  • Fermentation is the main method in many microbial industries.
  • Milk products are made mainly for preservation and improved flavour.
  • Pasteurization destroys unwanted microbes before fermentation.
  • Lactic acid coagulates milk proteins.
  • Yoghurt is made using Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii.
