AB  - The objectives of this study, were to investigate the effects of different content of yogurt starter/probiotic bacteria, storage time and different concentration of cysteine on the microflora characteristics of bio-yogurt. The number of <I>S. thermophilus</I> and <I>L. delbrueckii</I> subsp. <I>Bulgaricus</I> were found to be higher in the samples with higher levels of starter. The numbers of <I>L. acidophilus</I> and <I>B. bifidum</I> were found to be higher in the samples with higher levels of added probiotic bacteria. The counts of <I>S. thermophilus</I> increased slowly during storage up to day 7 and decreased later <I>L. delbrueckii</I> subsp. <I>Bulgaricus</I>, <I>B. bifidum</I> and <I>L. acidophilus</I> counts, decreased during the storage period. Increasing of cysteine improved the viability of <I> B. bifidum</I> and <I> L. delbrueckii</I> subsp. <I> Bulgaricus</I> and it had no important effect on the viability of <I>L. acidophilus</I> and made the environment unfavourable for the growth of <I>S. thermophilus</I>.
