Greetings. This month's (Sept 2003) "Discover" magazine has an
article on "San Fran's Mighty Microbes", explaining the activity of
the bacteria in making sourdough. The article comments on the
specific type of bacteria, how it's spread, how it works, and a
hypothesis that the type of bacteria might vary from region to
region. And, for me, oddly enough, the fact that fur trappers used
sourdough to help tan animal hides!
