Integration of metataxonomic data sets into microbial association networks highlights shared bacterial community dynamics in fermented vegetables.

ABSTRACT: The management of food fermentation is still largely based on empirical knowledge, as the dynamics of microbial communities and the underlying metabolic networks that produce safe and nutritious products remain beyond our understanding. Although these closed ecosystems contain relatively few taxa, they have not yet been thoroughly characterized with respect to how their microbial communities interact and dynamically evolve. However, with the increased availability of metataxonomic data sets on different fermented vegetables, it is now possible to gain a comprehensive understanding of the microbial relationships that structure plant fermentation. In this study, we applied a network-based approach to the integration of public metataxonomic 16S data sets targeting different fermented vegetabl
