List of microorganisms found in sourdough

Sourdough is a mixture of flour and water inhabited by a symbiosis of Lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. It is used in baking to leaven and acidify bread.

## Yeasts

[edit]

* Candida humilis[1] (formerly C. milleri)
* Candida krusei[1]
* Kazachstania exigua[2]
* Pichia saitoi[1]
* Saccharomyces cerevisiae[1]
* Torulopsis holmii[1]
