■雪茄烟草的空气固化过程,作为提高雪茄质量的关键一步,通常容易受到霉菌孢子的污染,这严重制约了雪茄烟草的质量。
■这项研究采用了高通量Illumina测序技术和连续流分析系统来分析霉菌和健康雪茄烟叶的微生物群落和理化成分之间的差异。此外,进行相关分析,揭示霉菌对雪茄烟叶质量的影响。
■分析了发霉(MC)和健康(HC)烟叶的微生物区系和理化组成之间的差异,揭示了两组之间的显著差异。曲霉属。代表了MC中的主导模具,十二个孤立的霉菌中有九个在MC上显示出比HC上更高的数量。霉菌污染显著降低了总氮(TN),总磷(TP),总生物碱(TA),淀粉,蛋白质,和风味成分,同时增加总脂肪酸酯(TFAA),伴随着叶片中pH向弱酸性的转变。真菌群落分析表明,MC中真菌操作分类单位(OUT)数量和多样性指数显着减少,与细菌趋势相反。曲霉在MC中表现出明显较高的相对丰度,LEfSe分析将其确定为分化的主要驱动因素。此外,曲霉与TP之间呈显著负相关,淀粉,TA,和蛋白质,而与TFAA呈显著正相关。网络分析强调了曲霉作为影响HC和MC之间差异的物种的关键作用,它的丰度是空气固化过程中的关键决定因素。
■这项研究阐明了空气固化过程中MC和HC之间的实质性质量差异,曲霉是导致叶片霉菌的关键物种。
UNASSIGNED: The air-curing process of cigar tobacco, as a key step in enhancing the quality of cigars, is often susceptible to contamination by
mold spores, which severely constrains the quality of cigar tobacco.
UNASSIGNED: This study employed high-throughput Illumina sequencing technology and a continuous flow analysis system to analyze the differences between the microbial communities and physicochemical components of moldy and healthy cigar tobacco leaves. Furthermore, correlation analysis was performed to reveal the impact of
mold on the quality of cigar tobacco.
UNASSIGNED: The differences between the microbial flora and physicochemical compositions of moldy (MC) and healthy (HC) tobacco leaves were analyzed, revealing significant disparities between the two groups. Aspergillus spp. represented the dominant
mold in MC, with nine out of twelve isolated molds showing higher quantities on MC than on HC.
Mold contamination notably decreased the total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), total alkaloids (TA), starch, protein, and flavor constituents while increasing the total fatty acid esters (TFAA), which was accompanied by a shift towards weakly acidic pH in the leaves. Fungal community analysis indicated a significant reduction in the fungal operational taxonomic unit (OUT) numbers and diversity indices in MC, contrasting with the bacterial trends. Aspergillus exhibited significantly higher relative abundance in MC, with LEfSe analysis pinpointing it as the primary driver of differentiation. Furthermore, significant negative correlations were observed between Aspergillus and TP, starch, TA, and protein, while a significant positive association was evident with TFAA. Network analysis underscored the pivotal role of Aspergillus as the species influencing disparities between HC and MC, with its abundance serving as a critical determinant during the air-curing process.
UNASSIGNED: This study elucidated substantial quality distinctions between MC and HC during air-curing, with Aspergillus emerging as the key species contributing to leaf
mold.
