In this study, the microbial diversity of metagenomics in naturally fermented yak milk(kurut) were investigated using barcoded pyrosequencing. A total of 3051 unique V3 variable regions of the 16S rRNA gene of bacterium and 3396 unique ITS variable regions of fungi were analyzed from two kurut samples. The results indicated that the abundance of fungi was higher than bacteria in the kurut samples. The Firmicutes and Ascomycota were the most abundant bacteria and fungi phyla in kurut samples. At genus levels, the bacteria of kurut were largely composed of the Lactobacillus while Galactomyces was the dominant genus within the fungus of kurut.
