Abstract
Within fermented-meat products, coagulase-negative cocci are
considered to be an important bacterial group possessing
several metabolic traits that contribute to the quality and stability
of the end-products. Despite their history of use as starter
cultures, in-depth analysis of their ecological functioning within
the fermented-meat matrix is limited. Recent advances in omics
technologies have opened up interesting avenues for such
research. While amplicon-based sequencing and metagenomics
have facilitated an unprecedented level of taxonomic profiling of
this bacterial group, important knowledge gaps remain regarding
their metabolism and functioning within the dynamic microbiota
associated with fermented meats. This review offers
perspectives on how the integrated use of omics approaches
can fill in such gaps and aid in a more rational selection of starter
candidates for future research.
