The intra-species diversity of Fructilactobacillus (F.) sanfranciscensis and the interaction with the sourdough yeasts Kazachstania (K.) humilis and Saccharomyces (S.) cerevisiae was investigated. To explore the mechanism behind the strain-specific differences in dominance in the sourdough the behavior in competitive fermentations was compared to genome-phenotype associations of F. sanfranciscensis. The study reveals that commensal and competitive relationships to K. humilis or S. cerevisiae, respectively, strongly depend from strain-specific differences in the carbohydrate metabolism and utilization of external electron acceptors.      «
