What is Microbiomic Profiling of Food Processing Environments and Foods for Food Safety and Quality about?

## Key Points • The microbiome is defined as the population of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses, algae, protozoa) that occupy a common space • Microbiomes of a given food or environment can be investigated using amplicon sequencing of signature genes targeting specific organisms or through shotgun sequencing-based metagenomic analysis of whole microbial communities • Ecological investigations using microbiomics enable community profiling without prior knowledge of the sample's content • Microbiomic profiles provide information on identity of community members, the proportion of the total population that they represent in the environment, and with some approaches, information on the functional diversity of community members • Microbiomic profiles of foods or processing plants can provide actionable information that can be leveraged for process control and improvements in product quality and safety • Microbiomics and culture need not be mutually exclusive. Distinct advantages may be realized through integrated use of both.
