Unveiling the Microbial Signatures of Arabica Coffee Cherries: Insights into Ripeness Specific Diversity, Functional Traits, and Implications for Quality and Safety

Abstract excerpt

Arabica coffee, one of the most valuable crop commodities, harbors diverse microbial communities with unique genetic and functional traits that influence bean safety and final coffee quality. In Ecuador, coffee production faces challenges due to the spread of pathogenic organisms across cultivars, leading to reduced yields and compromised quality. This study employed a shotgun metagenomic approach to characterize...
