Answer 2

The coccus member of the yogurt-making pair is named as streptococcus Thermophiles and rod shaped member is named as Lactobacillus bulgaricus.  

EXPLANATION:

Streptococcus is a "lactic acid bacterium", widely used as starter in 'manufacturing dairy product' such as 'cheese' and 'yogurt'. It belongs to viridian group of a fermentative facultative anaerobe.

Lactobacillus bulgaricus is gram positive, non-motile bacteria used for the production of yogurt. Natural fermented products are obtained using this bacteria. Hence they act as probiotic in nature.
