This study was conducted to detect the presence of rope-producing Bacillus spp. and the rope spore counts in one hundred samples of different types of bread obtained from several bakeries and supermarket stores in Bursa province and to identify the isolates at the species level. Rope spore counts determined using the Most Probable Number (MPN) technique varied between 30 and 90 MPN/g in eight s...

The starter sponge, or inoculum, used in the production of San Francisco sourdough French bread contains a unique heterofermentative Lactobacillus species that was first isolated by Kline and Sugihara (4). Based on the exacting nutritional requirements and genetic composition of this organism, these authors proposed the new species name Lactobacillus sanfrancisco for the sourdough bacterium. Su...

Interspecific hybrids are commonplace in agriculture and horticulture; bread wheat and grapefruit are but two examples. The benefits derived from interspecific hybridisation include the potential of generating advantageous transgressive phenotypes. This paper describes the generation of a new breed of wine yeast by interspecific hybridisation between a commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine y...
