Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2A Metagenomic Survey of Bacterial Communities From Kurut: the Fermented Cow Milk in Kyrgyzstan(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2024) Yegin, Zeynep; Mamatova, Zhanylbubu; Yurt, Mediha Nur Zafer; Tasbasi, Behiye Busra; Acar, Elif Esma; Ucak, Samet; Sudagidan, MertKurut is a traditional dry dairy product mostly consumed in Central Asia. In this study, the distribution of the dominant bacteria present in kurut samples (n=84) originated from seven (Chuy, Issyk-Kul, Talas, Naryn, Jalal-Abad, Osh, and Batken) regions in Kyrgyzstan were analyzed with Illumina iSeq100 platform. The dominant phylum detected was Firmicutes followed by Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Cyanobacteria/Chloroplast, and Tenericutes. The most abundant family detected was Lactobacillaceae followed by Streptococcaceae, Enterococcaceae, Chloroplast, and Leuconostocaceae. At the genus level, Lactobacillus was the predominant one in samples and Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Lactococcus, and Streptophyta followed this. Further comprehensive characterization analyses in kurut samples may have potential applications both in industrial starter culture developments and also future therapeutic approaches based on potential strains with probiotic properties. imageArticle Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Bacterial and Fungal Microbiota of Mould-Ripened Cheese Produced in Konya(Wiley, 2023) Yurt, Mediha Nur Zafer; Omeroglu, Esra Ersoy; Tasbasi, Behiye Busra; Acar, Elif Esma; Altunbas, Osman; Ozalp, Veli Cengiz; Sudagidan, MertBacterial and fungal diversities of 24 mould-ripened cheeses originating from Konya-Turkiye were examined by metagenomic analysis. Firmicutes phylum, Enterococcus, Clostridium sensu stricto and Lactobacillus (Levilactobacillus) genera were the dominant bacteria. Ascomycota phylum and Penicillium and Pichia genera and Penicillium roqueforti and Pichia membranifaciens species were dominant fungi. Enterococcus faecium (n = 30) and Enterococcus faecalis (n = 6) were identified, and all strains were susceptible to penicillin, ampicillin, vancomycin, teicoplanin, chloramphenicol and linezolid. The highest resistance (n = 14) was against rifampin. Tetracycline resistance was determined in two strains. Biofilm-forming ability was found in nine E. faecium and 1 E. faecalis. E. faecium strains revealed 40-88.9%, and E. faecalis showed 59.2-100% homology by pulsed field gel electrophoresis.
