Bee Bacteria Could Fix a Major Flaw in Plant-Based Milk

Researchers at DTU developed a microdroplet-based screening method to rapidly test bumblebee gut microbes.

They identified a bumblebee-derived Lactococcus lactis strain that can ferment soy drinks while boosting vitamin B2 levels.

The approach could speed up discovery of food microbes that improve both fermentation and nutrition in plant-based dairy alternatives.
