BoziarisAbstractBacterial communities and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) profile of deepwater rose shrimp (Parapenaeus longirostris) stored at 0 °C (ice) and 4 °C were investigated using 16S amplicon based sequencing and Solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) - Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), respectively. The shelf-life of shrimps determined by sensory assessment was 5 and 2 days at 0 °C and 4 °C, respectively. Based on 16S analysis (culture-independed), the initial microbiota of shrimps mainly consists of Photobacterium, Candidatus Hepatoplasma, Psychrobacter, Acinetobacter and Delftia. Psychrobacter and Carnobacterium dominated during storage at both temperatures. Psychrobacter was the most dominant taxon at the end of shelf-life of chill-stored shrimps. A minor microbial population composed by Brevundimonas, Stenotrophomonas, Staphylococcus, Legionella, Acinetobacter, Bacillus, Escherichia-Shigella, Enterococcus, Enterobacter, Klebsiella was also detected. Those taxa may be originated from the environment due to an inadequate hygienic practice during fishing, handling and icing. VOCs such as ethanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, indole etc., were found to be associated with shrimps at...
