The production (A) and the FP (B) of strong-aroma Baijiu.
A: The concentration of rice husks is about 20% of sorghum (dry weight); the main chemical composition of the fresh grain (sorghum and rice husks) are starch (48.1–50.4%), protein (5.3–8.3%), fat (3.2–3.7%), cellulose (8.3–10.2%), lignin (4.8–6.4%), pentosan (3.2–3.4%), tannin (0.1–0.5%), etc; the concentration of fresh grain is about 20% of mixed grain (dry weight); the concentration of Daqu is about 20% of sorghum; during fermentation, the moisture content of the grain is about 55–60%. B: The solid circle (●) represent sampling sites of FPM, the FP is surrounded by FPM.

The relative FPM prokaryotic genera abundance, based on Roche 454 pyrosequencing. It includes the genera of bacteria (A) and genera of archaea (B). Variations in log2 scale-based genera abundance are shown by the scale bar, with “*” indicating the genera shared among all FPM samples that had the relative abundance >1%.

Prokaryotic community redundancy analysis (RDA) based upon Roche 454 pyrosequencing and chemical properties. The dominant community structure-related genera and the direction/magnitude of chemical properties are represented by arrows. It includes the genera of bacteria (A) and genera of archaea (B).
