The microbial community in vinegar has primarily been investigated by analyzing short reads to determine operational taxonomic units, but it is also crucial to identify metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). In this study, the microbial diversity and functionality in Sichuan Baoning vinegar were examined through deep metagenomic sequencing and metagenomic binning. Results revealed that the most prevalent phylum was Firmicutes, followed by Proteobacteria and unclassified Bacteria. The most abundant bacterial species was
