Cheese: A Home to Bacteria “Cheese is just a means of controlled spoilage‚” said Steve Jenkins‚ a Master Cheesemonger at Fairway Market. (Cheese) Bacteria‚ or starter cultures‚ control the flavor‚ hardness‚ type‚ and many more aspects of cheese. The two main strands of bacteria involved in cheese making are Lactococcus and Lactobacillus‚ which ferment sugars found in the milk. Humans have learned to manipulate bacteria and the fermentation process to produce different types of cheese such as Swiss

acid and thereby preserve it for sometime from getting spoilt or harboring disease. Microbes also change the milk’s texture and flavor in desirable ways. Milk has a lot of nutrients‚ but the most important and readily available energy source is ‘lactose’ a sugar found almost nowhere else in nature. The microbes in the milk feed on this sugar‚ hence break it down converting it to lactic acid. Lactic acid retards the growth of most other microbes. They also make antibacterial substances but their main

for different parts of the body. For example‚ Lactobacillus casei Shirota has been shown to support the immune system and to help food move through the gut‚ but Lactobacillus bulgaricus may help relieve symptoms of lactose intolerance‚ a condition in which people cannot digest the lactose found in most milk and dairy products. In general‚ not all probiotics are the same‚ and they don’t all work the same way. Scientists are still sorting out exactly how probiotics work. They may boost the immune

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS Effects on water The Organic Components The organic components of the wastewater from dairy processing operations can be classified as proteins‚ lactose and fat. These will affect the environment in different ways depending on their biodegradability and their solubility.

* The main (starter) cultures in yogurt are Lactobacillus bulgaricus andStreptococcus thermophilus. The function of the starter cultures is to ferment lactose (milk sugar) to produce lactic acid. The increase in lactic acid decreases pH and causes the milk to clot‚ or form the soft gel that is characteristic of yogurt. The fermentation of lactose also produces the flavor compounds that are characteristic of yogurt. Lactobacillus bulgaricus andStreptococcus thermophilus are the only 2 cultures required

The study of shelf life for liquid biofertilizer from vegetable waste showed that contrary to the traditional advice that liquid biofertilizers produced from fermentation by effective microorganisms‚ should be used within three months of production‚ the liquid biofertilizer produced from vegetable waste still contains high amount of viable microbial population after four months of storage with no significant effect of the presence or absence of light (Ngampimol and Kunathigan‚ 2008).

If some are lactose intolerant‚ there will often be lactose-free options or the cheeses can be kept on the side of a dish.

transcription can occur. The repressor depends on the effector‚ which allows it to bind to the molecule. It can either activate or inactivate the repressor. The lac operon in bacterial cells gave the first clue that such a gene occurred in cells. When lactose is present‚ the first step in its metabolism is to produce a closely related sugar which binds to and inactivates the repressor‚ removing it from the operator. RNA polymerase can begin its movement along the DNA molecule‚ and transcribe the operon
