Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes Analysis Illuminates Key Pathways in Bacteria and Fungi of Camel Milk

Abstract

Yan Liu

Amidst the arid landscapes where the Bactrian camel thrives, a concealed realm of microbial interactions within its milk comes to life. The complexities of this microbial tapestry have recently been unveiled as scientists explore the diverse microorganisms present in Bactrian camel milk and their evolution during natural fermentation. This expedition into the microbial domain not only unveils subtle transformations in microbial communities but also illuminates changes within groups of microorganisms associated with both foodborne diseases and environmental factors. These revelations carry profound significance for traditional camel milk consumption practices and the potential development of products derived from camel milk. Within the core of Bactrian camel milk exists a miniature universe of life, where a delicate interplay of microorganisms influences the milk's composition and characteristics.
