That really depends on what it takes to scale that up to industrial levels. Wheat currently is capable of growing in dirt under the open sky, if this process requires temperature controlled sealed tanks that have to be kept in sterile conditions, this is not a viable solution.

Often bacteria cultures are very tolerant of less than sterile conditions. Yogurt, kombucha, kimchi, sauerkraut, miso, etc.

It isn't so much the culture dying that'd be the issue so much as something else, like say regular old normal yeast that is found pretty much everywhere, making itself at home and spoiling the batch.
