sourdough

yeast colony

Bacterial colony, no?

Also, you kill only half of them each time. For the sourdough starter, it's like a Thanos-snap coin-flip everytime you bake bread. The bacteria in your current sourdough starter come from a long line of statistically lucky ancestors.

I suppose that's kind of true for all of us, though...

Bacterial colony, no?

It's both yeast and bacteria.
