Best Answer

A bacteria called lactobacilus converts lactose into Lactic acid thus making it sour.

Lactic acid buildup due to bacterial activity causes the pH of the milk to drop. Once the pH drops below pH 4.6, the casein proteins coagulate and forms a curd.

The curdling is due to the milk becoming sour.

Yogurt is sour because it contains lactic acid which also gives it its distinctive taste. Yogurt is only sweet if sugar or artificial sweeteners are added.
