what is the role of bacteria in cheese production?

Answer 1

Certain bacteria is introduced to milk. What happens is that the bacteria eat up the lactose in the milk, and convert the milk into cheese. So basically, bacteria role in cheese production is everything- it's the things that actually make it cheese.

Answer 2

yeast produce zymase enzyme that could brake glucose into ethanol yogurt is produce via the fermentation procedure. bacteria acts on the sugar in milk (lactose) replacing it into lactic acid then curdles the milk protein. the acid provides a bitter style to yogurt. in cheese bacteria acts on the sugar in milk (lactose) to provide lactic which then coagulates the milk protein forming cheese. desire it helps =)

Answer 3

bacteria provide the flavor for cheeses.
Cheese is made by separating milk into its liquid and solid components (curds and whey). The solids (curds) are collected, dried, shaped, etc. and then certain strains of bacteria are added which produce certain compounds that give the curds flavor. Certain strains of fungi are also used for the same purpose.
