The powerful #bacteria behind sourdough bread. Sourdough bread, made with a traditional starter of #yeast and bacteria, is a staple in many cultures around the world. But did you know that the real stars of the show are the bacteria? Analysis of #sourdough microbiomes from diverse regions has shown that lactic acid bacteria play a major role in developing the unique characteristics of sourdough-fermented foods. In fact, the Lactobacillus genus alone contains over 260 species, with more than 60 found in sourdough starters globally. One particular Lactobacillus strain has even gained "rock star" status among researchers, who are continuously exploring the functional capabilities of this dominant microorganism in many sourdough cultures. The power of bacteria extends far beyond bread, they are invaluable in a wide range of applications.
