Effect of combined bacteria on the flax dew degumming process: Substance degradation sequence and changes in functional bacteria taxa

Xiujun Tu et al.Jun 5, 2024
In this study, 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy techniques were used to analyze the mechanisms driving the sequence of degradation of gummy substances by the microbial community and hydrolytic enzymes during the flax dew degumming process. The results revealed that the inoculation of combined bacteria induced quorum sensing, modulated hydrolytic enzyme production, and reshaped the community structure. Lignin-degraded genera (Pseudomonas and Sphingobacterium) were enriched, and the relative abundances of pectin- and cellulose-degraded genera (Chryseobacterium) decreased in the early degumming stages. Hemicellulose-degraded genera (Brevundimonas) increased over the degumming time. Moreover, the abundance of lignin hydrolytic enzymes improved in the early stages, while the abundance of pectin hydrolytic enzymes increased at the end of degumming. Various types of functional bacteria taxa changed the sequence of substance degradation. Electron scanning microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry results indicated that the degumming, facilitated by the inoculation of combined bacteria, was nearly completed by 21 d. The fibers exhibited smoother and more intact properties, along with higher thermal stability, as indicated by a melting temperature of 71.54 Â°C. This study provides a reference for selecting precise degumming bacterial agents to enhance degumming efficiency.
