Aim: To characterize microbial communities present in natural rubber (NR) coagula from Hevea brasiliensis latex during maturation and identify microbial taxa (bacteria and fungi) having an impact on dry NR properties. Methods and Results: Microbial community dynamics in NR coagula maturated under controlled conditions were compared and related with the evolution of dry NR properties. The ...
