Abstract
The Chinese strong aroma-type liquor ( Baijiu ) fermentation environment is a typical medium-chain fatty acid-producing system with complex nutrients. Although several studies have revealed the correlation between microbial community composition and abiotic factors, the adaptation mechanisms of dominant species to abiotic environment are still unknown in this special anaerobic habitat.
