Microbial community assembly patterns at the species level in different parts of the medium temperature Daqu during fermentation.

ABSTRACT: Medium-temperature Daqu (MT-Daqu) serves as a crucial saccharifying and fermentation agent in the production of strong-flavor Baijiu. Due to the spatial heterogeneity of solid fermentation, significant differences occurred in the fermentation state and appearance features in different parts of Daqu during fermentation. Currently, the understanding of the underlying mechanism behind this phenomenon remains limited. Here, we analyzed the microbial succession and assembly models and driving factors in different parts of MT-Daqu at the species level based on the PacBio single-molecule real-time sequencing technology. The results showed significantly different bacterial and fungal community compositions, successions, and interaction patterns in different parts of MT-Daqu. The bacterial communit
