BACKGROUND Jiuqu are vital saccharifying and fermenting agents for Chinese fermented foods. Natural ventilation during Jiuqu fermentation causes changes in temperature, oxygen and moisture content, and result in mass and heat gradients from the outer to inner areas of Jiuqu blocks. Here the microbiota stratification in Jiuqu was investigated by single molecule real-time sequencing and culture isolation. The contributors of Bacillus to amylase activity of Jiuqu and the dynamics of their biomass during Jiuqu fermentation were also analyzed. RESULTS The dominant orders, genera and species between the inner and outer layers of Huangjiu qu (HJQ) were similar, but they displayed greater variance in two layers of Baijiu qu (BJQ). Bacillus possessed the highest diversity (including 27 species) in Jiuqu. B. licheniformis, B. altitudinis, B. subtilis, B. amyloliquefaciens and B. megaterium were most prevalent in HJQ while B. licheniformis, B. amyloliquefaciens and B. cereus were dominant in BJQ. Isolates of B. amyloliquefaciens, B. subtilis and B. cereus exhibited high activities of amylase and glucoamylase. Quantification of Bacillus members possessing genes of α-amylase revealed B. cereus and B. licheniformis were the most dominant microbes to secret α-amylase in Jiuqu and their biomass were increasing during Jiuqu fermentation. CONCLUSION This study illustrates the microbial distribution in different layers of Jiuqu and clarify the Bacillus species processing the activity of α-amylase. These results will help industries control the quality of Jiuqu by rationally selecting starters and optimizing their microbiota. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
