Abstract:
Water kefir granules are supposed to mainly consist of dextrans produced by Lactobacillus (L.) hilgardii. Still, other microorganisms such as L. hordei, L. nagelii, Leuconostoc (Lc.) citreum and Saccharomyces (S.) cerevisiae are commonly isolated from water kefir granules, while their contribution to the granule formation remains unknown. We studied putative functions of these microbes in granule formation, upon development of a simplified model system containing hydrophilic object slides, which...     »
