Close, IK. The malolactic fermentation is conducted using a lactic acid bacteria, not yeast. The bacteria converts the malic acid (as in green apple) to lactic acid. Only certain strains are used because some can metabolise sugars or tartaric acid and cause an excess of acetic acid - not a good thing, unless you're trying to make vinegar.
