Function-driven design of Bacillus kochii and Filobasidium magnum co-culture to improve quality of flue-cured tobacco.

ABSTRACT: Flue-cured tobacco (FCT) is an economical raw material whose quality affects the quality and cost of the derived product. However, the time-consuming and inefficient spontaneous aging is the primary process for improving the FCT quality in the industry. In this study, a function-driven co-culture with functional microorganisms was built in response to the quality-driven need for less irritation and more aroma in FCT. The previous study has found that Bacillus kochii SC could degrade starch and protein to reduce tobacco irritation and off-flavors. The Filobasidium magnum F7 with high lipoxygenase activity was screened out for degrading higher fatty acid esters and terpenoids to promote the aroma and flavor of FCT. Co-cultivation with strain SC and F7 obtained better quality im
