“…It should be noted that the dominant genera found in the control showed significantly positive correlations with acetic acid, including Lactiplantibacillus (h, g1 in Supplementary Table S3), Lentilactobacillus (j, g7), Mycobacterium (b, g46), Lachnoclostridium (p, g32), Devosia (s, g28), Rhizobiaceae gen. (v, g42), Aminobacter (y, g31), and Massilia (a1, g51) at rho values of 0.50 (P = 0.007), 0.46 (P = 0.015), 0.61 (P = 0.001), 0.61 (P = 0.001), 0.44 (P = 0.081), 0.49 (P = 0.008), 0.49 (P = 0.008), and 0.46 (P = 0.013), respectively. Studies have shown that some of these genera, such as Lactiplantibacillus (Fonseca et al, 2021;García-Núñez et al, 2022;Yan et al, 2023) and Lentilactobacillus (Benjamim da Silva et al, 2023;Nishino et al, 2003), must have contributed to a significant increase in the acetic acid concentration of control (Table 1).…”
