Local domestication of microbes via cassava beer fermentation

2014-02-02

Abstract excerpt

Cassava beer, or chicha , is typically consumed daily by the indigenous Shuar people of the Ecuadorian Amazon. This traditional beverage made from cassava tuber ( Manihot esculenta ) improves nutritional quality and flavor while extending shelf life in a tropical climate. Bacteria responsible for chicha fermentation could be a source of microbes beneficial to human health, but little is known regarding the micr...
