Study on Spoilage Microorganism of Cabbage During Storage

[Objectives]This study was conducted to investigate the spoilage microorganisms in the storage process of Chinese flowering cabbage.[Methods]Pathogenic bacteria were separated and purified from rotted Chinese flowering cabbage during storage.The gradient dilution culture method and streaking purification method were applied to selectively cultivate spoilage microorganisms for separation and observation.The isolated strains were identified through the ITS and sequence analysis of 16 S rDNA combined with the morphological characteristics and physiological and biochemical properties of the microbes.On the basis of morphology,combined with gene sequence analysis,the isolated pathogenic bacteria A1,A2,A3,and A4 were identified by PCR using the bacterial universal primer 16 S rDNA sequences,and B1 was amplified using the fungal universal primer ITS sequence.The gene sequences obtained by sequencing were subjected to homologous sequence alignment in the NCBI gene library to determine the biological classification of the spoilage bacteria.[Results]The results showed that the four bacteria numbered A1,A2,A3,and A4 were Klebsiella,Acinetobacter baylyi,Staphylococcus epidermidis,and Pseudomonas,respectively.The saprophytic fungus labeled B1 was Streptomyces albus.Re-contacting it to Chinese flowering cabbage caused the cabbage to rot,so it was the main saprophytic fungus that caused the cabbage to rot after picking.Therefore,the main spoilage microorganisms during storage of Chinese flowering cabbage were Klebsiella,A.baylyi,S.epidermidis,Pseudomonas,and S.albus.[Conclusions]This study provides a certain scientific basis and theoretical basis for the storage and preservation of Chinese flowering cabbage.
