Abstract in brief

  • The study used genetic and microbial analysis techniques to track how bacterial communities develop and change in rye and wheat sourdough over 5-10 days, showing that the sourdoughs become more mature and stable over time.
  • Initially, flour samples are mainly contaminated with various bacteria from different genera, but as fermentation progresses, beneficial bacteria like lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus, Weissella) dominate and persist, especially in rye flour.
  • Yeasts like Saccharomyces cerevisiae consistently dominate the sourdoughs, while the bacterial populations fluctuate but tend to stabilize, illustrating the complex microbial succession involved in sourdough fermentation.
