Question #1
The conversion of milk to curd is primarily caused by which microorganism?
A. Lactobacillus
B. Saccharomyces cerevisiae
C. Aspergillus niger
D. Penicillium notatum

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The conversion of milk to curd (yogurt) is a fermentation process primarily caused by lactic acid bacteria (LAB), such as Lactobacillus. These bacteria ferment the lactose (milk sugar) into lactic acid. The lactic acid lowers the pH, causing the milk protein (casein) to coagulate and solidify, forming curd. It also improves the nutritional value by producing Vitamin B12.
