Baijiu production has relied on natural inoculated Qu as a starter culture, causing the unstable microbiota of fermentation grains, which resulted in inconsistent product quality across batches. Therefore, revealing the core microbes and constructing a synthetic microbiota during the fermentation process was extremely important for stabilizing product quality. In this study, the succession of the microbial community was analyzed by high-throughput sequencing technology, and ten core microbes of Xiaoqu light-aroma Baijiu were obtained by mathematical statistics, including Acetobacter, Bacillus, Lactobacillus, Weissella, Pichia,Rhizopus, Wickerhamomyces, Issatchenkia, Saccharomyces, and Kazachstania...
