Lacking tobacillus Bulgaricus
And
Streptococcus
Thermophilus
The species of bacteria used in yogurt are Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus. These species eat the sugars in milk. As the bacteria eat milk sugars, the bacteria produce something called lactic acid. Lactic acid makes milk proteins curdle. Thanks to the bacteria, the milk becomes thick yogurt. The lactic acid also gives yogurt a tart, tangy flavor.
