Looks exactly what we see in our sauergut...lactobacillus.
This is what came to my mind, but with a closer look it seems that the shape of these cells seems more like cocci, (like grapes). Does that make any sense?
I believe that lactobacilus is more rod shaped
A fellow brewer said that these are proteins.

We'll try the stain method and see.
I'll keep you updated! Thanks again

If there are rods and cocci in a cultured color-changed media, you can't really assume you have only lacto, only pedio, or both. Could be lacto with cocci non beer spoilers, pedio with rod non beer spoilers, or both lacto and pedio. I haven't used liquid culture other than NBB-PCR for enrichment, so there may be something I'm missing. As the other poster suggested, a gram stain and/or PCR would be the only way to confirm at this point.
Although from a personal opinion, at 40x those longer things look too large to be rods. Maybe mold?
