Monitoring the microbiome for food safety and quality using deep shotgun sequencing

npj Science of Food, 2021
In this work, we hypothesized that shifts in the food microbiome can be used as an indicator of unexpected contaminants or environmental changes. To test this hypothesis, we sequenced the total RNA of 31 high protein powder (HPP) samples of poultry meal ...
