| − | *Determined that the microbe <i>Ga. hansenii</i> is essential for the fermentation of kombucha.
| + | |
| − | *Determined that two distinct strains of the yeast <i>Lachancea fermentati</i> are necessary for the fermentation of kombucha, including one that appears to produce high quantities of C02.
