little information. The article would be strengthened if it included more reliable information and a history section.
