Hi all Backers - unfortunatly this project didn't get traction. I really appreciate all of you who back this neat little experiment. I hope with future funding we will see the project come to fruition. I would love to eventually have some hands on science for my undergraduate researchers.
I want to document the species of microbes (microbiome) in sourdough starters, and quantify how they change depending on the nutrients they are given to grow. I intent to grow culture with nutrients such as: white flour, rye flour, potato starch, sucrose, honey, and high fructose corn syrup; and then monitor any changes to the microbial community in the sourdough starters.
