A review of sourdough starters: ecology, practices, and sensory quality with applications for baking and recommendations for future research
PEERJ, 5.
author keywords: Sourdough; Ecology; Artisanal; Baking; Sensory; Bread; Bacteria; Yeast; Fermentation
TL;DR:
This review highlights what is currently known about the microbial ecosystem of sourdough, methods of maintaining Sourdough (analogous to land management) on the path to bread production, and factors that influence the sensory qualities of the final baked product.

2021 journal article
Sugar‐seeking insects as a source of diverse bread‐making yeasts with enhanced attributes
Yeast, 39(1-2), 108–127.
author keywords: baking; bioprospecting; bread; Lachancea; non-conventional yeasts; Saccharomyces
MeSH headings : Animals; Bread; Fermentation; Insecta; Saccharomyces cerevisiae / genetics; Saccharomyces cerevisiae / metabolism; Sugars / metabolism; Yeasts
TL;DR:
The results suggest that non‐conventional yeasts have high potential for baking and, more generally, showcase the success of bioprospecting in insects for identifying yeasts relevant for industrial uses.

2021 journal article
The diversity and function of sourdough starter microbiomes
ELife, 10.
Contributors: E. Landis*, A. Oliverio *, E. McKenney n , L. Nichols n , N. Kfoury *, M. Biango-Daniels*, L. Shell n, n
MeSH headings : Acetic Acid / metabolism; Bacteria / metabolism; Bread / microbiology; Food Microbiology; Microbiota
TL;DR:
The extent of microbial diversity in an ancient fermented food across diverse cultural and geographic backgrounds is revealed and strong co-occurrence patterns observed in situ and recreated in vitro demonstrate that microbial interactions shape sourdough community structure.

2020 review
History and Domestication of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Bread Baking
[Review of ]. FRONTIERS IN GENETICS, 11.
author keywords: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker’ s yeast); bread; baking; domestication; industrial; yeast
TL;DR:
The history of bread that gave rise to modern commercial baking yeast, and the genetic and genomic changes that accompanied this are explored, and genetic and phenotypic variation that has been documented in baking strains and wild strains are illustrated.

Influences of Ingredients and Bakers on the Bacteria and Fungi in Sourdough Starters and Bread
MSPHERE, 5(1).
author keywords: Lactobacillus; Saccharomyces; skin microbiome; sourdough
MeSH headings : Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / metabolism; Bread / analysis; Bread / microbiology; Fermentation; Food Microbiology; Fungi / classification; Fungi / metabolism; Hand / microbiology; Humans; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Microbiota; Skin / microbiology; Taste
TL;DR:
This work characterized the fungi and bacteria associated with the starters, bakers’ hands, and ingredients using 16S and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and then measured dough acidity and bread flavor.

Azteca ants maintain unique microbiomes across functionally distinct nest chambers
author keywords: Azteca; Cecropia; microbiome; microbe; myrmecophyte
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / microbiology; Ants / physiology; Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Cecropia Plant; Fungi / classification; Fungi / isolation & purification; Microbiota; Reproduction
TL;DR:
The results show that ants influence microbial communities inside their nests similar to studies of human homes, and unlike humans, ants limit the bacteria in their nurseries and potentially prevent the build-up of insect-infecting pathogens.

Metagenomic analyses reveal previously unrecognized variation in the diets of sympatric Old World monkey species
PLOS ONE, 14(6).
MeSH headings : Animal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena; Animals; Arthropods / genetics; Cercopithecidae / classification; Cercopithecidae / physiology; DNA / analysis; Diet; Feces; Metagenomics; Species Specificity
TL;DR:
Results indicate that while overlap exists in the arthropod portion of their diets, 20–25% of taxa consumed are unique to each group, and suggest that variation in arthropid intake may help decrease dietary niche overlap and hence facilitate coexistence of closely-related primate species.

The ecology of insect–yeast relationships and its relevance to human industry
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 285(1875), 20172733.
Contributors: n, M. Epps*, T. Fukami *, R. Irwin n, J. Sheppard n, D. Sorger n, R. Dunn n
author keywords: diffuse mutualism; dispersal; Ascomycota
MeSH headings : Animals; Ascomycota / physiology; Biological Evolution; Ecosystem; Food Industry; Humans; Insecta / microbiology; Plant Nectar / metabolism; Symbiosis
TL;DR:
This work proposes a ‘dispersal–encounter hypothesis' whereby yeasts are dispersed by insects between ephemeral, spatially disparate sugar resources, and insects, in turn, obtain the benefits of an honest signal from yeasts for the sugar resources.

The emerging contribution of social wasps to grape rot disease ecology
PEERJ, 5.
author keywords: Sour rot; Aspergillus niger; Summer rot; Bunch rot; Hornet; Yeast; Acetic acid bacteria; Polistes dominula; Polymicrobial disease; Vitis vinifera
TL;DR:
The results indicate that paper wasps can facilitate sour rot diseases in the absence of other vectors and that the mechanism of this facilitation may include both increasing host susceptibility and transmitting these microbial communities to the grapes.

TL;DR:
S Settled dust samples were collected by citizen scientists from both inside and outside more than 700 homes across the United States, yielding the first continental‐scale estimates of arthropod diversity associated with the authors' residences.
