Microbes in Household Products Part I PDF

Microbes play an important role in both helping and harming humans. They are used to produce common food and household products. For example, the milk is fermented by Lactobacillus bacteria overnight to produce curd. Microbes are also used to make yogurt and cheese. Different bacteria and molds are used to produce specific types of cheese and impart unique flavors. While microbes can cause disease, they are essential to the production of many foods we consume daily.
