Abstract:

The microbial community structures of traditional fermented camel milk (shubat) from Xinjiang in China were analyzed using PCR-DGGE technique. Bacterial and yeast community exhibited 78%-84% and 80%-92% similarity among shubat samples from different regions, respectively. Through sequence analysis of V6-V8 region of 16S rDNA, the bacterial community in shubat was composed of Macrococcus caseolyticus, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus brevis, Weissella hellenica, Lactobacillus sakei, Enterococcus durans, Enterococcus faecium, Leuconostoc lactis and so on. The yeast community was identified to consist of Kluyveromyces marxianus, Kazachstania unispora, Candida ethanolica and Geotrichum sp. by comparing sequence similarity with D1 region of 26S rDNA gene. These results will provide a theoretical foundation for developing culture starter of shubat.

Key words: shubat, PCR-DGGE, microflora, lactic acid bacteria, yeast
