New Research on Microbial Interactions in Daqu

Recently, Professor Wu Zhongde's team from Sichuan University, in collaboration with the National Solid-State Brewing Engineering Technology Research Center, published a research paper titled "metabolic interactions drive microbial community succession and functional expression of Nongxiangxing (Strong-flavor) daqu (浓香型大曲微生物间的代谢相互作用)" in the international authoritative journal Journal of Advanced Research.
