Kombucha Strains
Key Achievements:
- Successfully isolated microbes from various samples of kombucha
- Identified strains of bacteria and yeast using rRNA gene sequencing
- Characterized each of the isolated microbes to facilitate further experimentation
Recapitulation
- Kombucha is not possible without the microbe Ga. hansenii.
- Multiple yeast are necessary, and while, our essential yeast were both Fermentati, these were different species strains.
- With the proper essential microbes, kombucha can be put back together from individual microbes.
