Answer #1

Ans: lac+ bacteria like lactobacillus can ferment lactose present in the milk and form lactic acid.These bacteria are used to make fermented dairy products like cheese and yogurt. They are also used as probiotics. Although they can also cause souring of the raw milk.  Hence it will be useful to evaluate the number of lac+ colonies in the milk sample.
