The main characteristic of the microbiota is a wide variety of microbiological variability. However, various intrinsic and extrinsic factors can affect its composition, where alterations of it can lead to various pathologies. In particular, diets high in raw and fermented foods can modulate people's gut microbiota. In Peru, the consumption of fermented tubers, Tocosh, is characteristic and traditional Although its bacterial composition and its beneficial potential are beginning to be known, the conditions that could allow the cultivation of one or more of the coexisting species in Tocosh are unknown. In order to study how the Tocosh microbiota varies during controlled media cultures, in the present study three non-selective culture media (Luria Bertani, Brain-Heart Infussion and Nutritive Broth) were evaluated and the variation in the composition of Tocosh microbiota over time through the use of next generation sequencing (NGS) of bacterial DNA. The analysis of the initial sample of the raw tocosh used for this study presented 335 diverse species, distributed mainly in 29 phylum. The three- culture media evaluated promoted a qualitatively varied development of microbiota, showing between 14 and 61 species represented. However, the quantitative analysis showed that species that were abundant in the initial sample, Clostridium neuense group and Prevotella, decreased markedly throughout the culture time in the three media. On the contrary, our results indicate a clear predominance for the Bacillacea and Paenibacillaceae families and specifically for the Bacillus cereus species in the three media studied. In conclusion, it was evidenced that the variation of the Tocosh microbiota is affected by time and the characteristics of the culture media used. It was found that the three culture media evaluated did not favor the stable and varied growth of the Tocosh microbiota, observing a preference for the development of Bacillus cereus, initially present in the microbiota sample, and potentially harmful to health. Thus, future studies focused on the industrial development of Tocosh should pay particular attention to evaluating other factors such as temperature, pH, oxygenation, among others.
