16 Aug 2023 ---DNA analysis has led scientists to find that the mozzarella cheese making process is dominated by Streptococcus and Lactobacillus species. The research aimed to understand the dynamics of the microbial pool involved in various cheesemaking steps by comparing data from two dairies. The team of researchers at Department of Food and Drug, University of Parma, Italy performed 16S rRNA amplicon gene sequencing on 19 intermediate samples of Mozzarella di Bufala Campana (MBC) production to evaluate their bacterial composition.
