The function of the *Lactobacillus bulgaricus* and *Streptococcus thermophilus*  cultures is to ferment lactose to produce lactic acid. The increase in lactic acid decreases pH and causes the milk to clot, or form the soft gel that is characteristic of yogurt. 

In lactose-free milk, all the lactose was transformed in glucose and galactose using lactase. Is it possible for those bacteria to ferment glucose and galactose instead of lactose? Or is this based on other biological reactions?
