Plant species and field site shape root endosphere microbiomes of wild inoculum plants used in traditional cereal‐based fermentation
Societal Impact Statement Traditional fermented foods worldwide depend on naturally occurring microbes, yet the environmental sources shaping these microbes and their effects on food quality remain poorly understood. We investigated bacteria living inside the roots of wild plants used to produce Munkoyo, a widely consumed nonalcoholic fermented cereal beverage in Zambia, to determine how plant species and local growing conditions influence these …
Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics in Microbial Communities from Spontaneous Fermented Foods
Eco-evolutionary forces are the key drivers of ecosystem biodiversity dynamics. This resulted in a large body of theory, which has partially been experimentally tested by mimicking evolutionary processes in the laboratory. In the first part of this perspective, we outline what model systems are used for experimental testing of eco-evolutionary processes, ranging from simple microbial combinations and, more recently, to complex natural communities…
Mutandabota , a Food Product from Zimbabwe: Processing, Composition, and Socioeconomic Aspects
We evaluated processing technology, composition, and socioeconomic significance of mutandabota, a food product made by mixing cow's or goat's milk with dry baobab fruit pulp. Mutandabota production is a gendered activity dominated by women. Nutrient content was (g 100 g(-1) w.b) protein 4.8 ± 1, fat 2.8 ± 0.9, fiber 1.1 ± 0.4, ash 0.9 ± 0.2, carbohydrates 20 ± 1.7, moisture 70.4 ± 3.7, and vitamin C 80 ± 25 mg/100g. Microbiological load (log cfu …
