Abstract In this study, high-throughput sequencing (HTS) was used to compare and analyze the microbial diversity and variation law during the brewing process of xiaoqu Baijiu. The results showed that 34 phyla, 378 genera of bacteria and 4 phyla, 32 genera of fungi were detected. At the phylum level, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Ascomycota and Bacteroidetes were the dominant groups. During the brewing process of xiaoqu Baijiu, the dominant bacteria were Weissella and unidentified Rickettsiales 2 days before brewing and Lactobacillus 3 days after brewing until the end of brewing. The dominant fungi were Rhizopus, Saccharomyces and Issatchenkia. The relative abundance of Rhizopus decreased with the extension of brewing time, while the relative abundance of Saccharomyces increased and became the dominant bacteria after the second day of brewing. This study revealed the diversity and variation of microbial community in the brewing process of xiaoqu Baijiu, and provide theoretical support and lay the foundation for future study on the contribution of microbial metabolism during brewing of xiaoqu Baijiu, thereby promote the development of xiaoqu baijiu industry.

ABSTRACTHigh-throughput sequencing (HTS) is revolutionizing environmental surveys of microbial diversity in the three domains of life by providing detailed information on which taxa are present in microbial assemblages. However, it is still unclear how the relative abundance of specific taxa gathered by HTS correlates with cell abundances. Here, we quantified the relative cell abundance of 6 picoeukaryotic taxa in 13 planktonic samples from 6 European coastal sites using epifluorescence microscopy on tyramide signal amplification-fluorescencein situhybridization preparations. These relative abundance values were then compared with HTS data obtained in three separate molecular surveys: 454 sequencing of the V4 region of the 18S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) using DNA and RNA extracts (DNA-V4 and cDNA-V4) and Illumina sequencing of the V9 region (cDNA-V9). The microscopic and molecular signals were generally correlated, indicating that a relative increase in specific 18S rDNA was the result of a large proportion of cells in the given taxa. Despite these positive correlations, the slopes often deviated from 1, precluding a direct translation of sequences to cells. Our data highlighted clear differences depending on the nucleic acid template or the 18S rDNA region targeted. Thus, the molecular signal obtained using cDNA templates was always closer to relative cell abundances, while the V4 and V9 regions gave better results depending on the taxa. Our data support the quantitative use of HTS data but warn about considering it as a direct proxy of cell abundances.IMPORTANCEDirect studies on marine picoeukaryotes by epifluorescence microscopy are problematic due to the lack of morphological features and due to the limited number and poor resolution of specific phylogenetic probes used in fluorescencein situhybridization (FISH) routines. As a consequence, there is an increasing use of molecular methods, including high-throughput sequencing (HTS), to study marine microbial diversity. HTS can provide a detailed picture of the taxa present in a community and can reveal diversity not evident using other methods, but it is still unclear what the meaning of the sequence abundance in a given taxon is. Our aim is to investigate the correspondence between the relative HTS signal and relative cell abundances in selected picoeukaryotic taxa. Environmental sequencing provides reasonable estimates of the relative abundance of specific taxa. Better results are obtained when using RNA extracts as the templates, while the region of 18S ribosomal DNA had different influences depending on the taxa assayed.

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.

In a recent commentary, Amann and Rosselló-Mórab summarize how the census of Bacteria and Archaea has changed over time (1). For decades, the number of recognized microbial taxa was underestimated owing to limitations associated with culture-based methods and the rules of nomenclature. The authors describe a "quantum leap" in the estimates of global microbial diversity following advances in high-throughput sequencing technology. Despite this, Amann and Rosselló-Mórab project that a complete census of microbial diversity will be reached within a few years culminating in the lower millions of taxa (1). While perhaps attractively optimistic to some, this presumption is misleading for the following reasons.

The Relationship

Abstract Background Atractylodes lancea is a traditional Chinese medicine, which typically requires more than 3–4 years of continuous cropping to obtain the underground medicinal components. With continuous cropping years, the quality and yields of A. lancea medicinal materials decrease, while pests and diseases increase. These aspects are intimately correlated with rhizospheric microorganisms. Methods This research paper employed high-throughput sequencing for its detection in soil that was cultivated for three years and never cultivated to clarify the relationship between the microbial diversity of the rhizosphere and continuous A. lancea cropping. Results The rhizosphere microbial community was altered following the continuous cropping of A. lancea. The bacterial diversity and richness were observed to decrease, while the fungal community diversity increased, and richness decreased. The total OUTs of the soil bacteria and fungi of unplanted and planted A. lancea were 59.58% and 37.65%, respectively. At the phylum level, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, Acidobacteria and Chloroflexi decreased, whereas the relative abundance of Mortierellomycota increased. At the genus level, Bradyrhizobium, Striaticonidium, Dactylonectria, Sphingomonas, Burkholderiaceae, Rhodanobacter, Arthrobacter, Scleroderma, Mortierella and Penicillium were significantly different between the two sample groups. Conclusions Our results revealed that following the cultivation of A. lancea, the rhizospheric microbial community was altered. This study preliminarily determined the
