The reason being that this particular bacteria is most efficient in the bread sourdough environment and can do better than the other's. Also, interestingly - so far (if wrong, correction with reference, please) the only place the LB SF's have been found is in sourdoughs. How they get in there seems to be a mystery, but so are the fairies in Ireland taking bloody revenge on individuals harming their fairy bushes. If you get the results you like, what does it matter? To determine what's really growing, even getting an approximate count of the number of organisms involves microscopy, coloring of samples etc. You can always think that you have them because your bread comes out well and contribute to the widespread belief that one needs to have LB SF's to make good bread. Enjoy! Samartha -- remove -nospam from my email address, if there is one SD page is the http://samartha.net/SD/ |
