Multi-omics analyses of the mechanism for the formation of soy sauce-like and soybean flavor in Bacillus subtilis BJ3-2.

ABSTRACT: Although soy sauce-like flavor and soybean flavor are two key contributors to the flavor of fermented foods, the key compounds of soy sauce-like flavor and soybean flavor and production mechanisms are still poorly understood and need further investigation. In the present study, we found that the Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) BJ3-2 strain has various metabolic properties at different temperatures, and the strain cultured at 37℃ increased the soybean flavor (a special flavor of ammonia-containing smelly distinct from natto) compared with culturing at 45℃ and 53℃. Interestingly, the strain cultured at 45℃ and 53℃ had a higher soy sauce-like flavor than that in 37℃. Moreover, a comparative transcriptome analysis of the strain cultured at 37℃, 45℃, and 53℃ showed transcriptional changes relat
