Analysis of Fungal Diversity in Chinese-scale Fermented Sichuan Pickles
Sichuan pickle is one of the four famous pickled vegetables.To understand its fungal diversity,18S rRNA libraries are constructed and ARDRA technology is applied for the four kinds of different materials of pickles (turnip,cowpea,green vegetable and mustard tuber).The results show that a total of 724 positive clones are studied and 9 groups are obtained.The main advantage fungi are Debaryomyces,Debaryomyces and Starmerella, Debaryomyces, Starmerella, Debaryomyces and Candida in turnip,cowpea,green vegetable and mustard tuber respectively.The secondary advantage fungi are Zygosaccharomyces,Pichia and Halophytophthora,et al.The research results reveal the microbial diversity in Sichuan pickles;reflect the difference of microbial community structure in different materials.It could provide certain theoretical basis for revealing the fermentation mechanism of pickle,the formation mechanism of gust factor and the industrialized production.
