  "summary": "Romanian bors, a traditional fermented wheat bran beverage, is produced through spontaneous fermentation and represents a complex microbial ecosystem. Despite its cultural importance and presumed health benefits, its microbial ecology and functional potential remain poorly characterized. The present study aimed to elucidate the microbial community structure of bors and link it to functional…",
