Comparative analysis of metagenomics between high- and medium-temperature daqu, and microbial succession in Jiang-Nong Jianxiang Baijiu fermentation

Our research revealed the difference in microbial communities between high-temperature Daqu and medium-temperature Daqu, and demonstrated the shifts and functionality of microbiota during Jiang-Nong Jianxiang Baijiu fermentation. This study provides a theoretical reference for utilizing core synergistic microbiota and their functional traits in Baijiu fermentation starters to improve Baijiu quality.
