Describe how microbes are used in the cheese making process? 

It is important to use high quality milk. This is usually pasteurised for safety reasons. A mixed starter culture of lactic acid bacteria such as special types of Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, and Streptococcus is added to start the fermentation.

The bacteria convert the milk's lactose to lactic acid.

Curdled milk. Rennet is added to the ripe milk. It contains the enzyme chymosin which causes the casein to coagulate, trapping moisture and fat globules. This solid yet soft gel is called the cheese curd. Rennet used to be extracted from calves’ stomachs but now chymosin is often used which is produced by fungi commercially – another example of a microbial food ingredient. The timing and amount of enzyme added differs according to the type of cheese
