Deciphering Succession and Assembly Patterns of Microbial Communities in a Two-Stage Solid-State Fermentation System.

ABSTRACT: Although the importance of microbiota in the natural environment and in industrial production has been widely recognized, little is known about the formation and succession patterns of the microbial community, particularly secondary succession after disturbance. Here, we choose the Xiaoqu liquor brewing process as an experimental model in which sorghum grains were first aerobically saccharified and then anaerobically fermented after being stirred and acidified to explore multistage community succession patterns. We analyzed microbial composition, physicochemical factors, and metabolites of brewing grains inoculated with two different starters, pure starter and traditional starter, respectively. Two groups showed similar succession patterns where the saccharification microbiota was m
