“…According to previous reports, Sampaiozyma was the common dominant fungus at all four tobacco processing stages (before uecuring, after ue-curing, before redrying and after redrying), and the relative abundance at the four processing stages was 44.27%, 37.87%, 24.12% and 46.12%, respectively [16] . Some studies [17][18][19][20] have proven that Sampaiozyma is a wild yeast in the sediments of soil and lakes and can produce extracellular enzymes such as amylase, lipase, chitinase, and pectinase. Sampaiozyma may play a role in the process of disrupting plant defence barriers during pathogenic infestation by releasing extracellular enzymes, which can be further studied.…”
