In this review epiphitic microflora of barley and malt and its possible negative and positive effects on quality of malts and beers is described. Also, the latest data on the use of starter cultures of lactic acid bacteria and Geotrichum candidum in malting process are presented. As a result repression of the growth of accompanying flora, in particular of toxigenic species of molds, and reduction of contamination with mycotoxins could be achieved.
