Research Interest:
My research interest is Microbial Diversity in Biomass Utilization, with the focuses on feed conversion of crop residues using microorganisms. My previous work suggested that water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) is a limited factor to feed fermentation and there exists a threshold value of WSCs in straw for the successful fermentation. Now I focus on lactic acid fermentation techniques of straw feed in low-temperature region. At the same time, I also investigate the microbial diversity during suan cai (a fermented vegetable originated from Northeast) fermentation and screen the dominant microorganisms to improve fermentation quality. My present work showed thatL. curvatusis the dominant microorganism and play an important role in suan cai fermentation.
