Project description:Complex microbial metabolism is key to taste formation in high-quality fish sauce during fermentation. To guide quality supervising and targeted regulation, we analyzed the function of microbial flora during fermentation based on a previous metagenomic database. Most of the identified genes involved in metabolic functions showed an upward trend in abundance during fermentation. In total, 571 proteins extracted from fish sauce at different fermentation stages were identified. The proteins were mainly derived from Halanaerobium, Psychrobacter, Photobacterium, and Tetragenococcus. Functional annotation showed 15 pathways related to amino acid metabolism, including alanine, aspartate, glutamate, and histidine metabolism; lysine degradation; and arginine biosynthesis.

Project description:Soybeans fermented by Bacillus subtilis BJ3-2 exhibits strong ammonia taste in medium temperature below 37℃ and prominent soy sauce-like aroma moderate temperatures above 45℃. The transcriptome sequencing of Bacillus subtilis BJ3-2 (incubating at 37°C and 45°C) has been completed, screening of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) through data analysis, and analyzing their metabolic pathways, laying a foundation for exploring the regulatory mechanism of soy sauce-like aroma formation.

Project description:We investigated the effects of jeotgal (fermented fish sauce) on kimchi fermentation, with or without saeu-jeot and myeolchi-jeot. Bacterial community analysis showed that Leuconostoc, Weissella, Lactobacillus, and Tetragenococcus were the dominant genera; however, their succession depended on the presence of jeotgal. Leuconostoc gasicomitatum was the dominant species in kimchi without jeotgal, whereas Weissella koreensis and Lactobacillus sakei were the dominant species in kimchi with myeolchi-jeot and saeu-jeot, respectively. Metabolite analysis, using 1H NMR, showed that the amounts of amino acids and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) were higher in kimchi with jeotgal. Increases in acetate, lactate, and mannitol contents depended on fructose consumption and were more rapid in kimchi with jeotgal. Moreover, the consumption of various amino acids affected the increase in kimchi LAB. Thus, the role of jeotgal in kimchi fermentation was related to enhancement of taste, the amino acid source, and the increases in levels of functional metabolites.
