In January 2013 the Yoba mission continues with a novel yoba dairy formula containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus yoba 2012! After isolation of the yoba bacterium from a dairy product, followed by a detailed genetic characterization, we succeeded in the production of billions of yoba bacteria at a producer of starter cultures in the Netherlands.
After production, yoba was frozen in liquid nitrogen, dried under vacuum and the resulting bacterial powder was shipped in my suitcase and will revive again for yoghurt production in Uganda the coming weeks!
Curious to see what the near future will bring!!!
