can be divided into artificially pressed (A-) and mechanically pressed (M-) based on pressing patterns. Here, we compared the discrepancies in physicochemical properties, volatile metabolites, and microbiota features between A- and M- during fermentation and further investigated the factors causing those differences. A- microbiota was characterized by six genera (e.

Enzymes and microbiota in daqu are essential for the brewing of Nongxiangxing baijiu. Uncover the key enzymes and functional strains in daqu is beneficial to improve the flavor and quality of Nongxiangxing baijiu. In this study, metaproteome technology was employed to determine the enzyme profiles in Nongxiangxing daqu, and strains with high saccharification activity were screened and identified.

Developing an effective method with universal applicability to remove pollutants is pretty necessary. Herein, a bimetallic oxides (CoVO) heterogeneous material was successfully prepared and used to activate the persulfate (PS) for purification of tetracycline (TC) wastewater.

A Gram-stain-positive, strictly aerobic and rod-shaped bacterium, designated as 3 H-10, was isolated from a yellow water sample collected from the manufacturing process of strong flavor Chinese baijiu in Yibin region of Sichuan province (PR China). Oval endospores were formed at the subtermini of cells with swollen sporangia. The isolate was able to grow at temperatures of 20-45 °C (optimum growth at 37 °C), at pH 6.

In this work, magnetic carbon-coated cobalt oxide nanoparticles (CoO@C) were prepared by one-step annealing method and used as an adsorbent for efficient removal of TC from aqueous solution. The characteristic of the materials was studied by SEM, TEM, and XRD, revealing CoO nanoparticles (≤10 nm) were coated by carbon layer.
