Abstract: High-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the microbial communities in the muscle samples of hairtail fish to study their diversity and dynamic changes during cold-chain circulation. The results showed that the richness and diversity of the microbial community in hairtail fish had a transient decline in 0–24 h and decreased after the first rise during 24–216 h. The diversity and richness of bacteria in cold-chain hairtail fish reached the maximum at 168 h. The Shannon and Simpson diversity indices of the bacteria were 2.96 and 0.16, respectively, and their ACE and Chao1 richness indices were 254.84 and 155.10, respectively. In addition, the dominant bacteria were Proteobacteria in the phylum level, Gammaproteobacteria in the class level, Pseudomonadales in the order level, Pseudomonadaceae in the family level, and Pseudomonas in the genus level, and their relative abundance were 80.52%, 72.11%, 76.68%, 23.25%, and 53.50%, respectively. In this study, the structure of bacterial flora and the dominant bacteria in cold-chain hairtail fish were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing to provide a basis for exploring how to maintain the freshness of hairtail fish and for predicting the shelf-life of hairtail fish.

Abstract In this study, the pit mud used in manufacturing Taorong-type Baijiu was collected from the upper, middle, lower and bottom layers of pits in Henan Yangshao Liquor Co., LTD. Besides, high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technology was adopted to analyze the microbial community structure of the pit mud. In addition, the volatile compounds in the pit mud were subjected to preliminarily qualitative analysis through headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results of HTS demonstrated that there were 5, 3, 5 and 5 dominant bacterial phyla (including 11, 11, 9 and 8 dominant bacterial genera) and 3, 3, 3 and 3 dominant fungal phyla (including 4, 7, 7 and 5 dominant fungal genera) in the pit mud from F-S (upper), G-Z (middle), H-X (lower) and I-D (bottom), respectively. The qualitative analysis results of volatile compounds demonstrated that a total of 78 kinds of volatile compounds were detected in the pit mud, including 46, 45, 39 and 49 kinds in the pit mud from F-S, G-Z, H-X and I-D, respectively. Ester and acid were the two main components in the pit mud. Meanwhile, the correlation between microorganisms and main volatile compounds in the pit mud was analyzed. Moreover, Lentimicrobium, Syner-01 and Blvii28_wastewater-sludge group were found for the first time in the pit mud used for manufacturing Taorong-type Baijiu. The findings of this study could provide a theoretical foundation for improving the quality of pit mud and the flavor of Taorong-type Baijiu.

Abstract The characterization of microbial community dynamics using genomic methods is rapidly expanding, impacting many fields including medical, ecological, and environmental research and applications. One of the biggest challenges for such studies is the isolation of environmental DNA (eDNA) from a variety of samples, diverse microbes, and widely variable community compositions. The current study developed environmentally friendly, user safe, economical, and high throughput eDNA extraction methods for mixed aquatic microbial communities and tested them using 16 s rRNA gene meta-barcoding. Five different lysis buffers including (1) cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), (2) digestion buffer (DB), (3) guanidinium isothiocyanate (GITC), (4) sucrose lysis (SL), and (5) SL-CTAB, coupled with four different purification methods: (1) phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol (PCI), (2) magnetic Bead-Robotic, (3) magnetic Bead-Manual, and (4) membrane-filtration were tested for their efficacy in extracting eDNA from recreational freshwater samples. Results indicated that the CTAB-PCI and SL-Bead-Robotic methods yielded the highest genomic eDNA concentrations and succeeded in detecting the core microbial community including the rare microbes. However, our study recommends the SL-Bead-Robotic eDNA extraction protocol because this method is safe, environmentally friendly, rapid, high-throughput and inexpensive.
