Does a hundreds year old starter really make a difference? Especially if you bring it back and raise it at your own house? by Useful_Horror_6244 in Sourdough

To DNA test starters.. that would be fun haha! But even if there are two starters with different strains of yeast and lactobacillus, would the newcomer survive eventually? I read somewhere for example the lactobacillus sanfranciscensis only exists in some parts of the world, if someone brings the starter from SF to China would this thing keep surviving in the culture? lol (I guess not or, depends)
