Many fungi and microorganisms have been domesticated by humans for use in food production, medicine, and research. The following is a list of domesticated fungi and microorganisms:
Organism Use Agaricus bisporus Eaten; "Button mushroom" or "portabello mushroom".[1] Aspergillus oryzae Fermentation of traditional Japanese foods and beverages.[2] bacteria (for cheese , yogurt , kephir , buttermilk , sour cream , kombucha tea, spirulina ) Lactic acid bacteria Fermentation of dairy, plants, and meats.[3] Lactobacillus delbrueckii Production of yogurt (Bulgaria).[3] Lactococcus casei Production of cheese (with a fruity flavor).[3] Lactococcus helveticus Production of cheese, including swiss cheese .[3] Lactococcus lactis Production of cheese.[3] Leuconostoc mesenteroides Fermentation of sauerkraut .[3] Moulds (for making cheese , tempeh , Quorn , Pu-erh and some sausages ) Edible mushrooms Food Oenococcus oeni Involved in wine fermentation.[3] Saccharomyces cerevisiae Fermentation of beer and wine; leavening of bread.[4] Streptococcus thermophilus Production of yogurt (France, United Kingdom).[3] Yeasts Baking, winemaking, brewing Ustilago maydis Huitlacoche
