Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are crucial for the production of cheese, as they ferment lactose into lactic acid, which lowers the pH of the milk and coagulates the milk proteins. Propionibacterium is also important for certain types of cheese, such as Swiss cheese, as it produces carbon dioxide gas, creating the characteristic holes in the cheese. Clostridium acetylbutylicum and Desulfovibrio are not typically used in cheese-making.
