RNA-Seq transcriptomic analysis reveals gene expression profiles of acetic acid bacteria under high-acidity submerged industrial fermentation process

In this study, we performed an RNA-Seq transcriptomic analysis concerning acetic acid bacteria's acid resistance mechanisms during a continuous and periodical industrial submerged vinegar fermentation process, where the acetic acid concentration fluctuates between ~8% and ~12% Overall design: Samples were directly taken from the initial (CK), mid and final stages of the same period of the on-going fermentation.
