Abstract
Washing rice water (WRW) refers to the sewage produced by rice washing in China and other parts of Asia people's daily life. As in the WRW is rich a variety of nutrients, microorganisms are prone to multiply and pollute the environment. In this article, high-throughput sequencing is used to describe the microbial diversity in different fermentation time WRW. The results showed that the sequencing depth effectively covered the microbial species in the samples, and the bacterial community structure in the samples of WRW at different fermentation periods was rich in diversity. Preominant taxa included Proteobacteria (62%), Firmicutes (28%), approximately Cyanobacteria (10%) and Bacteroidetes (0.5%). The core WRW microbiome comprises Trabulsiella, Pseudomonas, Serratia, Lactobacillus, Erwinia, Enterobacter, Clostridium and Acinetobacter, some of which are potential beneficial microbes. The change of microbial community composition with the change of habitat was assessed. It was found that environmental factors had significant influence on the assembly structure of microbial community.
