Welcome to the second post in our series about brewing microbiology called #cellfies. In these posts we talk about an organism used in the making of our favorite beverage while looking at it through a microscope.
Today we are talking about the bacterial genus Lactobacillus.
The drop in pH represents an increase in acid concentration in the solution. The increase in acid was due to the production of the lactic acid from the fermentation of sugars.
The species in the photo below is Lactobacillus brevis,
which is one of the Lactobacillus species that can make alcohol as well as Lactic acid under the right conditions.

Welcome to a new series of posts called #cellfies. We will post photos of a fermentative organism taken under a microscope.
We start this series with one of the workhorses of brewing, Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
healthy living cells. The random shaped blue blobs are dye artifacts, not cells. If two cells are touching, they might be a mother and daughter cell. This yeast reproduces through budding where a smaller cell is pinched off of the mother cell.
Cells are counted using slides prior to pitching to ensure a sufficient number are added to the wort to achieve proper fermentation.
