How are bacteria and fungi used to make foods that we eat?

Yogurt and cheese - Lactobacillus is the bacteria that is used for these.





Bread, wine/beer - Fungi in the form of yeast are used for these.





Yeast feeds off the sugars that are around and generate carbon dioxide which creates the bubbles that helps bread rise. It ferments the sugars to help make wine and beer.





Bacteria is helped used to process certain foods to alter the way they are - like from milk to yogurt or cheese. The presence of this bacteria helps prevent other bacteria from forming, thus helping to preserve milk by making cheese for example.
