Abstract:The study aimed to investigate the effect of fermentation brines and containers on the composition and functional dissimilarity of microbiota in fermented chili peppers: pool with fresh brine (PFB), pool with aged brine (PAB), jar with FB, and jar with AB. The results showed that brines had a greater impact on microbial diversity and fungal community structure than containers, whereas containers had a greater impact on bacterial community structure than brines. At the end of chili pepper fermentation, the domi… Show more
