JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:8604-8612. [PMID: 38925544 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13688] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 06/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Microbiota succession determines the flavor and quality of fermented foods. Quantitative PCR-based quantitative microbiome profiling (QMP) has been applied broadly for microbial analysis from absolute abundance perspectives, transforming microbiota ratios into counts by normalizing 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) gene sequencing data with gene copies quantified by quantitative PCR. However, the application of QMP in fermented foods is still limited. RESULTS QMP elucidated microbial succession of Taiwanese pickled cabbage. In the spontaneous first-round fermentation (FR), the 16S rRNA gene copies of total bacteria increased from 6.1 to 10 log copies mL-1. The dominant lactic acid bacteria genera were successively Lactococcus, Leuconostoc and Lactiplantibacillus. Despite the decrease in the proportion of Lactococcus during the succession, the absolute abundance of Lactococcus still increased. In the backslopping second-round fermentation (SR), the total bacteria 16S rRNA gene copies increased from 7.6 to 9.9 log copies mL-1. The addition of backslopping starter and vinegar rapidly led to a homogenous microbial community dominated by Lactiplantibacillus. The proportion of Lactiplantibacillus remained consistently around 90% during SR, whereas its absolute abundance exhibited a continuous increase. In SR without vinegar, Leuconostoc consistently dominated the fermentation. CONCLUSION The present study highlights that compositional analysis would misinterpret microbial dynamics, whereas QMP reflected the real succession profiles and unveiled the essential role of vinegar in promoting Lactiplantibacillus dominance in backslopping fermentation of Taiwanese pickled cabbage. Quantitative microbiome profiling (QMP) was found to be a more promising approach for the detailed observation of microbiome succession in food fermentation compared to compositional analysis. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Temperature is an important driving force that shapes the texture of fermented vegetables through driving the molecular distribution and microbial invasion between the liquid phase (brine) and the solid phase (vegetables) during fermentation. The objective of this study was to investigate the texture softening by investigating firmness, microstructure, physicochemical properties, molecular distribution and microbial community between brine and vegetables of Paocai as affected by fermentation temperatures of 10 °C, 20 °C and 30 °C. Results demonstrated that, compared with 10 °C and 30 °C, 20 °C attenuated softening of Paocai by restraining microbial invasion and suppressing pectinolysis. Moreover, at 20 °C, a balanced molecular distribution and microbial community were achieved between vegetables and brine, thus accomplishing acid-production fermentation. By contrast, 10 °C and 30 °C promoted nonfermentative microbial genera, retarding fermentation. This study provided an understanding of the divergent influence of temperature on quality formation of fermented vegetables during fermentation.

Sawada K, Yamada T. Influence of the initial microbiota on eggplant shibazuke pickle and eggplant juice fermentation. Microbiol Spectr 2024; 12:e0046424. [PMID: 39016604 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00464-24] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of the initial microbiota on microbial succession and metabolite transition during eggplant fermentation. Samples of traditional Japanese eggplant pickles, shibazuke, which were spontaneously fermented by plant-associated microbiota, were used for the analysis. Microbiota analysis indicated two successional patterns: early dominance of lactic acid bacteria superseded by aerobic bacteria and early dominance of lactic acid bacteria maintained to the end of the production process. Next, shibazuke production was modeled using filter-sterilized eggplant juice, fermenting the average composition of the initial shibazuke microbiota, which was artificially constructed from six major species identified during shibazuke production. In contrast to shibazuke production, all batches of eggplant juice fermentation showed almost identical microbial succession and complete dominance of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum in the final microbiota. These findings revealed the fate of initial microbiota under shibazuke production conditions: the early dominance of lactic acid bacteria that was maintained throughout, with L. plantarum ultimately predominating the microbiota. Furthermore, a comparison of the results between shibazuke production and eggplant juice fermentation suggested that L. plantarum is involved in the production of lactic acid, alanine, and glutamic acid during eggplant fermentation regardless of the final microbiota. IMPORTANCE The findings shown in this study provide insight into the microbial succession during spontaneous pickle fermentation and the role of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum in eggplant pickle production. Moreover, the novel method of using filter-sterilized vegetable juice with an artificial microbiota to emulate spontaneous fermentation can be applied to other spontaneously fermented products. This approach allows for the evaluation of the effect of specific initial microbiota in the absence of plant-associated bacteria from raw materials potentially promoting a greater understanding of microbial behavior in complex microbial ecosystems during vegetable fermentation.

Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1323424. [PMID: 38163080 PMCID: PMC10757351 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1323424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Fermentation is an ancient practice of food preservation. Fermented vegetables are popular in Eastern European and Asian countries. They have received a growing interest in Western countries, where they are mainly manufactured at domestic and artisanal scales and poorly characterized. Our aim was to investigate the microbial communities and the safety of French homemade fermented vegetables, in the frame of a citizen science project. Fermented vegetables and the data associated with their manufacture were collected from citizens and characterized for pH, NaCl concentration, and microbiology by culturomics and 16S DNA metabarcoding analysis. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast isolates were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and D1/D2 domains of the large subunit of the rRNA gene, respectively. The 75 collected samples contained 23 types of vegetables, mainly cabbage, followed by carrots and beets, and many mixtures of vegetables. They were 2 weeks to 4 years old, and their median pH was 3.56, except for two samples with a pH over 4.5. LAB represented the dominant viable bacteria. LAB concentrations ranged from non-detectable values to 8.7 log colony-forming units (CFU)/g and only depended on the age of the samples, with the highest most frequently observed in the youngest samples (<100 days). The 93 LAB isolates identified belonged to 23 species, the two mains being Lactiplantibacillus pentosus/plantarum and Levilactobacillus brevis. The other microbial groups enumerated (total aerobic bacteria, halotolerant bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and acetic acid bacteria) generally showed lower concentrations compared to LAB concentrations. No pathogenic bacteria were detected. Viable yeasts were observed in nearly half the samples, at concentrations reaching up to 8.0 log CFU/g. The 33 yeast clones identified belonged to 16 species. Bacterial metabarcoding showed two main orders, namely, Lactobacillales (i.e., LAB, 79% of abundance, 177 of the 398 total ASVs) and Enterobacterales (19% of abundance, 191 ASVs). Fifteen LAB genera were identified, with Lactiplantibacillus and Levilactobacillus as the most abundant, with 41 and 12% of total reads, respectively. Enterobacterales members were mainly represented by Enterobacteriaceae and Yersiniaceae. This study is the first wide description of the microbiota of a large variety of homemade fermented vegetables and documents their safety.

Abstract
A two-step trial was used to optimize the culture condition of naturally lacto-fermented cucumbers. In the first trial, changes in pH values and total biogenic amines were measured to optimize the pickling juice formula. A 15% crystal sugar solution with low-salt brine at 4 °C was proved to be the best formula. In the second trial, pH values, organic acids, total phenolics, flavonoids, saponins and free amino acids, as well as biogenic amines and nitrites under the optimal pickling formula were measured. The optimal fermentation day was suggested at around 8 days. During the cucumber's fermentation process, the pH value was quickly lowered to <4.6. Meanwhile, the functional ingredients increased significantly. In contrast, total biogenic amines and nitrites did not exceed the risk limit, evidencing the safety and functional characteristics for the naturally lacto-fermented cucumbers. The two-step trial has evidenced the possibility to develop desirable lacto-fermented cucumbers.

Abstract
Fermented vegetables have a long history and are enjoyed worldwide for their unique flavors and health benefits. The process of fermentation improves the nutritional value, taste, and shelf life of foods. Microorganisms play a crucial role in this process through the production of metabolites. The flavors of fermented vegetables are closely related to the evaluation and succession of microbiota. Lactic acid bacteria (LABs) are typically the dominant bacteria in fermented vegetables, and they help inhibit the growth of spoilage bacteria and maintain a healthy gut microbiota in humans. However, homemade and small-scale artisanal products rely on spontaneous fermentation using bacteria naturally present on fresh vegetables or from aged brine, which may introduce external microorganisms and lead to spoilage and substandard products. Hence, understanding the role of LABs and other probiotics in maintaining the quality and safety of fermented vegetables is essential. Additionally, selecting probiotic fermentation microbiota and isolating beneficial probiotics from fermented vegetables can facilitate the use of safe and healthy starter cultures for large-scale industrial production. This review provides insights into the traditional fermentation process of making fermented vegetables, explains the mechanisms involved, and discusses the use of modern microbiome technologies to regulate fermentation microorganisms and create probiotic fermentation microbiota for the production of highly effective, wholesome, safe, and healthy fermented vegetable foods.

Abstract
Kimchi is a traditional Korean fermented vegetable that is stored and fermented at low temperatures. However, kimchi lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are typically isolated under mesophilic conditions, which may be inappropriate for isolating the diverse LAB. Therefore, this study investigated the suitable conditions for isolating various LAB from kimchi. Here, LAB were isolated from four kimchi samples using MRS, PES, and LBS media and varying isolation temperatures (30, 20, 10, and 5°C). Then, MRS was selected as the suitable medium for LAB isolation. A comparison of culture-dependent and culture-independent approaches indicated that 5°C was not a suitable isolation temperature. Thus, the number and diversity of LAB were determined at 30, 20, and 10°C using 12 additional kimchi samples to elucidate the effect of isolation temperature. With the exception of two samples, most samples did not substantially differ in LAB number. However, Leuconostoc gelidum, Leuconostoc gasicomitatum, Leuconostoc inhae, Dellaglioa algida, Companilactobacillus kimchiensis, Leuconostoc miyukkimchii, Leuconostoc holzapfelii, and Leuconostoc carnosum were isolated only at 10 and 20°C. The growth curves of these isolates, except Leu. holzapfelii and Leu. carnosum, showed poor growth at 30°C. This confirmed their psychrotrophic characteristics. In Weissella koreensis, which was isolated at all isolation temperatures, there was a difference in the fatty acid composition of membranes between strains that could grow well at 30°C and those that could not. These findings can contribute to the isolation of more diverse psychrotrophic strains that were not well isolated under mesophilic temperatures.

Abstract
The olive vegetable is popular food owing to its unique flavor. This study innovatively used headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry to evaluate olive vegetables' volatiles under different conditions. A total of 57 volatile compounds were determined from olive vegetables, including 30 aldehydes, 8 ketones, 5 alcohols, 2 esters, 8 hydrocarbons, 1 furans, 3 sulfur compounds. The PCA distinguished the olive vegetable stored at different conditions by volatiles. The gallery plot showed that olive vegetables stored at 4 °C for 21 d produced more limonene, which had a desirable fruity odor. The (E)-2-octenal, (E)-2-pentenal, (E,E)-2,4-heptadienal, 5-methylfurfural, and heptanal in fresh olive vegetables were lowest and increased with storage time. Furthermore, the change of volatiles was the least when the olive vegetable was stored at 0 °C. This study can provide theoretical bases for improving the flavor quality of olive vegetables and developing traditional food for standardized industrial production.

Abstract
Apo pickle is a traditional Chinese fermented vegetable. However, the traditional fermentation process of Apo pickle is slow, easy to ruin, and cannot be judged with regard to time. To improve fermentation, LP-165 (L. Plantarum), which has a high salt tolerance, acidification, and growth capacity, was chosen as the starter culture. Meanwhile, a colorimetric sensor array (CSA) sensitive to pickle volatile compounds was developed to differentiate Apo pickles at varying degrees of fermentation. The color components were extracted from each dye in the color change profiles and were analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The fermentation process of the Apo pickle was classified into four phases by LDA. The accuracy of backward substitution verification was 99% and the accuracy of cross validation was 92.7%. Furthermore, the partial least squares regression (PLSR) showed that data from the CSA were correlated with pH total acid, lactic acid, and volatile acids of the Apo pickle. These results illustrate that the CSA reacts quickly to inoculated Apo pickle and could be used to detect fermentation.

Effect of Autochthonous Lactic Acid Bacteria-Enhanced Fermentation on the Quality of Suancai. Foods 2022; 11:foods11213310.

Abstract
The lactic acid bacteria (LABs) used for fermentation have an extremely vital impact on the quality of Suancai, a fermented vegetable. The bacterial diversity and metabolites of inoculated Suancai with LABs, including Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (Lb. plantarum), Levilactabacillus brevis (Lb. brevis), and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (Leu. mesenteroides), were investigated. The inoculation of LABs significantly decreased the pH and the content of nitrite. The Suancai inoculated with LABs had a higher content of the total titratable acidity (TTA) and organic acids than spontaneous fermentation. The LABs inoculation significantly influenced the bacterial community structures, which directly or indirectly caused changes of metabolites. The bacterial community profiles of Suancai inoculated with Lb. plantarum were more similar to spontaneous fermentation. The inoculation of Lb. plantarum, Lb. brevis, and Leu. mesenteroides could increase its abundance in Suancai. Whatever the species inoculated, Lb. plantarum was always the predominant bacterium in Suancai after fermentation. The inoculated LABs were positively correlated with most volatile compounds and amino acids. The inoculated LABs significantly improved the volatile compounds and amino acid content of Suancai. This study could contribute to understanding the function of starters in Suancai fermentation and promote the selection of applicable starters for high-quality Suancai production.

Abstract
Sour bamboo shoot is a traditional Chinese fermented vegetable food. The traditional pickling method of sour bamboo shoots has the disadvantages of being time-consuming, inhomogeneous, and difficult to control. Pulsed vacuum pressure pickling (PVPP) technology uses pulsed vacuum pressure to enhance the pickling efficiency significantly. To demonstrate the effects of salt content and PVPP technical parameters on the fermentation of bamboo shoots, the sample salinity, pH value, color, crunchiness and chewiness, nitrite content, and lactic acid bacteria content during the pickling process were investigated. The salt content inside the bamboo shoots gradually increased to the equilibrium point during the pickling process. The pickling efficiency of bamboo shoots under PVPP technology increased by 34.1% compared to the traditional control groups. Meanwhile, the uniform salt distribution under PVPP technology also obtained better performance in comparison with the traditional groups. The pH value declined slowly from 5.96 to 3.70 with the extension of pickling time and sour flavor accumulated progressively. No significant differences were found in the color values (L*, a*, and b*) and the crunchiness of the bamboo shoot under different salt solution concentrations, vacuum pressure, and pulsation frequency ratio conditions. Colony-forming unit of lactic acid bacteria (CFU of LAB) decreased, to begin with, and then increased until the 6th day, followed by a declining trend in volatility. The nitrate content of bamboo shoots samples under PVPP treatments did not exceed the safety standard (<20 mg/kg) during the whole fermentation process, which proves the safety of PVPP technology. In conclusion, PVPP technology can safely replace the traditional method with better quality performance. The optimal PVPP processing conditions (vacuum pressure 60 kPa, 10 min vacuum pressure time vs. 4 min atmospheric pressure time, salt solution concentration 6%) have been recommended for pickling bamboo shoots with high product quality.

Abstract
Microbial diversity and dynamic changes play an important role in the production of fermented peppers. In this study, the relationship between fungal communities and the volatile flavor compounds of traditional Chinese fermented peppers was investigated by high-throughput sequencing technology. The results showed that Hanseniaspora was a dominant fungus during the whole fermentation course and accounted for 82.22% of the fungal community on average (ranging from 50.44% to 98.15%). Bidirectional orthogonal partial least squares (O2PLS) analysis between fungal community and volatile flavor compounds showed that Pichia, Hanseniaspora, Cryptococcus, Debarvomvces, and Trichosporon were closely correlated with the concentrations of the volatile flavor components such as α-terpineol, trans-3-tetradecene, 4-methylpentyl 3-methylbutanoate, and 11 other volatile flavor compounds. This study elucidated the dynamics of fungal communities and volatile flavor compounds during pepper fermentation and the correlation between them. Our analysis of the relationships between fungal communities and volatile flavor compounds advanced our understanding of the formation mechanism of volatile flavor compounds in fermented peppers.

Abstract
Microbial amino acid decarboxylases (AADs) produce biogenic amines (BAs) in fermented food. However, a systematic comparison of the AADs' properties from different microorganisms in pickle fermentation remains unexplored. Here, we bioinformatically analyzed the amino acid sequences of AADs corresponding to four major BAs for common microorganisms in pickle fermentation. We showed that their sequences, besides tyrosine decarboxylase, differed among microorganisms. Overall, the AAD sequences varied lesser among bacterial species than between bacteria and fungi, with those in Lactobacillus sharing occasionally high similarity with other bacteria. Most AADs were predicted as stable cytosolic endoenzymes. Molecular docking showed that most commonly used spice components in pickle production, especially pepper, chili, and ginger, strongly bind to the AAD active sites, thus may inhibit the enzymes and reduce the BA accumulation. This study provides insights for deeply understanding the different microbial AAD properties in pickle fermentation and reducing BAs by appropriately using spices.

Abstract
Biogenic amines (BAs) are considered potential hazards produced during fermented food processing, and the production of BAs is closely related to microbial metabolism. In this work, the changes of BA content were analyzed during mustard fermentation, and microbes and gene abundance responsible for producing BAs were revealed by metagenomic analyses. The results showed that cadaverine, putrescine, tyramine, and histamine were generated during mustard fermentation, which mainly accumulate in the first 6 days of fermentation. According to the metagenome sequencing, the predominant genus was Bacillus (64.78%), followed by Lactobacillus (11.67%), Weissella (8.88%), and Leuconostoc (1.71%) in the initial fermentation stage (second day), while Lactobacillus (76.03%) became the most dominant genus in the late stage. In addition, the gene abundance of BA production enzymes was the highest in the second day and decreased continuously as fermentation progressed. By tracking the source of the enzyme in the KEGG database, both Bacillus and Delftia closely correlated to the generation of putrescine. Besides, Bacillus also correlated to the generation of tyramine and spermidine, and Delftia also correlated to the generation of cadaverine and spermine. In the processes of fermentation, the pH of fermented mustard showed slower decrease compared with other similar fermented vegetables, which may allow Bacillus to grow at high levels before the pH <4. This study reveals the change of BA content and microbes involved in BA formation during mustard fermentation.

Abstract
“Chinese paocai” is typically made by fermenting red radish or cabbage with aged brine (6–8 w/w). This study aimed to reveal the effects of paocai raw materials on fermentation microorganisms by metagenomics sequencing technology, and on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy, using red radish or cabbage fermented for six rounds with aged brine. The results showed that in the same fermentation period, the microbial diversity in cabbage was higher than that in red radish. Secundilactobacillus paracollinoides and Furfurilactobacillus siliginis were the characteristic bacteria in red radish paocai, whereas 15 species of characteristic microbes were found in cabbage. Thirteen kinds of VOCs were different between the two raw materials and the correlation between the microorganisms and VOCs showed that cabbage paocai had stronger correlations than radish paocai for the most significant relationship between 4-isopropylbenzyl alcohol, α-cadinol, terpinolene and isobutyl phenylacetate. The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for understanding the microbiota and their relation to the characteristic flavors of the fermented paocai.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paocai is a traditional Chinese fermented vegetable food. As the most important ingredient, salt has crucial effects on the bacterial community and volatile compounds of paocai. To demonstrate the effects of salt on the fermentation of paocai, the bacterial composition and volatile compounds were investigated using high-throughput sequencing and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). RESULTS The salt had no significant effects on the bacterial community at the phylum level. Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes gradually decreased during the fermentation, and Firmicutes gradually increased as the dominant bacteria in the late stage of fermentation. At the genus level, Lactobacillus and Lactococcus gradually increased in relative abundance during the fermentation and became the dominant bacteria in paocai. High salt levels can contribute to the growth of Lactobacillus, which became the dominant genus in paocai. The salt concentration affected the profiles of volatile compounds in paocai after fermentation. A total of 42 volatile components were detected by GC-MS, among which phenols, aldehydes, and nitriles were the main ones. A high salt concentration will increase the volatile compound content, mainly aldehydes and alcohols, and improve the flavor of paocai. At the same time, the electronic tongue analysis also showed that a high salt concentration made a major contribution to the flavor of paocai. CONCLUSIONS These data are helpful to elucidate the effects of salt on the quality of paocai and contribute to improving the quality and reducing the use of salt. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In this work, the antibiotic resistance of 218 isolates to 9 different antibiotics was analyzed with minimum inhibitory concentration method. All Lactobacillus pentosus strains were found to be resistant to streptomycin sulfate and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride. Lactococcus lactis strains were resistant to streptomycin sulfate. Specifically, 90% Klebsiella oxytoca and all Citrobacter freundii strains were resistant to ampicillin sodium. 30% K. oxytoca strains were resistant to ciprofloxacin hydrochloride. All Bacillus albus strains were resistant to erythromycin and 80% strains were resistant to ampicillin sodium. Results from PCR analysis revealed that 90 isolates carried the aadE gene. The tetM gene was detected in four L. pentosus isolates. And the streptomycin resistant gene aadA was detected in one L. pentosus isolate. Metagenome analysis revealed that 74.7% genes associated with antibiotic resistance were antibiotic resistance genes. The tetM and aadA genes, detected in PCR analysis, were also retrieved from the paocai metagenome. In brief, this study generated the antibiotic resistance profile of some paocai-originated bacteria strains. L. pentosus found in the final edible paocai were inherently resistant to antibiotics, such as streptomycin and ciprofloxacin. Results in this work reminds us to carefully choose the LAB strains for traditional Chinese paocai production to avoid potential spreading of antibiotic resistant genes.

Abstract
Six different fermented vegetables were collected from Zhejiang Province, China, to explore the associated bacterial community using a high-throughput sequencing platform. A total of 24 phyla, 274 families and 569 genera were identified from 6 samples. Firmicutes and Proteobacteria were the main phyla in all of the samples. Brevibacterium was the major genus in Xiaoshan pickled radish. Lactobacillus-related genera and Vibrio were the major genera in fermented potherb mustard and its brine. Enterobacter and Cobetia were the major genera in fermented radish and its brine. Chromohalobacter was the major genus in the tuber mustard. These results indicated clear differences were there between the bacterial genera present in Xiaoshan pickled radish, fermented potherb mustard, fermented radish, and tuber mustard. This demonstrated the possible influences of raw materials and manufacturing processes. Furthermore, a large number of lactic acid bacteria were isolated and identified by culture-dependent and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, which accounted for more than 68% of all the isolates. In addition, whole-genome analysis of Levilactobacillus suantsaii, Latilactobacillus sakei subsp. sakei, and Weissella cibaria showed that they had large numbers of genes associated with carbohydrate metabolism. This may explain why these three bacterial strains can grow in fermented vegetable environments.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to control the fermentation time and nitrite content of suancai prepared with Lactobacillus plantarum. According to analyses of the consumption amount and rate of nutrients, growth-stimulating nutrients, essential nutrients and nutrients accelerating the fermentation process of suancai, Asp, Thr, Glu, Cys, Tyr, Mg2+, Mn2+ and inosine were selected as additions to suancai prepared with L. plantarum. The fermentation time and nitrite content of suancai supplemented with nutrients and prepared with L. plantarum were shortened by 2 days and 5 days and reduced by approximately 0.1-fold and 0.7-fold, respectively, compared with unsupplemented suancai prepared with L. plantarum at 25 °C and 10 °C. The fermentation time and nitrite content of suancai supplemented with nutrients and prepared with L. plantarum were shortened by 6 days and 15 days and reduced by approximately 0.17-fold and 0.8-fold, respectively, compared with suancai undergoing spontaneous fermentation at 25 °C and 10 °C. Furthermore, no significant differences were observed in sensory properties in suancai. The results of this study indicated that certain nutrients accelerated the growth of L. plantarum and reduced the fermentation time and nitrite content of suancai prepared with L. plantarum. These findings help to establish a foundation for the practical use of nutrients to control the fermentation of suancai.

Abstract
Pickles are a type of traditional fermented food in Northeast China that exhibit a broad variety of preparations, flavors and microbial components. Despite their widespread consumption, the core microorganisms in various traditional pickles and the precise impact of ecological variables on the microbiota remains obscure. The present study aims to unravel the microbial diversity in different pickle types collected from household (12 samples) and industrial (10 samples) sources. Among these 22 samples tested, differences were observed in total acid, amino acid nitrogen, nitrite, and salt content. Firmicutes and Ascomycota emerged as the predominant microbial phyla as observed by Illumina MiSeq sequencing. Amongst these, the commonly encountered microorganisms were Lactobacillus, Weissella and yeast. Comparative analysis based on non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS), showed that the microbial community in the pickles was affected by external conditions such as major ingredients and manufacturing process. Correlation analysis further showed that the resident core microorganisms in pickles could adapt to the changing internal fermentation environment. The insights gained from this study further our understanding of traditional fermented foods and can be used to guide the isolation of excellent fermented strains.

Metabolic profile of main organic acids and its regulatory mechanism in solid-state fermentation of Chinese cereal vinegar. Food Res Int 2021; 145:110400.

Abstract
Shanxi aged vinegar (SAV), a traditional Chinese cereal vinegar, is produced using solid-state fermentation (SSF) technology. Organic acids are the key flavor compounds of vinegar. However, the metabolic mechanism of organic acids during SSF process is still unclear. In this study, metatranscriptomics was used to explore the metabolic profile of main organic acids in SSF. The results show that carbon metabolism is the dominant pathway during fermentation, among which pyruvate metabolism, glycolysis and starch and sucrose metabolism associated with organic acids were the most abundant. The metabolic pathways of acetic acid and lactic acid shift from acetyl-P and pyruvate pathways at early and middle-early stages of fermentation to acetaldehyde and L-lactaldehyde pathways at later stages, respectively, and Lactobacillus and Acetobacter are the predominant microorganisms contributed to them. Temperature and acetic acid are proven to be the environmental factors that regulate the metabolic activity during SSF. This study sheds new lights on metabolism of flavor substances in the spontaneous ecosystems of traditional fermented food.

Abstract
Background Salting is a traditional procedure for producing pickled vegetables. Salting can be used as a pretreatment, for safe lactic acid fermentation and for salt stock preparation. This study aimed to provide valuable knowledge to improve pickle production by investigating the dynamics of microbiota and metabolites during the pretreatment and salt stock preparation processes, which have previously been overlooked. The differences in these process conditions would be expected to change the microbiota and consequently influence the content of metabolites in pickles. Methods Samples, collected from eight commercial pickle manufacturers in Japan, consisted of the initial raw materials, pickled vegetables and used brine. The microbiota were analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing and the metabolites quantified by liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometry. Statistical analyses helped to identify any significant differences between samples from the initial raw materials, pretreatment process and salt stock preparation process groups. Results Under pretreatment conditions, aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria were predominant, including Vibrio, a potentially undesirable genus for pickle production. Under salt stock preparation conditions, the presence of halophilic bacteria, Halanaerobium, suggested their involvement in the increase in pyruvate derivatives such as branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). PICRUSt analysis indicated that the enhanced production of BCAA in salt stock was caused not by quantitative but by qualitative differences in the biosynthetic pathway of BCAA in the microbiota. Conclusion The differences in the microbiota between pretreatment and previously studied lactic acid fermentation processes emphasized the importance of anaerobic conditions and low pH under moderate salinity conditions for assuring safe pickle production. The results from the salt stock preparation process suggested that the Halanaerobium present may provide a key enzyme in the BCAA biosynthetic pathway which prefers NADH as a coenzyme. This feature can enhance BCAA production under anaerobic conditions where NADH is in excess. The effects shown in this study will be important for adjusting pickling conditions by changing the abundance of bacteria to improve the quality of pickled vegetables.

Dissimilarity in sensory attributes, shelf life and spoilage bacterial and fungal microbiota of industrial-scale wet starch noodles induced by different preservatives and temperature.

Abstract
Shelf life, storage stability and microbial growth of wet starch noodles during storage were investigated, and spoilage microbiota was also analyzed to further reveal the decisive factor shaping the microbial community. Sensory analysis and microbiological results indicated that starch noodles treated with sodium dehydroacetate and stored at 4 °C could effectively delay the moldy decay and extend the shelf-life to 50 days, as compared to control and other treatments. In wet starch noodles, molds were found to have a higher spoilage potential than bacteria and yeasts. 16S rDNA sequencing revealed that preservatives, rather than temperature, could cause the significant difference (PERMANOVA p = 0.001) of spoilage bacterial community among samples and sodium dehydroacetate could markedly reduce the bacterial diversity. ITS rDNA sequencing results demonstrated that temperature was the decisive factor in shaping fungal spoilage microbiota (Mantel test r = 0.413, p = 0.002). Besides, Spearman correlation analysis illustrated that the abundance of some microorganisms such as Pseudomonas, Aspergillus and Penicillium were found to be significantly correlated with pH or temperature. These findings provide guiding information in the selection of preservatives and environmental condition for this high-moisture starch noodles.

Abstract
The importance of fermentation temperature has been highlighted as it correlates with biodiversity and microbial metabolism for a microbial community. In this study, microbial community succession and volatile flavors during sauce-flavor Baijiu fermentation at different initial temperatures (LT group: 28 ± 2 °C and HT group: 37 ± 2 °C) were investigated using Illumina Miseq sequencing and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). First, we found that different initial temperatures had a significant effect on fermentation parameters (P < 0.001); specifically, a higher initial temperature increased the accumulation of acetic acid and decreased the production of ethanol. Second, the microbial communities were characterized by decreased α-diversity and increased β-diversity (P < 0.05) during heap fermentation. A higher initial temperature accelerated the increase in Lactobacillus and led to a faster microbial succession rate. Lactobacillus could be used as microbial markers of microbial succession rate in sauce-flavor Baijiu fermentation. Next, we found that acetic acid drove microbial succession under a higher fermentation temperature. Molecular ecological network analysis showed that different fermentation temperatures affected microbial interactions. The higher temperature enhanced microbial interactions of Lactobacillus. In addition, 50 volatile flavors were identified in the fermented grains. High temperature increased the content of total acid and reduced total esters, and Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces were the important microbiota related to different flavor compounds between the two groups. Collectively, altering the initial temperature led to differences in microbial succession rates and volatile flavors in the sauce-flavor Baijiu fermentation process. Therefore, these results are valuable for exploring quality control and management strategies in the spontaneous fermentation process.

Abstract
Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) is a compound with a polycyclic cage and an N-nitro group that has been shown to play an unfavorable role in environmental fate, biosafety, and physical health. The aim of this study was to isolate the microbial community and to identify a single microbial strain that can degrade CL-20 with desirable efficiency. Metagenomic sequencing methods were performed to investigate the dynamic changes in the composition of the community diversity. The most varied genus among the microbial community was Pseudomonas, which increased from 1.46% to 44.63% during the period of incubation (MC0-MC4). Furthermore, the new strain was isolated and identified from the activated sludge by bacterial morphological and 16s rRNA sequencing analyses. The CL-20 concentrations decreased by 75.21 μg/mL and 74.02 μg/mL in 48 h by MC4 and Pseudomonas sp. ZyL-01, respectively. Moreover, ZyL-01 could decompose 98% CL-20 of the real effluent in 14 day's incubation with the glucose as carbon source. Finally, a draft genome sequence was obtained to predict possible degrading enzymes involved in the biodegradation of CL-20. Specifically, 330 genes that are involved in energy production and conversion were annotated by Gene Ontology functional enrichment analysis, and some of these candidates may encode enzymes that are responsible for CL-20 degradation. In summary, our studies indicate that microbes might be a valuable biological resource for the treatment of environmental contamination caused by CL-20 and that Pseudomonas sp. ZyL-01 might be a promising candidate for eradicating CL-20 to achieve a more biosafe environment and improve public health.

Abstract
Sauerkraut, one of the most popular traditional fermented vegetable foods in northern China, has been widely consumed for thousands of years. In this study, the physicochemical characteristics, microbial composition and succession, and metabolome profile were elucidated during the fermentation of traditional northeast sauerkraut sampled from different households. The microbial community structure as determined by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technology demonstrated that Firmicutes and Proteobacteria were the predominant phyla and Weissella was the most abundant genus in all samples. Except for Weissella, higher relative abundance of Clostridium was observed in #1 sauerkraut, Clostridium and Enterobacter in #2 sauerkraut, and Lactobacillus in #3 sauerkraut, respectively. Meanwhile, Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed significant variances in the volatilome profile among different homemade sauerkraut. Acids and lactones were dominant in the #1 sauerkraut. The #2 sauerkraut had significantly higher contents of alcohols, aldehydes, esters, sulfides, and free amino acids (FAAs). In comparison, higher contents of terpenes and nitriles were found in the #3 sauerkraut. Furthermore, the potential correlations between the microbiota and volatilome profile were explored based on Spearman’s correlation analysis. Positive correlations were found between Clostridium, Enterobacter, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Weissella and most volatile compounds. Pseudomonas, Chloroplast, Rhizobium, Aureimonas, and Sphingomonas were negatively correlated with volatile compounds in sauerkraut. This study provided a comprehensive picture of the dynamics of microbiota and metabolites profile during the fermentation of different homemade northeast sauerkraut. The elucidation of correlation between microbiota and volatile compounds is helpful for guiding future improvement of the fermentation process and manufacturing high-quality sauerkraut.
