The development of new starter cultures is a crucial task for the food industry to meet technological requirements and traditional products are important reservoirs for new starter cultures. In this respect, this study aimed to isolate, identify, and determine the technological characteristics of  Lactobacillus delbrueckii  subsp.  bulgaricus  and  Streptococcus thermophilus  strains originated from traditional yogurt samples. Genotypic discrimination of 200 isolates revealed the presence of distinct 19  S. thermophilus  and 11  Lb. delbrueckii  subsp.  bulgaricus  strains as potential starter cultures. Strain-specific properties determined the acidification capacity of the yogurt starter cultures and a higher acidification capacity was observed for  S. thermophilus  strains compared to  Lb. delbrueckii  subsp.  bulgaricus  strains. Proteolytic activity was found between 0.012–0.172 and 0.078–0.406 for  S. thermophilus  and  Lb. delbrueckii  subsp.  bulgaricus  strains, respectively. 4 of  S. thermophilus  and 3 of  Lb. delbrueckii  subsp.  bulgaricus  strains were found resistant to all tested bacteriophages. The antibiotic susceptibility tests of the isolates revealed that a very low antibiotic resistance was observed for the yogurt starter cultures. Finally, the growth kinetics of selected strains were determined and the maximum specific growth rate of selected  S. thermophilus  and  Lb. delbrueckii  subsp.  bulgaricus  was calculated as 0.527 h −1  and 0.589 h −1 , respectively.
