Abstract
This study investigates the dynamics of microbial communities and their functional characteristics during the natural fermentation of roses. Utilizing metagenomic sequencing and volatile compound analysis, the research elucidates the succession of microbial communities and their relationship with the flavor compound production. The findings indicate that Klebsiella and Pichia are predominant in the early stages of fermentation, while Acetobacter and Cyberlindnera become more abundant in the middle and later stages. The glycosyltransferase (GT) family is identified as the primary carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZy) family involved in fermentation, with GT1 and GT2 exhibiting a higher gene abundance. Functional genes are predominantly associated with the carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. Analysis of volatile compounds reveals that substances such as phenethyl acetate and (S,S)-2,3-Butanediol are closely related to the structure of the microbial community. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying rose fermentation and offer a theoretical foundation for technological advancements in the rose product industry.
期刊介绍:
Enzyme and Microbial Technology is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research and reviews, of biotechnological significance and novelty, on basic and applied aspects of the science and technology of processes involving the use of enzymes, micro-organisms, animal cells and plant cells.
We especially encourage submissions on:
Biocatalysis and the use of Directed Evolution in Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology
Biotechnological Production of New Bioactive Molecules, Biomaterials, Biopharmaceuticals, and Biofuels
New Imaging Techniques and Biosensors, especially as applicable to Healthcare and Systems Biology
New Biotechnological Approaches in Genomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics
Metabolic Engineering, Biomolecular Engineering and Nanobiotechnology
Manuscripts which report isolation, purification, immobilization or utilization of organisms or enzymes which are already well-described in the literature are not suitable for publication in EMT, unless their primary purpose is to report significant new findings or approaches which are of broad biotechnological importance. Similarly, manuscripts which report optimization studies on well-established processes are inappropriate. EMT does not accept papers dealing with mathematical modeling unless they report significant, new experimental data.
