Question

The bacteria which can be seen in the buttermilk is

• A. Lactobacillus
• B. Clostridium
• C. Rhizobium
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Lactobacillus

Buttermilk is a dairy drink. Originally, buttermilk was the liquid left behind after churning butter out of cultured cream. This type of buttermilk is now specifically referred to as traditional buttermilk and the fermented dairy product is known as cultured buttermilk. This produced from cow's milk and has a characteristically intense sour taste caused by lactic acid bacteria. This variant is made using one of two species of bacteria—either Lactococcus lactis or Lactobacillus bulgaricus, which creates more tartness.

So, the correct option is " Lactobacillus".
