Abstract excerpt
Sourdoughs are maintained by back-slopping over long time periods. To determine strain-level persistence of bacteria, we characterized four sourdoughs from bakeries over a period of 3.3, 11.0, 18.0, and 19.0 years. One sourdough included isolates of Levilactobacillus spp. and Fructilactobacillus spp. that differed by fewer than 10 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the isolates obtained 3.3 years earlier...
