Microbial community of air-cured tobacco leaves
The microbial community of a high converter line of the Burley tobacco variety TN90H cured under variable conditions of temperature and relative humidity was assessed using the Illumina MiSeq platform to investigate potential microbial agents in the formation of the tobacco-specific nitrosamine (TSNA) N-nitrosonornicotine (NNN), a carcinogenic compound found in cured tobacco products
