The microorganism responsible for fermenting sauerkraut is a lactic acid bacteria called Lactobacillus. These bacteria convert sugars in the cabbage into lactic acid, which gives sauerkraut its tangy flavor and helps preserve it.
Refer to the instructions at the National Center for Home Food Processing and Preservation (NCHFP) website. The website has detailed instructions and a recipe for sauerkraut (look under the heading of "Fermenting" on the left side of the site.
Fermentation is not cooking. Fermenting is allowing good bacteria to create acids that helps to preserve the food. For instance, cabbage is fermented to make sauerkraut. No cooking is involved.
Microbial flora, specifically lactic acid bacteria, play a key role in the production of sauerkraut by fermenting the sugars in the cabbage to produce lactic acid. This acid creates the characteristic tangy flavor of sauerkraut and also helps preserve the cabbage by creating an acidic environment that inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria.
No yeast, is the fermenting agent used to make beer.
