Abstract: Objective: Different microbes were isolated from Kombucha samples collected in Fujian, and different microbial combinations were fermented to produce Kombucha. Method: The isolated microbes were identified by morphologicalobservation and molecularbiology methods. The ingredients and sense of Kombucha fermented with different microbial combinations and traditional brewing were compared. Results: Three types of yeasts including Saccharomyces cerevisiae,Zygosaccharomycesbailiiand Candida parapsilosis, and three types of acetic acid bacteria including Gluconacetobacter sp.,Acetobacter sp. and Gluconacetobacterhansenii were isolated from Kombucha samples. Candida parapsilosis and Gluconacetobacterhansenii were isolated from Kombucha for the first time. The Kombucha fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Gluconacetobacter sp. and Lactobacillus plantarumnot only had the sweet and sour suitable, mellow and refreshing flavor, but also had various functional components. And the fermentation period was shortened from 10 d to 56 h.Conclusion: The content of functional components of Kombucha fermented with different combinations of strains is different. This may be due to the bacteria at different growth state during fermentation, thus affecting the synthesis of metabolites.
