Pozol is a Mexican beverage prepared from fermented nixtamalized maize dough. To contribute to understanding its complex microbial ecology, the effect of inoculating on MRS-starch pure and mixed cultures of amylolytic  Sii -25124 and non-amylolytic  W. confusa  17, isolated from pozol, were studied on their interactions and fermentation parameters. These were compared with  L. plantarum  A6, an amylolytic strain isolated from cassava. Microbial growth, kinetic parameters, amylolytic activity, lactic acid production, and hydrolysis products from starch fermentation were measured. The population dynamics were followed by qPCR.  L. plantarum  A6 showed higher enzymatic activity, lactic acid, biomass production, and kinetic parameters than pozol LAB in pure cultures. Mixed culture of each pozol LAB with  L. plantarum  A6 showed a significant decrease in amylolytic activity, lactic acid yield, specific growth rate, and specific rate of amylase production. The interaction between  Sii -25124 and  W. confusa  17 increased the global maximum specific growth rate (µ), the lactic acid yield from starch (Y lac/s),  lactic acid yield from biomass (Y lac/x ), and specific rate of lactic acid production (q lac ) by 15, 30, 30, and 40%, respectively, compared with the pure culture of  Sii -25124. Interactions between the two strains are essential for this fermentation.
