Possible origins of kombucha in spontaneous fermentation

2025-07-17

Abstract excerpt

Although the microbial composition and functional attributes of kombucha have been extensively studied, the origins and mechanisms of the formation of their biofilm (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeasts, or SCOBY) remain speculative. Based on historical reports and the concept of community coalescence, this study establishes a proof-of-concept, demonstrating how a kombucha-like biofilm can form spontaneously f...
