Diversity and dynamics stability of bacterial community in traditional solid-state fermentation of Qishan vinegar

Qishan vinegar is a typical Chinese fermented cereal product that is prepared using traditional solid-state fermentation (SSF) techniques. The final qualities of the vinegar produced are closely related to the multiple bacteria present during SSF. In the present study, the dynamics of microbial communities and their abundance in Daqu and vinegar Pei were investigated by the combination of high throughput sequencing and quantitative PCR. Results showed that the Enterobacteriales members accounted for 94.7%, 94.6%, and 92.2% of total bacterial sequences in Daqu Q3, Q5, and Q10, respectively. Conversely, Lactobacillales and Rhodospirillales dominated during the acetic acid fermentation (AAF) stage, corresponding to the quantitative PCR results. Lactobacillus, Acetobacter, Weissella, Leuconostoc and Bacillus were the dominant and characteristic bacterial genera of Qishan vinegar during AAF process. Redundancy analysis suggested that Lactobacillales and Rhodospirillales had a positive correlation with humidity and acidity, respectively. These results confirmed that the bacterial community structure could be affected by physiochemical factors, which determined the unique bacterial composition at different fermentation stages and showed batch-to-batch consistency and stability. Therefore, the conformity of bacterial community succession with physiochemical parameters guaranteed the final quality of Qishan vinegar products. This study provided a scientific perspective for the uniformity and stability of Qishan vinegar, and might aid in controlling the manufacturing process.     

Characterization and comparison of microbial community of different typical Chinese liquor Daqus by PCR-DGGE

Aims: To identify and compare microbiota in Chinese liquor Daqu, which were produced in the different regions using different production process. Methods and Results: The DNA exacted from Daqu samples was used as a template for PCR with universal primers of 16S rRNA, 26S rRNA and 18S rRNA, respectively. The amplicons were analysed using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). It was observed that the bacterial DGGE profile indicated high diversity and predominance of lactic acid bacteria. The results showed that Saccharomycopsis fibuligera and Pichia anomal were dominant yeast species and that several non‐Saccharomyces yeasts including Hanseniaspora guilliermondii, Debaryomyces hansenii, Issatchenkia orientalis and Trichosporon asahii were also detected. As for fungal DGGE, Aspergillus oryzae and Absidia blakesleeana were the most common species amongst different samples. Based on the DGGE analysis, a few differences in community structure were found between Daqu samples. Conclusions: A variety of bacteria, yeast and moulds were identified in Daqu samples, in addition to the present knowledge obtained mainly through the traditional culture‐dependent methods. Moreover, production temperature played a more decisive role on the formation of micro‐organism composition in Daqu than geographical region. Significance and Impact of the Study: PCR–DGGE technique was used in this study to fully observe and asses all microbial community (including bacteria, yeast and mould) in Chinese liquor Daqu for the first time and proved to be effective in profiling Daqu microbial diversity.

【目的】解析中国传统豆瓣酱发酵过程中的微生物群落演替规律和理化代谢物质变化,探讨不同发酵阶段影响豆瓣酱风味的核心功能微生物。【方法】采用高通量测序解析豆瓣酱发酵过程中的微生物群落结构和演替,并跟踪检测发酵过程中的理化代谢物质,然后分析微生物群落和理化代谢物质变化之间的相关性,最后在体外分离核心微生物并对其功能特性进行验证。【结果】细菌和真菌群落结构在发酵前期显著变化,并在中后期逐渐趋于稳定。优势细菌主要是Staphylococcus、Bacillus和Weisiella,其中Staphylococcus在整个发酵过程中呈上升趋势,而Bacillus和Weisiella呈下降趋势。真菌群落结构较为简单且稳定,其中Aspergillus在整个发酵过程中的平均丰度占真菌总群落的97%以上,Zygosaccharomyces呈先上升后下降的趋势。相关性分析和体外功能验证表明,功能微生物(Aspergillus oryzae、Bacillus subtilis、Staphylococcus gallinarum、Weisiella confusa和Zygosaccharomyces rouxii)在不同发酵阶段发挥着不同的关键作用。【结论】在成曲和发酵前期Aspergillus oryzae、Bacillus subtilis分泌各种酶来降解大分子物质,Aspergillus oryzae、Staphylococcus gallinarum和Weisiella confusa导致了酱醅的酸化和氨基酸的生成,而耐盐的Zygosaccharomyces rouxii在发酵中后期对风味物质的形成起重要作用。     

Microorganisms in Daqu: a starter culture of Chinese Maotai-flavor liquor

Maotai-flavor liquor, a famous traditional Chinese drink, is distilled from fermented sorghum in the southern province of China. Moreover, it is of interest as one of the few examples of liquor distilled from the product of a fermentation using a wild microflora starter. Daqu is the starter of this fermentation process. Daqu is a mixture of two components: milled wheat and a complex microbial community. The composition and the effects of this microbial group are largely unknown. In this study, we have analysed the constituents of the microbial community and the development of microorganisms in the industrial Daqu preparation and ripening process. More than 200 colonies were isolated and characterized. The isolates were discriminated by phenotypic and conventional biochemical taxonomic methods. The results revealed the presence of bacteria, moulds and yeasts. Bacteria consist of Bacillus, Acetobacter, Lactobacillus, and Clostridium, among which Bacillus strains were found to be predominant. Moulds consisted of Aspergillus, Mucor, Rhizopus, Monascus and Trichoderma, and Aspergillus strains were found to be predominant in the six different biotypes. Yeasts comprised Saccharomyces, Hansenula, Candida, Pichia, and Torulaspora. The most frequently isolated yeasts belonged to the genus Saccharomyces. The microbial diversity shift showed that the microbial genera changed with increasing ripening time. Knowledge of the microbial diversity in Daqu provides a basis for microflora management and understanding of the role of microbes in the Daqu production process, and the contribution of Daqu performed as a starter culture to Maotai-flavor liquor.     

配糟对清香型白酒发酵中环境因子及微生物群落的影响

【背景】环境因子是影响微生物生长代谢的重要因素,解析半开放条件下酿造过程中环境因子对微生物群落演替的作用对于清香型白酒生产调控具有重要意义。配糟在白酒发酵过程中起着调节发酵速度的作用,其对微生物群落组成变化的影响尚不明确。【目的】揭示使用不同发酵周期配糟对清香型白酒发酵过程中环境因子及微生物群落演替的影响。【方法】采用PacBio测序平台和多元统计分析比较使用2种配糟酒醅中微生物群落结构组成,结合蒙特卡洛置换检验明确环境因子对微生物群落的影响。【结果】与使用正常发酵周期配糟酒醅相比,使用延长发酵周期配糟酒醅水分较低,而酸度、氨基酸态氮、总游离氨基酸、还原糖和残余淀粉较高;微生物多样性和丰富度分析发现,使用延长发酵周期配糟酒醅中细菌α多样性极显著高于使用正常发酵周期配糟酒醅(P<0.001),而真菌α多样性显著/极显著低于使用正常发酵周期配糟酒醅(P<0.05, P<0.001);通过组间差异性分析发现,细菌群落共产生28个差异指示种,而真菌群落共产生15个差异指示种;水分、酸度、氨基酸态氮、还原糖、残余淀粉和总游离氨基酸对微生物群落结构的影响显著(P<0.05)...     

基于DNA高通量测序分析生料酿醋过程中的真菌多样性

【目的】了解生料酿醋不同阶段的真菌群落结构及其变化规律,为生料酿醋工艺优化提供理论指导。【方法】从山西一家生料酿醋企业采集原料、麸曲、发酵缸醋醅、熏醋样、淋醋样等涉及生料酿醋各阶段的样品共51份,扩增真菌ITS1区序列并利用高通量测序技术分析真菌多样性。【结果】除5份样品未扩增成功外,在剩余46份样品中共检测到489个真菌OTU,以子囊菌为主(占88.3%)。原料、麸曲、发酵缸醋醅、熏醋样、淋醋样等不同组别间在真菌群落结构方面存在显著差异。原料和麸曲中的真菌物种丰富度最低,发酵缸醋醅的真菌物种丰富度最高,熏醋样和淋醋样中的真菌物种丰富度又有所降低。原料和麸曲中的优势真菌分别为酿酒酵母和黑曲霉,是发酵阶段真菌的重要来源,但发酵缸醋醅中也检测到大量可能来源于发酵室环境的真菌。发酵缸醋醅在不同发酵时期间也存在明显的真菌群落结构差异,并可据此划分成发酵前期(包括发酵第2–13天的样品)和发酵后期(包括发酵第17–46天的样品)。酿酒酵母和亮白曲霉的丰度在发酵前期显著高于发酵后期,而黑曲霉、一种小戴卫霉科真菌等的丰度在发酵后期显著高于发酵前期。【结论】生料酿醋的不同阶段和发酵缸醋醅发酵的不同时期,其真菌群落结构都存在明显差异。酿酒酵母和黑曲霉是发酵阶段的优势真菌。本研究为生料酿醋工艺优化提供了理论依据。     

Autochthonous fungi are central components in microbial community structure in raw fermented sausages

Raw meat sausage represents a unique ecological niche rich in nutrients for microbial consumption, making it particularly vulnerable to microbial spoilage. Starter cultures are applied to improve product stability and safety as well as flavour characteristics. However, the influence of starter cultures on microbial community assembly and succession throughout the fermentation process is largely unknown. In particular the effect on the fungal community has not yet been explored. We evaluate the microbiological status of four different raw meat sausages using high-throughput 16S rRNA gene and ITS2 gene sequencing. The objective was to study temporal changes of microbial composition during the fermentation process and to identify potential keystone species that play an important role within the microbial community. Our results suggest that fungi assigned to the species Debaryomyces hansenii and Alternaria alternata play a key role in microbial community dynamics during fermentation. In addition, bacteria related to the starter culture Lactobacillus sakei and the spoilage-associated genera Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas and Psychrobacter are central components of the microbial ecosystem in raw fermented sausages. Elucidating the exact role and interactions of these microorganisms has the potential to have direct impacts on the quality and safety of fermented foods.

细菌在豆酱发酵过程中起到非常重要的作用,并与豆酱的风味和质量密切相关,因此研究豆酱中细菌的多样性具有重要意义。以自然发酵的豆酱样品为研究对象,采用细菌16S rDNA的部分可变区的PCR-DGGE技术对自然发酵豆酱样品的细菌群落组成和优势菌群进行研究。结果表明,传统豆酱发酵过程细菌群体中既有原始种群的减少和增长,也有次级种群的增多和演变。在整个发酵过程中,初期和末期以不可培养细菌为主,初期细菌群体快速演替,细菌种群多样性指数在发酵42 d和56 d达到两次高峰。     

Microbial Diversity and Succession in the Chinese Luzhou-Flavor Liquor Fermenting Cover Lees as Evaluated by SSU rRNA Profiles

The microbial diversity and the community succession in the fermenting cover lees of Chinese Luzhou-flavor liquor were investigated by small-subunit rRNA (SSU rRNA) culture independent method. All sequences retrieved from the 1, 7 and 60 days fermented cover lees were respectively assigned into the genera of Streptococcus, Acetobacter, Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Serratia, Nocardia, Methanoculleus, Clostridium, Aneurinibacillus, Corynebacterium, Lactobacillus, Microbacterium, Trichosporon, Saccharomycopsis, Sagenomella, Talaromyces, Eurotium, Issatchenkia, Zygosaccharomyces, Saccharomyces and TM7 phylum. The fungal Issatchenkia, Saccharomycopsis and Talaromyces and the bacteria Staphylococcus and Lactobacillus were most abundant in the 1 day fermented cover lees, the fungal Issatchenkia, Saccharomyces and Talaromyces and the bacteria Bacillus and Streptococcus were dominant in the 7 days cover lees, the archaea Methanoculleus and the fungal Eurotium and Talaromyces were prevalent in the 60 days cover lees. When the microbial community profiles in three samples were compared at species level, the prokaryotic community similarity coefficient was from 0.4042 to 0.5703 and descended to 0.2222, and that of eukaryotic community was from 0.3000 to 0.6000 and followed to 0.5215. These results suggested that microbial diversity variability and community succession have happened in the cover lees associated with fermentation proceeding and such variability and succession respond for the appearance of some unique flavor of Luzhou-flavor liquor.

象山港硅藻赤潮过程中真菌群落演替及互作特征

[背景] 近岸海域赤潮的发生能显著改变包括真菌在内的微生物群落组成,进而影响海洋中碳氮元素循环。真菌是海洋中重要的分解者,但赤潮过程对真菌群落的影响少有报道。[目的] 探明赤潮过程对真菌群落的影响,对进一步阐释赤潮对生态系统中物质循环的影响具有重要意义。[方法] 针对2017年春季象山港硅藻赤潮,对真菌内源转录间隔区1（Internally Transcribed Spacer 1,ITS1）序列进行高通量测序,研究赤潮过程中真菌群落响应及共现性特征。[结果] 真菌群落的α多样性指数在赤潮暴发的各阶段差异显著,而且均与磷酸盐、硝酸盐和亚硝酸盐有显著相关性（P<0.05）。子囊菌门（Ascomycota,90.2%）和担子菌门（Basidiomycota,8.27%）是本次硅藻赤潮的优势菌门,其中子囊菌门遍布赤潮暴发的4个阶段;锤舌菌纲（Leotiomycetes,16.1%）和散囊菌纲（Eurotiomycetes,9.3%）是纲水平上的主要优势类群。赤潮暴发过程中硝酸盐、亚硝酸盐、磷酸盐和温度等环境因素的改变,驱动真菌群落组成及结构发生显著变化。Helotiales、Eurotiales、Xylariales、Sacc haromycetales和Agaricostilbales构成了真菌群落共现网络的主体。[结论] 真菌群落在赤潮的各阶段具有显著的演替特征,赤潮藻生消是引起真菌群落演替的主要因素,但是环境因子也扮演着重要角色。赤潮过程中,真菌群落同类群内的互作要强于不同类群间的互作,这对维持群落的稳定性具有重要意义。     

Monitoring of the bacterial and fungal biodiversity and dynamics during Massa Medicata Fermentata fermentation

The microbial community dynamics play an important role during Massa Medicata Fermentata (MMF) fermentation. In this study, bacterial and fungal communities were investigated based on the culture-dependent method and polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis. Meanwhile the dynamic changes of digestive enzyme activities were also examined. Plating results showed that MMF fermentation comprised two stages: pre-fermentation stage (0–4 days) was dominated by bacterial community and post-fermentation stage (5–9 days) was dominated by fungal community. The amount of bacteria reached the highest copy number 1.2?×?10¹⁰ CFU/g at day 2, but the fungi counts reached 6.3?×?10⁵ CFU/g at day 9. A total of 170 isolates were closely related to genera Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Mucor, Saccharomyces, Rhodotorula, and Amylomyces. DGGE analysis showed a clear reduction of bacterial and fungal diversity during fermentation, and the dominant microbes belonged to genera Enterobacter, Pediococcus, Pseudomonas, Mucor, and Saccharomyces. Digestive enzyme assay showed filter paper activity; the activities of amylase, carboxymethyl cellulase, and lipase reached a peak at day 4; and the protease activity constantly increased until the end of the fermentation. In this study, we carried out a detailed and comprehensive analysis of microbial communities as well as four digestive enzymes' activities during MMF fermentation process. The monitoring of bacterial and fungal biodiversity and dynamics during MMF fermentation has significant potential for controlling the fermentation process.     

基于宏基因组学解析不同质量等级中温大曲微生物组的异质性

【目的】中温大曲是浓香型白酒酿造中的糖化发酵剂和生香剂，目前其质量评价主要依赖于感官和理化特征。已有研究采用扩增子测序初步探索了大曲质量等级与微生物群落组成之间的关联性，但是微生物群落功能对大曲质量的影响尚缺乏深入研究。【方法】本研究采用宏基因组学解析和对比了不同质量等级大曲的微生物群落组成和潜在功能的差异，结合理化性质，聚焦分析了酶活、乳酸和乙酸代谢相关的关键酶基因丰度。【结果】两种等级大曲的真菌群落组成差异显著。一级大曲含有更高相对丰度的丝状真菌，主要分布在曲霉属(Aspergillus, 21.6%)、罗萨氏菌属(Rasamsonia, 6.8%)、拟青霉属(Paecilomyces, 5.0%)和篮状菌属(Talaromyces, 4.4%)等。一级大曲中与环境信息处理和细胞过程相关途径的基因相对丰度普遍显著高于二级大曲。一级大曲中薄层菌属(Hymenobacter)和曲霉属等提供了更高基因丰度的α-淀粉酶，使其具有显著较高的液化力。二级大曲则含有更高相对丰度的横梗霉属(Lichtheimia, 11.8%)、根霉属(Rhizopus, 13.4%)和毕赤酵母属(Pichia, 7.2%)以及乳酸菌类微生物，如伴生乳杆菌属(Companilactobacillus)、魏斯氏菌属(Weissella)和黏液乳杆菌属(Limosilactobacillus)等。二级大曲中与代谢相关途径的基因相对丰度显著较高，如碳水化合物代谢、能量代谢和核苷酸代谢等。二级大曲中较多的乳酸菌类群有利于提高乙醇脱氢酶基因丰度，同时，糖多孢菌属(Saccharopolyspora)、葡萄球菌属(Staphylococcus)、曲霉属和高温放线菌属(Thermoactinomyces)等提供了更多的羧酸酯酶基因丰度，分别使其具有较高的发酵力和酯化力。此外，二级大曲中较多的乳酸菌还可能产生更多的乳酸脱氢酶，降解乳酸，且更高基因丰度的乙酸代谢相关酶类可促进乙酸分解代谢，使得二级大曲酸度显著低于一级大曲。【结论】本研究在基因水平上研究了不同质量等级大曲酶活和酸度差异的微生物基础，可为建立完善的大曲质量评价体系以及理性地调控群落功能提供理论支撑。     

Microbial diversity and dynamics of microbial communities during back-slop soaking of soybeans as determined by PCR–DGGE and molecular cloning

Tempe is a traditional fermented food in Indonesia. The manufacture process is quite complex, which comprises two stages, preparatory soaking of soybeans and fungal solid state fermentation. Daily addition of previous soak water (back-slopping) during the soybean soaking step is considered to be crucial in the manufacture of high quality tempe. The microbial diversity and dynamics of the microbial communities evolving during back-slop soaking of soybeans for tempe making was investigated by culture-independent PCR–DGGE and molecular cloning. Both DNA and total RNA were isolated and included in this study, to obtain a view on the succession of total and viable bacteria in the complex microbiota. DGGE profiles indicated that Enterobacter sp., Enterococcus sp., Pseudomonas putida, Leuconostoc fallax, Pediococcus pentosaceus, and Weissella cibaria, were the predominant bacteria. Their occurrence shifted dramatically during the back-slop soaking procedure. This study combined with previous culture-dependent studies could gain a better understanding of the complex microbiota of traditional fermented food and give useful information for its quality control.     

Stability and succession of the rhizosphere microbiota depends upon plant type and soil composition

We examined succession of the rhizosphere microbiota of three model plants (Arabidopsis, Medicago and Brachypodium) in compost and sand and three crops (Brassica, Pisum and Triticum) in compost alone. We used serial inoculation of 24 independent replicate microcosms over three plant generations for each plant/soil combination. Stochastic variation between replicates was surprisingly weak and by the third generation, replicate microcosms for each plant had communities that were very similar to each other but different to those of other plants or unplanted soil. Microbiota diversity remained high in compost, but declined drastically in sand, with bacterial opportunists and putative autotrophs becoming dominant. These dramatic differences indicate that many microbes cannot thrive on plant exudates alone and presumably also require carbon sources and/or nutrients from soil. Arabidopsis had the weakest influence on its microbiota and in compost replicate microcosms converged on three alternative community compositions rather than a single distinctive community. Organisms selected in rhizospheres can have positive or negative effects. Two abundant bacteria are shown to promote plant growth, but in Brassica the pathogen Olpidium brassicae came to dominate the fungal community. So plants exert strong selection on the rhizosphere microbiota but soil composition is critical to its stability. microbial succession/ plant–microbe interactions/rhizosphere microbiota/selection.     

茶轮斑病对茶树叶片内生真菌群落结构的影响

[目的] 茶树叶片内生真菌长期与茶树协同进化,互利共生,在生物和非生物胁迫的生态系统中对茶树起着重要的保护作用,其群落结构组成相对稳定,但在外界因素的影响下,也会发生一定的变化。然而,关于生物胁迫对茶树叶片内生真菌群落结构的影响还缺乏系统的研究。因此,对生物胁迫下叶片内生真菌群落结构的多样性研究具有重要意义。[方法] 本研究采用高通量测序技术,测序了茶轮斑病发病茶树叶片和健康茶树叶片的内生真菌ITS rRNA基因的ITS1区序列,对比分析了内生真菌的多样性和群落结构组成。[结果] 结果表明,发病组叶片的内生真菌多样性和物种丰度均低于健康组。在门分类水平上,2组样本的优势菌群均为子囊菌门（Ascomycota）,在属分类水平上,发病组的优势菌群为炭疽菌属（Colletotrichum）和假拟盘多毛孢属（Pseudopestalotiopsis）,而健康组的优势菌为枝孢属（Cladosporium）。此外,2组样本内生真菌在群落结构组成上也有显著差异,发病组中假拟盘多毛孢属（Pseudopestalotiopsis）、炭疽菌属（Colletotrichum）和节菱孢属（Arthrinium）的相对丰度显著高于健康组,健康组中被孢霉属（Mortierella）、曲霉属（Aspergillus）、织球壳菌属（Plectosphaerella）、Lectera、葡孢霉属（Botryotrichum）、青霉菌属（Penicillium）、赤霉属（Gibberella）、毛壳菌属（Chaetomium）、Lulwoana和轮枝孢属（Verticillium）的相对丰度显著高于发病组。[结论] 综上,茶轮斑病的发生改变了茶树叶片内生真菌的群落结构,使少数物种优势生长。通过研究,明确了真菌病害对茶叶内生真菌群落结构的影响,为病菌的致病机理研究奠定基础,为茶树病害防治提供理论依据。     

Indigenous Bacteria and Fungi Drive Traditional Kimoto Sake Fermentations

Sake (Japanese rice wine) production is a complex, multistage process in which fermentation is performed by a succession of mixed fungi and bacteria. This study employed high-throughput rRNA marker gene sequencing, quantitative PCR, and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism to characterize the bacterial and fungal communities of spontaneous sake production from koji to product as well as brewery equipment surfaces. Results demonstrate a dynamic microbial succession, with koji and early moto fermentations dominated by Bacillus, Staphylococcus, and Aspergillus flavus var. oryzae, succeeded by Lactobacillus spp. and Saccharomyces cerevisiae later in the fermentations. The microbiota driving these fermentations were also prevalent in the production environment, illustrating the reservoirs and routes for microbial contact in this traditional food fermentation. Interrogating the microbial consortia of production environments in parallel with food products is a valuable approach for understanding the complete ecology of food production systems and can be applied to any food system, leading to enlightened perspectives for process control and food safety.     

Bacterial,Archaeal and Fungal Succession in the Forefield of a Receding Glacier

Glacier forefield chronosequences, initially composed of barren substrate after glacier retreat, are ideal locations to study primary microbial colonization and succession in a natural environment. We characterized the structure and composition of bacterial, archaeal and fungal communities in exposed rock substrates along the Damma glacier forefield in central Switzerland. Soil samples were taken along the forefield from sites ranging from fine granite sand devoid of vegetation near the glacier terminus to well-developed soils covered with vegetation. The microbial communities were studied with genetic profiling (T-RFLP) and sequencing of clone libraries. According to the T-RFLP profiles, bacteria showed a high Shannon diversity index (H) (ranging from 2.3 to 3.4) with no trend along the forefield. The major bacterial lineages were Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, Firmicutes and Cyanobacteria. An interesting finding was that Euryarchaeota were predominantly colonizing young soils and Crenarchaeota mainly mature soils. Fungi shifted from an Ascomycota-dominated community in young soils to a more Basidiomycota-dominated community in old soils. Redundancy analysis indicated that base saturation, pH, soil C and N contents and plant coverage, all related to soil age, correlated with the microbial succession along the forefield.
