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: 5Determination of Bacterial Diversity of Propolis Microbiota(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2023) Omeroglu, Esra Ersoy; Arserim-Ucar, Dilhun Keriman; Yegin, Zeynep; Caglayan, Nevzat; Yurt, Mediha Nur Zafer; Tasbasi, Behiye Busra; Sudagidan, MertPropolis is a natural resinous mixture produced by the excretions of honeybees. PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA gene region was achieved using DNA of pre-enriched propolis samples collected from Apis mellifera production hives (n=37) in Eastern Turkiye (Bingol and its regions). Next-generation sequencing and metabarcoding techniques were used to identify bacterial communities in propolis samples. Firmicutes dominated the phylum structure, with Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Tenericutes, and Spirochaetes following. The top three bacterial families were Bacillaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, and Enterococcaceae. Bacillus (dominantly B. badius and B. thermolactis at the species level) was recognized at the genus level, followed by Enterococcus and Clostridium sensu stricto. Our study comprehensively identified the bacterial diversity of propolis samples. Further investigations targeting to enlighten the microbiota of propolis and its potential application fields are required to gain better insight into ecological, nutritional, and medicinal perspectives.
