Correlations Between the Bacterial and Fungal Flora and Amino Acid Composition of the Zhuangzu Acid Congee Produced Around the Zuojiang River Basin, Guangxi.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the bacterial, fungal, and amino acid compositions of the Zhuangzu acid congee (ZAC) along the Zuojiang River of Guangxi were analyzed. A total of 14 samples of ZAC were collected in four regions: Fusui (F), Ningming (N), Xiashi (X), and Suxu (S). The predominant bacterial phyla of the four groups were Firmicutes and Proteobacteria. The dominant bacterial genera were Lactobacillus, Bacillus, Schleiferitobacillus, and Acetobacter. The fungal alpha diversity in Group S was significantly lower than that in Groups F, X, and N. PCoA clearly distinguished Group S from Groups F, X, and N. The dominant fungal phylum in Group S was Ascomycota (89.12%), whereas those in Groups F, X, and N were Basidiomycota (38.07%), Ascomycota (30.65%), and Fungi (17.39%).
