Integrated Multi-Omics Analysis Reveals Microbial Community Restructuring and its Role in Key Carbohydrate Metabolic Pathways During Tobacco Leaf Curing.

ABSTRACT: Microorganisms play a significant role in improving the flavor and quality of plant products. Analyzing how tobacco processing affects the microbial community structure is essential. Understanding the synergistic mechanisms of microorganisms during this process can help optimize the flavor and quality of plant products. In this study, samples were collected from four processing stages (T1: fresh leaves, T2: 42 °C, T3: 54 °C, T4: 68 °C), and metabolite and Phylloplane microbial data of tobacco leaves were generated. A comprehensive multi-omics analysis was conducted. The study shows that the increase in temperature and the decrease in humidity during the processing lead to the reorganization of the microbial community. Brevibacterium, Staphylococcus, Aspergillus, and Ganoderma were identifi
