Dear student, 
Please find below the solution to the asked query        

Two microbes (bacteria and yeast) used in food supplement:
  • Single cells protein (SCP) involves production of protein supplements by using only unicellular organisms like bacteria, yeasts. These are preferred to produce protein supplements due to their high growth rate and ability to grow on waste materials.
  • Lactobacillus is used in the production of yogurt and other fermented milk products.
