How Microbiome Composition Correlates with Biochemical Changes during Sauerkraut Fermentation: a Focus on Neglected Bacterial Players and Functionalities.

ABSTRACT: This study provided a new perspective on the bacterial community succession during sauerkraut fermentation, and on resulting metabolic functions. While culture-dependent methods confirmed the key role of the well-known core microbiome species, metagenomic approach (shotgun) revealed Secundilactobacillus malefermentans as a species of the core microbiome, especially during the last weeks of fermentation. Although the potentiality of S. malefermentans has not yet fully explored, it held core functional genes usually attributed to others lactic acid bacteria driving sauerkraut fermentation. Based on our results it is arguable that S. malefermentans might have a key a role during sauerkraut fermentation carried out at low temperature. Under our experimental conditions, the
