Abstract: In this study, we adopted Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing technology to sequence the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene of bacteria in Qula samples from the southern area of Gansu province, and analyzed the diversity and community structure of bacteria in Qula through α diversity, species composition and β diversity analysis. The results showed that Qula samples from different pastoral households differed in terms of bacterial community composition. Firmicutes and Proteobacteria were the dominant phyla. Lactobacillus, Acetobacter and Lactococcus were the dominant genera. The functional genes of bacteria in the samples showed that the bacterial communities from different sources were different. The results can provide a theoretical basis for the utilization and food safety of Qula.

Key words: Qula, high-throughput sequencing, bacterial diversity
