Abstract:

In order to improve quality control technology, decrease total number of bacteria and ensure food safety during the processing of raw seafoods into commercial products, the investigation on bacterial diversity of salted mudsnail and crab paste was performed based on molecular biological principles. The results indicated that 21 bacterial species in salted mudsnail were detected and the predominant bacterium was identified as Psychrophilic bacilli (Psychrobacter sp.). Totally 12 bacterial species were detected in crab paste and the predominant bacterium was identified as Staphylococcus equorum.

Key words: mudsnail, crab paste, 16S rDNA, bacterial diversity
