Evaluation of microbial diversity of Jiangshui from the Ningxia Hui autonomous region in China

Jiangshui is a traditional spontaneously fermented food in Northwest China; however, there lack of relevant documentation from the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (NHAR), which an important region China. This study used MIDI microbial identification system (MIDI MIS) and found that bacteria accounted for highest proportion NHAR further gram-positive were higher than gram-negative bacteria. Fungi second-largest proportion. Furthermore, Illumina Novaseq sequencing technology was to examine bacterial diversity Jiangshui. Firmicutes Proteobacteria dominant phyla Lactobacillus genus. Also, some opportunistic pathogens minor More importantly, samples different regions fermentation time showed insignificant differences community. presents new insight community structure analysis foods.
