It would be perfect if it is aerobic since I have not access to equipment to work in anaerobic condition.
I found Lactobacillus Acidophilus usable for this purpose, but I had problem with the culture maybe because of the aerobic environment.
Thank you very much in advance for the help.
What about Bacillus thuringiensis? It is a BSL1 Gram-positive aerobic spore forming rod (see link to opbw-list). It has been reported as being vanco-susceptible (see second link). However, if working with spore forming bacteria, contamination is always an issue.

Thank you very much for your very useful answer. About the contamination issue, you mean that since the bacteria can form spores, it can contaminate the working area, do you? Thanks again.
Yes, if working with spore forming bacteria there is a risk of contamination of the working area, at least, if you have older cultures around (under optimal growth conditions, Bacillus may not form spores).
You may find many coagulase neg staphylococci which can be cultured in SB1 lab. You can also used without any problem Lactococcus sp.
