Characterizing Relationship of Microbial Diversity and Metabolite in Sichuan Xiaoqu.

ABSTRACT: Xiaoqu is a fermentation starter used in the production of Xiaoqu jiu, which is also a traditional Chinese liquor. The quality and microbial community characteristics of Xiaoqu is closely related with the yield and flavor feature of fresh Xiaoqu jiu. The present study aims to explore the mystery behind microbial diversity and volatiles of Xiaoqu through polyphasic detection methods such as the Illumina MiSeq platform and the metabolite analyzing method. Results showed that differences in microbial community diversity among samples were significant. The hydrolytic ability was positively correlated with α- and β-diversity of bacteria, but negatively correlated with that of fungi. Staphylococcus and Weissella were the dominant bacteria, while <
