Hi All, There was apparently some confusion (off list comments).. The RIRDC papers are available for free download of the PDF. Simply go to the site, and look for the PDF link. > > http://www.rirdc.gov.au/programs/established-rural-industries/honey-bee/rirdc-projects-&-results/project-details.cfm?project_id=PRJ-000571 > > Ditto for confusion on bacterial spores. Spores would not be expected to affect yeasts. However, bacterial spores can germinate quickly when placed in the right substrate, such as bread dough. It it the potential action of the vegetative bacteria that I was alluding to.
