However, insufficient moisture impedes nutrient uptake, hinders microbial growth and enzyme production, affecting the fermentation effect of cigar tobacco leaves (Zhang et al, 2024b)
The alpha diversity of microorganisms was significantly higher in the air-curing stage than in the fermentation stage, with Pseudomonas , Bacteroides , Vibrio , Alternaria , Proteobacteria , Monographella , Bipolaris , and Aspergillus playing an important role in the improvement of cigar quality
The average life cycle will take 6-8 weeks depending on humidity and temperature
FDA, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and local and state authorities have also been investigating the supply chain of ENDS associated with EVALI
