Y-axis for each microbe group depicts relative activity which combines in a conceptual sense: growth, attenuation , and production of flavor compounds. Plot was drawn by Drew Wham based on concepts discussed in American Sour Beer <ref> Tonsmeire, M. (2014). American Sour Beers. Brewers Publications </ref> ]]

More recent data suggests that POF+ strains of ''Saccharomyces'' are not necessary for ''Brettanomyces'' to create phenols because ''Brettanomyces'' can create the precursor 4-vinyl phenols on its own as long as ferulic acid and other grain derived percursors precursors are available <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1585065488188326/?comment_id=1585068344854707&reply_comment_id=1585072311520977&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R3%22%7D Conversation with Richard Preiss on MTF. 02/16/2017.]</ref>.
