Bacterial metagenome profiling of hand-made herby cheese samples utilizing high-throughput sequencing to detect geographical indication and marketing potential.

ABSTRACT: Food safety has been a major concern for consumers. Origin of food products matter for consumers such that the quality, reputation, or other special characteristics can be attributed essentially to that origin. While a geographical indication informs consumers for the origin of the product, it develops a competitive advantage for the markets. To detect distinguishing features of dairy products, the microbial composition of its microbiota is one of the emerging areas of interest. Utilizing novel approaches such as Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to decipher the genetic code of 16s rRNA genes to characterize the bacterial population is widely applied. The bacterial microbiota of the herby cheese samples which were collected from Şırnak province in the South Eastern region of Turk
