Mapping bacterial microbiota variations in raw milk: geographic and type-specific insights.

ABSTRACT: Milk harbors a diverse array of microorganisms; however, the current understanding of the microbial diversity in raw milk from specific geographical origins and milk types remains unclear. To address this knowledge gap, this study employed single-molecule real-time sequencing to analyze the differences in microbial communities across various farms and milk types from different regions, specifically by examining the microbial diversity in Holstein cow milk samples from farms situated in both adjacent and distant regions, and comparing the microbial diversity between Holstein cow milk and non-bovine milk from farms in adjacent regions. The results demonstrated that several genera, such as Lactiplantibacillus, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Chryseobacterium, exhib
