What about Brettanomyces which is also used in many beers either by itself, in conjunction with Saccharomyces, or in conjunction with other fermenters like lactobacillus and pediococcus (for sour beer styles like Lambics)?
- hackermom 16y agoI don't know anything about that genus of fungi. Is it as "versatile" as the Saccharomyces genus? (i.e., does it give us food and medicine as well?)
- camiller 16y agoThat is a good question. Since I've only just started exploring the possibility of using a Brett strain in a batch of beer (I have ordered a Brettanomyces Claussenii culture) I haven't really explored it's use in other areas. For what it's worth Yoghurt is produced by bacterial fermentation usually with Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, not by a Saccharomyces ferment.
