Abstract
Omics technologies are a set of systematic methods consisting of tools and applications used to investigate genes, DNA, RNA, proteins and metabolites. In recent years, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics have been mainly utilized in the identification and determination of microorganisms. Within the scope of genomic and transcriptomics studies, next generation sequencing systems and bioinformatics tools are used together to determine the genome sequences of microorganisms and gene expression analysis, respectively. In this study, shotgun metagenomics, the culture-independent method, and culture-dependent culturomics approach that allows identification of microorganisms are emphasized for the detection of white cheese microbiota. The study has been emphasized the importance of researching traditional food products such as white cheese by evaluating new techniques in the future. Innovative techniques such as culturomics and metagenomics can enable the study of traditional food products to be studied with less uncertainty on the microbiota identification.
