Which bacteria are responsible for the formation of curd?
Correct answer: B. Lactobacillus acidophilus
- A. Lactic acid bacteria

- C. Lactobacillus aureus
- D. Bacillus radicicola
Explanation
Curd may contain a wide variety of bacteria like Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactococcus lactis, Lactococcus lactis cremoris, etc. These bacteria then carry out fermentation of lactose present in the milk to form lactic acid which lowers the pH and causes agglutination of milk proteins and hence curd formation.
