People use bacteria to create cheese and yogurt from milk.Acidophilus is used in yogurt. Rennet is used to separate milksolids{curds } from liquid{whey] Then the curds are combed and pressed together to form cheese. Some have bacteria added for flavors and textures, some are just aged and bacteria occur naturally. Some wheels of cheese are dipped in wax and some are allowed to develop natural rinds by hardening or even allowing mold to grow on them,like Roquefort,Stilton or Bleu. Some are only considered ready to eat or "ripe" when completely moldy on the outside and soft, even runny on the inside.

Which bacteria is spread over food if you cough over it?

If you cough over food, bacteria from your respiratory tract can be spread onto the food. This can potentially transfer harmful bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes, which can cause foodborne illnesses if consumed. It is important to practice good respiratory hygiene, such as covering your mouth when coughing, to prevent the spread of bacteria onto food.


How can osmosis preserve food?

by packing food with a lot of salt, osmosis is being used to keep bacteria out of the food. If bacteria land on food with a high salt content, then the salt will suck moisture out of the bacteria via osmosis and the bacteria will die. This is not true for halophiles (bacteria that tend to enjoy being in high salt content), but it is true for many bacteria. This is why, before a good understanding of micro-organisms was developed, people noticed that food could be preserved with salt and this was known as "curing" the food.


What is the most popular means by which bacteria obtain food?

The most popular means by which bacteria obtain food is through absorption. Bacteria release enzymes that break down organic matter around them, allowing them to absorb the resulting nutrients directly into their cells.

How does tinning food kill bacteria?

Tinning food involves sealing it in a can and then heating it to a high temperature to kill bacteria. The heat destroys the bacteria by denaturing proteins and damaging cell structures, preventing them from growing and spoiling the food. Additionally, the sealed can prevents new bacteria from entering and contaminating the food.
