7cfu/ml levels. Some microbiological properties of this cheese samples were investigated during ripening periods of 2, 15, 30 and 60 days. As a result, at beginning of the ripening period, the yeast-mould and coliform bacteria counts of all Beyaz cheese samples were higher than the standard values but the counts decreased during ripening period and reached standard values. It was determined that lactic acid bacteria counts (MRS agar) of probiotic cheese samples were lower than the control cheese. While the lactic acid bacteria counts growth on M17 agar of the cheese samples produced with C culture were the highest, the lactic acid bacteria counts of cheese produced with E culture were determined as the lowest. In addition, the probiotic bacteria counts of experimental cheeses decreased during the ripening period. The number of Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 in cheese C showed a decrease of 3 logarithmic units at the end of the ripening period.
