Abstract:

The main goal is to assess to what extent the microbial culture of the kombucha liquid is affected by the SCOBY. This is done by the brewing of homemade kombucha. Using the results of this assessment the next steps would be to analyze the bacteria not found in the SCOBY but was found in the microbial culture of the kombucha liquid and examine how they contribute to the overall kombucha drink.
