Detailed Solution

Propionibacterium shermanii is a type of bacteria that is involved in the production of Swiss cheese. During cheese production, Propionibacterium consumes lactic acid and produces carbon dioxide gas as a byproduct. The carbon dioxide forms bubbles in the cheese, which results in the formation of large holes, also known as "eyes."

Acetobacter is a type of bacteria that is involved in the production of vinegar, while Corynebacterium and Thermoacetobacter are types of bacteria that are found in the environment and in some animal microbiomes, but they are not commonly used in food production.
