| [https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1770814702946736/ Overview of a study that showed that 100% ''Brettanomyces'' fermentation had more phenol production than when it was co-fermented with the EC1118 wine strain (maybe due to EC1118 being HCDC+), as well as the gene expression difference in EC1118 when co-fermented with ''B. bruxellensis'' which made it compete harder for oxygen, and slightly increased the ''Brettanomyces'' growth rate in the presence of EC1118.
