Since doenjang quality depends on the bacterial composition, which ambient bacteria in the environment and production conditions influence, a complete understanding of the bacteria community in traditionally madetraditionally made doenjang (TMD) from different regions is needed. We aimed to investigate the bacteria composition and quality of TMD in the following areas: Chonbuk (CB), Chonnam (CN), Kyungsang (KS), Kangwon (KW), Chungchung (CC) provinces, and Jeju island (JJ) of Korea. Twenty-nine TMD samples from different regions were used to assess biogenic amine contents, bacteria composition using next-generation methods, and metabolic functions of the bacteria using Picrust2. Bacillus spp. were isolated, and their antioxidant and fibrinolytic activities were determined. Most TMD contained high amounts of beneficial bacteria ( Bacillus , Lactobacillus , Pediococcus and Weissella ). However, some KS samples contained harmful bacteria ( Cronobacter , Proteus and Acinetobacter ) and less beneficial B. velezensis bacteria. There was no similarity among the regional groups, and each TMD showed a different bacteria composition. Shannon index, α-diversity index, was lower in TMD from JJ and CB than the other areas, but there was no β-diversity among TMD from the six area groups. Picrust2 analysis revealed that the functional potential for arachidonic acid metabolism was lowest in JJ and CN, that for supporting insulin action was highest in KS and JJ, and that for carbohydrate digestion and absorption was lowest in CB and JJ among all groups ( p &lt; 0.05) according to the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes Orthology. Histamine contents were lower in CN and CC, and tyramine contents did not differ significantly. B. velezensis , B. subtilis , B. licheniformis , B. siamensis , and B. amyloliquefaciens were isolated from TMD. None of the isolated Bacillus spp. contained the B. cereus gene. B. subtilis from CN had the highest fibrinolytic activity, and B. velezensis from CB had the highest antioxidant activity. In conclusion, TMD mainly contained various Bacillus spp., and the predominant one was B. velezensis , which had antioxidant and fibrinolytic activity regardless of the regional origin.
