Isolation and evaluation of a Bacillus altitudinis strain to improve cigar tobacco leaves fermentation
<i>Bacillus altitudinis</i> effectively improved cigar tobacco quality by promoting nitrogen compound degradation and modulating microbial metabolism to enhance aroma development. These findings support its potential as a bioaugmentation agent in industrial cigar fermentation. Further genomic and enzymatic studies are warranted to elucidate its functional mechanisms and facilitate large-scale application.
