[PMID: 39200461 PMCID: PMC11353490 DOI: 10.3390/foods13162534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2024] [Revised: 08/09/2024] [Accepted: 08/12/2024] [Indexed: 09/02/2024] Open
Abstract
In fermented foods, acetic acid bacteria (AAB), kinds of bacteria with a long history of utilization, contribute to safety, nutritional, and sensory properties primarily through acetic acid fermentation. AAB are commonly found in various fermented foods such as vinegar, sour beer, fermented cocoa and coffee beans, kefir beverages, kombucha, and sourdough. They interact and cooperate with a variety of microorganisms, resulting in the formation of diverse metabolites and the production of fermented foods with distinct flavors. Understanding the interactions between AAB and other microbes is crucial for effectively controlling and utilizing AAB in fermentation processes. However, these microbial interactions are influenced by factors such as strain type, nutritional conditions, ecological niches, and fermentation duration. In this review, we examine the relationships and research methodologies of microbial interactions and interaction studies between AAB and yeasts, lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and bacilli in different food fermentation processes involving these microorganisms. The objective of this review is to identify key interaction models involving AAB and other microorganisms. The insights gained will provide scientific guidance for the effective utilization of AAB as functional microorganisms in food fermentation processes.

[PMID: 38823877 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
The spontaneous Baijiu fermentation system harbors a complex microbiome that is highly dynamic in time and space and varies depending on the Jiuqu starters and environmental factors. The intricate microbiota presents in the fermentation environment is responsible for carrying out various reactions. These reactions necessitate the interaction among the core microbes to influence the community function, ultimately shaping the distinct Baijiu styles through the process of spontaneous fermentation. Numerous studies have been conducted to enhance our understanding of the diversity, succession, and function of microbial communities with the aim of improving fermentation manipulation. However, a comprehensive and critical assessment of the core microbes and their interaction remains one of the significant challenges in the Baijiu fermentation industry. This paper focuses on the fermentation properties of core microbes. We discuss the state of the art of microbial traceability, highlighting the crucial role of environmental and starter microbiota in the Baijiu brewing microbiome. Also, we discuss the various interactions between microbes in the Baijiu production system and propose a potential conceptual framework that involves constructing predictive network models to simplify and quantify microbial interactions using co-culture models. This approach offers effective strategies for understanding the core microbes and their interactions, thus beneficial for the management of microbiota and the regulation of interactions in Baijiu fermentation processes.

Illuminating the Characteristics and Assembly of Prokaryotic Communities across a pH Gradient in Pit Muds for the Production of Chinese Strong-Flavor Baijiu. Foods 2024; 13:1196. [PMID: 38672869 PMCID: PMC11048939 DOI: 10.3390/foods13081196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Pit mud (PM), as an important source of microorganisms, is necessary for Chinese strong-flavor baijiu (CSFB) production. Although it has been revealed that the PM prokaryotic community diversities are influenced by its quality, product area, ages, etc., the characteristics and assembly process of the prokaryotic community in PMs across a pH gradient are still unclear. In this study, the regular changes of α- and β-diversities of the prokaryotic community across a pH gradient in PMs were revealed, which could be divided into "stable", "relatively stable", and "drastically changed" periods. A total of 27 phyla, 53 classes, and 381 genera were observed in all given samples, dominated by Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Lactobacillus, Caproiciproducens, Proteiniphilum, etc. Meanwhile, the complexity of the network structure of the prokaryotic microbial communities is significantly influenced by pH. The community assembly was jointly shaped by deterministic and stochastic processes, with stochastic process contributing more. This study was a specialized report on elucidating the characteristics and assembly of PM prokaryotic communities across a pH gradient, and revealed that the diversity and structure of PM prokaryotic communities could be predictable, to some degree, which could contribute to expanding our understanding of prokaryotic communities in PM.

Zhou J, Li X, Li S, Ding H, Lang Y, Xu P, Wang C, Wu Y, Liu X, Qiu S. Airborne microorganisms and key environmental factors shaping their community patterns in the core production area of the Maotai-flavor Baijiu. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 912:169010. [PMID: 38040348 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.169010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023]
Abstract
Airborne microorganisms are important parts of the Moutai-flavor Baijiu brewing microbial community, which directly affects the quality of Baijiu. However, environmental factors usually shape airborne microbiomes in different distilleries, even in the different production areas of the same distillery. Unfortunately, current understanding of environmental factors shaping airborne microbiomes in distilleries is very limited. To bridge this gap, we compared airborne microbiomes in the Moutai-flavor Baijiu core production areas of different distilleries in the Chishui River Basin and systematically investigated the key environmental factors that shape the airborne microbiomes. The top abundant bacterial communities are mainly affiliated to the phyla Actinobacteriota, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteri, whereas Ascomycota and Basidiomycota are the predominant fungal communities. The Random Forest analysis indicated that the biomarkers in three distilleries are Saccharomonospora and Bacillus, Thermoactinomyces, Oceanobacillus, and Methylobacterium, which are the core functional flora contributing to the production of Daqu. The correlation and network analyses showed that the distillery age and environmental temperature have a strong regulatory effect on airborne microbiomes, suggesting that the fermentation environment has a domesticating effect on air microbiomes. Our findings will greatly help us understand the relationship between airborne microbiomes and environmental factors in distilleries and support the production of the high-quality Moutai-flavor Baijiu.
