Abstract

Metagenomic approaches are highly valuable in food microbiology, particularly for the investigation of traditional fermented products such as dangke buffalo milk cheese from South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Buffalo milk, a primary raw material, contains diverse biochemical and bioactive components that are produced by microbial activity during fermentation. Unlike conventional culture-based techniques, metagenomics enables the comprehensive characterization of microbial communities directly from food matrices. This study aimed to identify the key microbial taxa that contribute to the dangke quality of fermentation and to understand the factors influencing it. Bacterial 16S rRNA genes were amplified using primers 27F and 1492R under optimized polymerase chain reaction conditions. DNA concentrations were measured with NanoDrop and Qubit instruments, and sequencing was conducted using Oxford Nanopore Technology with MinKNOW software (v23.04.5). Metagenomic analysis revealed Enterococcus faecium as the dominant lactic acid bacterium across all dangke samples (P1–P3), emphasizing its crucial role in fermentation and probiotic potential. These findings suggest that E. faecium can enhance the quality and functional properties of dangke. Moreover, metagenomic tools can support the development of standardized fermentation practices and microbial safety assessments for traditional dairy products.

Abstract

The insulin-like growth factor binding-protein 7 (IGFBP7) gene is one of the potential genes related to meat quality. The objective of the current study was to evaluate polymorphism of the IGFBP7 gene (g.72351183A>C) and its association with meat quality traits in the Javanese thin-tailed (JTT) sheep. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on 88 JTT male sheep to examine their fatty acid composition, carcass characteristics, carcass retail cuts, and the physical properties of lamb meat. The polymorphism was detected using the PCR-RFLP technique. The association between the IGFBP7 gene polymorphism and the observed variables of meat quality was evaluated using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study results indicated that the IGFBP7 gene was polymorphic in JTT sheep population, with the allele distribution conforming to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The AA genotype was found to be predominant. The IGFBP7 gene variants were associated (p<0.05) with erucic acid, linoleic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and total polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). Sheep possesing the CC genotype exhibited the highest levels of linoleic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and total PUFA in comparison to those with AA and AC genotypes. However, the IGFBP7 gene polymorphism was not associated with carcass characteristics, carcass retail cuts, and physical properties of meat. These findings suggest that the IGFBP7 gene is a promising candidate marker for improving fatty acid composition in JTT sheep.
