The dynamics of microbial community structure and metabolic function in different parts of cigar tobacco leaves during air-curing by Wenlong Li, Wenlong Li, Jun Yu, Jun Yu, Hao Li, Hao Li, Chunlei Yang, Chunlei Yang, Zheng Peng, Zheng Peng, Juan Zhang, Juan Zhang

“…Microbial community diversity analysis indicated that species richness and diversity were significantly higher during the fresh leaf and withering periods. Functional prediction based on PICRUSt2 suggested that the microbial communities in the middle leaves exhibited higher abundances of metabolic pathways related to carbohydrates and amino acids than those in the upper leaves, potentially leading to the formation of more flavor compounds. …”
