Research Progress on High-Throughput Sequencing for Analyzing the Diversity of Lactic Acid Bacteria Communities
Lactic acid bacteria are widely used to produce various foods and raw feeds,and have special contributions to the flavor and texture of fermented products.In addition,specific lactic acid bacteria strains are considered probiotics for their health promotion effect on consumers.In recent years,with the vigorous development of sequencing technology,sequencing lactic acid bacteria genomes to comprehensively understand the diversity of lactic acid bacteria metabolites and predict the functions of related genes has brought unprecedented opportunities for the exploration and application of lactic acid bacteria.This article reviews the application of high-throughput sequencing technology in lactic acid bacteria diversity analysis and functional gene detection,providing a reference for functional development of lactic acid bacteria,analysis of metabolites,and application directions.
