Daqu is a fermentative saccharification agent that used to initiate fermentation in the production of Chinese liquor and vinegar. This study investigated differences amylase, protease esterase dominance different types Daqu, which can be useful for quality control flavor improvement by enzyme technology.Hydrolase activities samples were compared principal component analysis (PCA). Based on protein electrophoresis 1 H NMR spectroscopy, patterns metabolites further analysed. The results...
The existence and function of unculturable microorganisms are necessary to explain patterns microbial diversity investigate the assembly succession complex community. Chinese traditional alcoholic fermentation starter contains a community harboring species that control have distinct functions. In this study, we revealed presence, functions, interactions these species. Results by culture-dependent metagenomic sequencing methods identified potential functional Unculturable Saccharomyces...
The metabolism and accumulation of flavor compounds in Chinese Baijiu are driven by microbiota succession their inter-related metabolic processes. Changes the microbiome composition during production have been examined previously; however, respective functions remain unclear. Using shotgun metagenomic sequencing metabolomics, we microbial characteristics light-flavor fermentation to assess correlations between microorganisms potential functions. During fermentation, bacterial abundance...
To date, limited information is available comparing distinct Bacteroides compositions in the chicken gut microbial communities, particularly context of functional capacities and host responses. This study showed that possessing a microbiome with elevated early life may confer beneficial effects to host, improving SCFA production health.
The ongoing nitrogen (N) deposition has led to profound changes in aboveground and belowground ecosystems. However, the stability of plant soil microbial community toward N addition terms resistance resilience is less understood. We established a long-running field trial (2008-2018) series applications combination with mowing fencing (unmown) treatment semiarid steppe. assessed via one subplot discontinuing another promote natural recovery since 2014. Plant was negatively correlated...
ABSTRACT Seed color is a key agronomic trait in crops such as peanut, where it vital indicator of both nutritional and commercial value. In recent years, peanuts with darker seed coats have gained market attention due to their high anthocyanin content. Here, we used bulk segregant analysis identify the gene associated purplish‐red coat identified novel encoding basic/helix–loop–helix transcription factor, P URPLE RED S EED C OAT1 ( PSC1 ), which regulates accumulation anthocyanins coat....
ABSTRACT Colonization of co-evolved, species-specific microbes in early life plays a crucial role gastrointestinal development and immune function. This study hypothesized that modern pig production practices have resulted the loss co-evolved species critical symbiotic host-microbe interactions. To test this, we reintroduced from wild boars (WB) into conventional piglets to explore their colonization dynamics effects on gut microbial communities, metabolite profiles, responses. At postnatal...
Bats, the second largest order of mammals worldwide, harbor specific characteristics such as sustaining flight, a special immune system, unique habits, and ecological niches. In addition, they are natural reservoirs variety emerging or re-emerging zoonotic pathogens. Rhabdoviridae is one most diverse families RNA viruses, which consists 20 ecologically genera, infecting plants, mammals, birds, reptiles, fish. To date, three bat-related genera described, named Lyssavirus, Vesiculovirus,...
Compost and biochar are beneficial soil amendments which derived from agricultural waste, their application was proven to be effective practices for promoting fertility. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form symbiotic associations with most crop plant species, recognized as one group of the important microorganisms increase food security in sustainable agriculture. To understand legacy effects compost addition on AM fungal communities, a field study conducted Songnen Plain, Northeast China....
Stacking is a widely used method of microbial enrichment in the field fermentation and traditionally to promote flavor Chinese sauce-flavor Baijiu; however, its precise mechanism unknown. This study assessed process light-flavor Baijiu with simplest source. After comparing differences composition different kinds Daqu, high-temperature Daqu that significantly differs from was selected for stacking. The physical chemical indicators, community composition, metabolite profiles during were...
To maintain food safety and flock health in broiler chicken production, biosecurity approaches to keep barns free of pathogens are important. Canadian producers must deep clean their with chemical disinfectants at least once annually (full disinfection [FD]) may wash water (water [WW]) throughout the year. However, many use FD after each flock, assuming a greater efficacy more stringent cleaning protocols, although little information is known regarding how these two practices affect pathogen...
ABSTRACT The microbiome of wild animals is believed to be co-evolved with host species, which may play an important role in physiology. It has been hypothesized that the rigorous hygienic practices combination antibiotics and diets simplified formulas used modern swine industry negatively affect establishment development gut microbiome. In this study, we evaluated fecal 90 domestic pigs sampled from nine farms Canada 39 three different locations on two continents (North America Europe) using...
Precipitation may increase or decrease by different intensities, but the pattern and mechanism of soil microbial community assembly under various precipitation changes remain relatively underexplored. Here, although ±30% caused a small (∼19%) in within-treatment taxonomic compositional dissimilarity through deterministic competitive exclusion process steppe ecosystem, ±60% large (∼35%) stochastic ecological drift (random birth/death), which was contrast with traditional thought that...
Soil microbes are an essential component of terrestrial ecosystems and drive many biogeochemical processes throughout the soil profile. Prior field studies mainly focused on vertical patterns microbial communities, meaning their temporal dynamics have been largely neglected. In present study, we investigated bacterial archaeal communities in a wheat-soybean rotation agroecosystem at depth millions sequences per sample. Our results revealed different richness patterns: was lowest deep layer...
Abstract As a crucial strategy for sustainable agricultural production, green manure–crop rotation can regulate soil nutrient cycling and decrease the reliance on nitrogen fertilizers. However, we still lack comprehensive understanding of changes in eco-enzyme activities, microbial metabolism limitations caused by leguminous rotation. Here, conducted field experiments across China to analyze extracellular enzyme specifically β-glucosidase (BG), N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (NAG), leucine...
Controlling carbon emissions is a global goal, and China actively implementing reduction measures. As major agricultural nation, has considerable potential for developing residues as renewable environmentally friendly biomass energy. In this study, we obtained data on crop yields, crop-to-grain ratios, livestock excretion coefficients to calculate the resources of in Chinese provinces from 2013 2022. Crop residue showed distribution pattern with higher levels north than south east west....
