Through continuous observation and experimental design, understanding the long-term impact of microorganisms on catechin composition can reveal the relationship between microorganisms and various stages of tea growth, fermentation, and processing, providing theoretical guidance for optimizing tea cultivation and processing. Strategies to manipulate microbial communities for enhanced catechin synthesis should be explored. By altering soil environments, introducing beneficial microorganisms, or applying microbial fertilizers, it is possible to modulate the composition and abundance of microbial communities, thereby enhancing catechin synthesis efficiency and tea quality. This will provide crucial technological support and innovative directions for the development of the tea industry. 5.3 Strategies for manipulating microbial communities to enhance catechin synthesis One of the future research directions is to explore strategies for manipulating microbial communities to enhance catechin synthesis (Liang et al., 2021, Yunnan Agricultural Science and Technology, (6): 16-18). The synthesis of catechins can be influenced by adjusting the composition and abundance of microbial communities by changing the soil environment, introducing beneficial microorganisms or applying microbial fertilizers. Further studies can explore the effects of different microbial combinations on catechin synthesis and find the best microbial regulatory strategies to improve the yield and quality of catechin in Biluochun tea. 6 Conclusion Microbial community plays a key role in Biluochun tea. Studies have found that there are rich and diverse microbial communities in tea, including bacteria, fungi and yeast, etc., which are closely related to catechin synthesis in tea (Yang et al., 2015). The species and abundance of microorganisms have significant effects on catechin synthesis, and there is a positive correlation between specific microbial communities and catechin content, suggesting that these microorganisms may be involved in the catechin synthesis process. The presence and relative abundance of different microbial communities may lead to differences in the type and content of catechins in tea. The results of this study highlight the importance of microorganisms in the synthesis of catechins in Biluochun tea. Microorganisms can influence the yield and composition of catechins in tea by participating in the biotransformation process of catechins. Understanding the mechanism of microbial influence on catechin synthesis will help to better understand the formation process of tea quality (Zhang, 2022). In addition, the synthesis of catechins in Biluochun tea by microorganisms has potential application and commercial significance. By manipulating the microbial community, the synthesis process of catechins can be regulated to optimize the quality and functional composition of tea. This provides important scientific basis and technical support for tea planting and tea processing industry, and helps to improve the market competitiveness and added value of tea.
