Abstract
⺠Daqu is a Chinese traditional fermentation starter for alcoholic fermentation. ⺠We examine its microbiota by culture-dependent and culture-independent approaches. ⺠The combined approaches revealed more species than either single one. ⺠Major microbiota included bacteria, yeasts and filamentous fungi. ⺠The abundance of Bacillus licheniformis distinguishes Daqu from other Asian wine starters.
