Fungal community discrimination in five tropical fruit peel. Fungal samples collected from conventionally produced banana peels

Fruits harbor varied microbial communities that have economic and ecological impacts. In light of the advent of modern molecular taxonomy, gene regions exclusively used as bacterial and fungal finger prints are increasingly used for microbial community discrimination. The goal of the present study was to dissect the taxonomic profile of bacterial and fungal communities colonizing five (banana, guava, mango, papaya, and passion fruit) tropical fruits peels collected from conventionally and non-conventionally produced fruits. The work provided taxonomic profile of bacterial community at class level and fungal community at phylum level with some further classification of economically important bacterial and fungal communities. The results could be used as important resource in postharvest management and further industrial extraction of bioactive and other products.

水果定殖着多样的微生物群落，此类群落兼具经济与生态效应。随着现代分子分类学的兴起，专作为细菌与真菌指纹标记的基因区域正愈发广泛地应用于微生物群落的区分鉴定。本研究旨在解析从常规种植与非常规种植的热带水果果皮（共5种：香蕉、番石榴、芒果、番木瓜、西番莲果）上定殖的细菌与真菌群落的分类学特征。本研究明确了细菌群落的纲级分类学特征与真菌群落的门级分类学特征，并对部分具有经济价值的细菌与真菌类群开展了进一步分类。本研究结果可作为采后管理以及后续工业提取生物活性物质与其他产物的重要参考资源。
