Trying something different with our #InstantPot #yogurt tonight. I got it started later than usual today, so the usual 9-hour fermentation was going to end after I've gone to bed. Just reset the timer for the 24- hour option, so it'll ferment through the night. Hopefully, we'll have some yummy yogurt in the morning.

Good night friends. Sleep well. ❤️

Ancient history had the goods on gut health! Yogurt was a lifeline in ancient times before it was a trend. Created by nomads and shaped by cultures across continents. Here’s the story of how fermentation helped humans survive. #FoodHistory #FoodCulture #Yogurt #AncientFood

From #yogurt to yield: Potential applications of #LacticAcidBacteria in plant production

by John R. Lamont, Olivia Wilkins, Margaret Bywater-Ekegärd, Donald L. Smith
Published August, 2017

Highlights
• Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been used for decades to improve plant growth.
• The plant - LAB relationship has yet to be fully characterized.
• LAB can serve as biofertilizers, biocontrols, biostimulants, and bioelicitors.

Abstract:
"Ferments containing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been used for decades in agricultural systems to improve soils, control disease and promote plant growth, however, the functional roles of LAB in the phytomicrobiome have yet to be discovered. An understanding of the symbiotic relationship between plants and LAB could be exploited to improve agricultural plant production.

"Scientific investigations to validate plant growth promoting properties of LAB are increasing in number and scope. LAB isolated from diverse sources have been shown to be effective biofertilizers, biocontrol agents, biostimulants. As biofertilizers, LAB can improve nutrient availability from compost and other organic material. In fermented food, LAB has served as an effective biocontrol agent; recently LAB have been shown to be effective in the control of a wide variety of fungal and bacterial phytopathogens. As biostimulants, LAB can directly promote plant growth or seed germination, as well as alleviating various abiotic stresses.

"In this review, we discuss the history and ecology of plants and LAB, appraise the available information on the use of LAB in improving plant production, and consider the limitations and potential new directions for the use of LAB in plant agriculture."

Wot I dunz (achieved) today:

1) Upgraded my #OS (Operating system)
2) Drank two lassis (no sugar or sweetener, just greek #yogurt and milk frothed together with a fork)
3) Made a great #egg foo yung for lunch
4) #Walked to the mostly deserted Springfield Park to check the wild plant life
5) Prepared for my death by not dying just yet.
6) Had a light supper of #wensleydale cheese on digestive biscuits
7) Learned that balancing on one leg can be combined with kicking #Nazis in the nuts
8) Must get my free #library up and running. Or just contribute to existing. Oh well 7 things is pretty good going for a Sunday...
