Curation

What a curator decided about this record, and why. A record built from several source concepts can carry one decision per concept.

GROUND 2026-09-06 · codex-gpt-5
Grounded to ENVO:03600040 'fermentation starter' (EXACT). BacDive's Starter-culture isolation-source category denotes microbial inocula for food and alcoholic-drink fermentations; the committed starter-culture report verified BacDive pitching-yeast strains and lactic-acid-bacteria starters, and ENVO:03600040 'fermentation starter' is already in the slice for GOLD's Engineered > Food production > Fermentation starter source. FOODON:03544454 remains a false food-classification target, but the newer ENVO term names the sampled starter material. Path: Starter-culture (source concept habitatmech:BACDIVE.9eabedc3a1)
