Abstract: During the long-term storage of Nongxiangxing Daqu, its microbial community structure and metabolic activities have undergone complex changes. In order to explore the changing rules and reasons, the microbial community composition of the QP (represents the surface of Daqu, marked as QP below) and the QX (represents the interior of Daqu, marked as QX below) during storage was obtained by high-throughput sequencing technology, and the changes of saccharifying power and liquefaction power were analyzed, as well as the volatile flavor substances were studied by headspace solid phase microextraction gas chromatography mass spectrometry, then the formation mechanism of Daqu microbial flora and the cause of metabolite change during storage were explored by constructing a phylogenetic null model combined with multivariate statistical analysis. The results showed that during the storage of Nongxiangxing Daqu, the microbial community of Daqu was rebalanced, and the enzyme activity and volatile compounds were further enriched and transformed; At the same time, the construction of microbial communities is dominated by stochastic processes, and also affected by deterministic processes, in which heterogeneous selection plays a major role, and niche width differences also have a certain impact; The changes of saccharifying power, liquefaction power and flavor substances of Daqu are closely related to the succession of microbial community. The research results revealed the change rule and mechanism of microorganism, enzyme activity and volatile metabolites during the storage of Daqu, which could provide theoretical basis for the quality control of Daqu.
