Insights into the Composition and Function of Virus Communities During Acetic Acid Fermentation of Shanxi Aged Vinegar

Viruses play a regulatory role in microbial ecology. Traditional fermented foods have com- plex fermentation environments with abundant viral participation, yet current research on viral communities in fermented foods remains insufficient. Traditional, manually produced solid-state fermented vinegar serves as an excellent model for studying the role of viral communities in fermented foods. Using metagenomic approaches, this study investigates the structure and dynamics of viral communities...
