Technological characterisation and probiotic traits of yeasts isolated from Sha'a, a Cameroonian maize-based traditional fermented beverage. Heliyon 2022; 8:e10850. [PMID: 36247120 PMCID: PMC9557902 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2022.e10850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 06/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The current trend in starter selection is to combine both technological and probiotic properties to standardise and make functional artisanal fermented beverages such as Sha'a whose properties are very variable due to the lack of a known starter. The objective of this work was to study technological and probiotic properties of yeasts isolated from Sha'a sold in Bamenda, Bafoussam, Bonabérie, Dschang, Foumbot, Mbouda and Njombé (Cameroon). The isolated yeasts were studied for their ability to produce CO2 from glucose, to grow in the presence of 8% ethanol, 20% glucose and pH 3, to assimilate maltose and to produce ethanol. Then, the survival of the pre-selected isolates was assessed in simulated gastric (pH 2 and 3) and intestinal juices, followed by self-aggregation, co-aggregation, hydrophobicity, haemolysin, gelatinase, biogenic amine production, antibiotic and antifungal susceptibility, bile salt hydrolase and antiradical activity. The selected isolates were identified by sequencing the 5.8S/28S rRNA gene. From the 98 isolates obtained, 66 produced CO2 from glucose and 16 were then selected for their ability to grow in the presence of 8% ethanol, 20% glucose, pH 3 and maltose. The overall survival of isolates ranged from 4.12 ± 1.63 to 104.25 ± 0.19% (LT16) and from 0.56 ± 0.20 to 96.74 ± 1.60% (LT66) at pH 3 and pH 2 respectively. All of them have remarkable surface hydrophobicity properties. Based on principal component analysis, 5 isolates were selected as the best. However, only 3 of them, LT16 (the most promising), LT25 identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and LT80 as Nakaseomyces delphensis, do not produce a virulence factor. The latter can deconjugate bile salts with a maximum percentage of 60.54 ± 0.12% (LT16) and the highest inhibition of DPPH° radicals was 55.94 ± 1.14% (LT25). In summary, the yeast flora of Sha'a contains yeasts capable of fermenting and producing ethanol while producing bioactive compounds that would benefit the consumer.

Abstract
Studies on yeasts involved in traditional sorghum beer fermentation in several African countries revealed the presence of two groups: Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces. If Saccharomyces strains were reputed for their fermentation performances, the non-Saccharomyces yeast strains have been recognized for their contribution towards the improvement of the beverage's organoleptic quality, justifying their use as aromatic starter. In spite of this contribution, most studies were focused only on Saccharomyces strains as starter. In this work, the non-Saccharomyces yeast strains found in the inoculum of traditional sorghum beer was investigated. Identification of non-Saccharomyces yeast strains by PCR-RLFP followed sequencing of D1/D2 domain revealed the presence of 2 species: Issatckenkia orientalis and Pichia kudriavzevii with Issatckenkia orientalis predominating. Out of the two species, fermentation characteristics showed that Issatckenkia orientalis seemed suitable for sorghum beer production.

Fermentation of Cereals and Legumes: Impact on Nutritional Constituents and Nutrient Bioavailability. FERMENTATION-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
Fermented food products, especially those derived from cereals and legumes are important contributors to diet diversity globally. These food items are vital to food security and significantly contribute to nutrition. Fermentation is a process that desirably modifies food constituents by increasing the palatability, organoleptic properties, bioavailability and alters nutritional constituents. This review focuses on deciphering possible mechanisms involved in the modification of nutritional constituents as well as nutrient bioavailability during the fermentation of cereals and legumes, especially those commonly consumed in developing countries. Although modifications in these constituents are dependent on inherent and available nutrients in the starting raw material, it was generally observed that fermentation increased these nutritive qualities (protein, amino acids, vitamins, fats, fatty acids, etc.) in cereals and legumes, while in a few instances, a reduction in these constituents was noted. A general reduction trend in antinutritional factors was also observed with a corresponding increase in the nutrient bioavailability and bioaccessibility. Notable mechanisms of modification include transamination or the synthesis of new compounds during the fermentation process, use of nutrients as energy sources, as well as the metabolic activity of microorganisms leading to a degradation or increase in the level of some constituents. A number of fermented products are yet to be studied and fully understood. Further research into these food products using both conventional and modern techniques are still required to provide insights into these important food groups, as well as for an overall improved food quality, enhanced nutrition and health, as well as other associated socioeconomic benefits.

Abstract
Spontaneously fermented sorghum beers remain by far the most popular traditional cereal-based alcoholic beverages in Africa. Known under various common names (traditional beers, sorghum beers, opaque, native or indigenous beers) they are also recognized under various local names depending on the region or ethnic group. Dolo and pito are two similar traditional beers popular in West African countries including Burkina Faso, Mali, Ghana, Benin, Togo, Nigeria and Ivory Coast. These low-alcoholic beers are nutritious and contribute to the nutritional balance of local populations, as well as to their socio-cultural and economic well-being. The production of African traditional beers remains one of the major economic activities, creating employment and generating substantial income that contributes to livelihoods as well as the countries' economic systems. Their processing (malting and brewing) is still artisanal, based on traditional family know-how. The brewing process involves either an acidification and an alcoholic fermentation phases, or a mixed fermentation combining LAB and yeasts. Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been identified as the dominant yeast species involved in the alcoholic fermentation, with a biodiversity at strain level. LAB involved in the processing belong to the genera of Limosilactobacillus, Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Leuconostoc, Lactococcus, Streptococcus, and Enterococcus. Molds (Aspergillus, Penicillium, Rhizopus, Geotrichum), and acetic bacteria are often associated with the malting and brewing processes. Challenges for sustainable production of African sorghum beer include inconsistent supply of raw materials, variability in product quality and safety, high energy consumption and its impact on the environment, poor packaging and short shelf-life. For sustainable and environmentally-friendly production of African sorghum beers, there is the need to assess the processing methods and address sustainability challenges. Strategies should promote wider distribution and adoption of improved sorghum varieties among farmers, prevent losses through the adoption of good storage practices of raw material, promote the adoption of improved cook stoves by the brewers, develop and adopt starter cultures for controlled fermentation, regulate the production through the establishment of quality standards and better valorize by-products and wastes to increase the competitiveness of the value chain. Appropriate packaging and stabilization processes should be developed to extend the shelf-life and diversify the channels for sustainable distribution of African cereal-based alcoholic beverages.

Abstract
In recent years, there had been growing demand for distinctive high quality beer. Fermentation management has a fundamental role in beer quality and the levels of aroma compounds. Use of non-conventional yeast has been proposed to enhance beer flavor. In this study, the bioflavor of traditional sorghum beer from Côte d'Ivoire was investigated. The flavor profile of two beers fermented with wild yeasts and with pure culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae respectively were studied. The main flavor components of the beer fermented by pure culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were different from those of the beer fermented with wild yeasts. The total level of esters and higher alcohols were (173.51 and 128.85 mg/L) respectively in the beer fermented with wild yeasts. These levels were significantly higher than those in the beer fermented with pure culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae which were 13.08 and 78.26 mg/L for higher alcohols and esters respectively. On the other hand, the beer fermented with pure culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae had an acid content higher than beer fermented with wild yeasts, i.e. 9.3 mg/L and 7.53 mg/L respectively.

Abstract
In order to phenotypically characterized Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains isolated from sorghum beer and palm wines for a possible selection of a starter culture, 30 strains were tested for killer activity, temperature resistance, ethanol tolerance, carbohydrate fermentation, enzyme profile and sorghum wort fermentation. Of the tested strains, three showed a killer profile, while four showed a neutral profile and 23 were found to be sensitive to K2 toxin. Temperatures of 40 °C and 44 °C allowed to distinguish strains into four thermal groups with only three strains may grow at 44 °C. Almost tested strains were tolerant to 5% ethanol with viability rates up to 73%. But at 10% and 15% ethanol, respectively 18 and 7 strains were tolerant. Carbohydrate fermentation revealed 13 fermentation profiles, including one typical and 12 atypical profiles. The typical profile strains (16.13% of the strains) fermented glucose, galactose, fructose, sucrose, maltose, trehalose and raffinose. Most of the strains secreted lipases (mainly esterase and esterase-lipase), proteases (mainly valine and cysteine arylamidase, chrymotrypsin) and phosphatases (mainly acid phosphatase and naphthol phosphohydrolase). On contrary, only five strains isolated from sorghum beer exhibited glucosidase activity, mainly α-glucosidase. The analyse of fermented sorghum wort revealed that fermentative performance is strain dependent. Furthermore, the Hierarchical Cluster Analysis showed that the strains were separated in three distinct clusters with the strains from sorghum beer clustered separately.

Abstract
In the industry of fermented food and beverages, yeast cultures are often selected and standardized in order to ensure a better control of fermentation and a more stable product over time. Several studies have shown that the organoleptic characteristics of fermented products reflect geographic variations of the microbial community composition. Despite investigations of the worldwide distribution and genetic diversity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it is still unclear how and to what extent human intervention has shaped the brewer’s yeast population structure. The genotypic and phenotypic characterization of environmental yeast populations and their potential application in the fermentative processes can significantly enrich the industrial fermentation products. Social insects have proven to be closely associated to the yeasts ecology. The relationships between yeasts and insects represent a fundamental aspect for understanding the ecological and evolutionary forces shaping their adaptation to different niches. Studies on phylogenetic relationships of S. cerevisiae populations showed genetic differences among strains isolated from gut and non-gut environments (i.e., natural sources and fermentation). Recent evidences showed that insect’s gut is a reservoir and an evolutionary niche for Saccharomyces, contributing to its survival and evolution, favoring its dispersion, mating and improving the inter-specific hybrids production during hibernation. Here, we discuss the potential use of social insects for production of a wide range of hybrid yeasts from environmental Saccharomyces isolates suitable for industrial and biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Traditional sorghum beer is reputed for its therapeutic virtues in according the consumers. A number of biological active compounds like phenolic compounds (phenol, tannins, flavonoids, anthocyanins), diets fibers and compounds with clinically demonstrated antimalarial activity (quinine formate, quinine dihydrochloride, chloroquine) and antioxidant activity (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl and ferric reducing-antioxidant power methods) were evaluated in sorghum wort and beers fermented by wild yeasts and pure culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The total phenol content in the samples ranged between 1254.69 ± 2.31 and 239.68 ± 11.92 μg/mL GAE. Antioxidant activity with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl analysis method was high in sorghum wort with 73.33 ± 1.15% but with ferric reducing-antioxidant power analysis method, the antioxidant activity was high in beer from pure culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. No compounds with clinically demonstrated antimalarial activity were found in the samples. At bioactive compounds (phenolic compounds) content point view, statistical analysis showed similarity between the two beers.

Abstract
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a well-known drought and climate resistant crop with vast food use for the inhabitants of Africa and other developing countries. The importance of this crop is well reflected in its embedded benefits and use as a staple food, with fermentation playing a significant role in transforming this crop into an edible form. Although the majority of these fermented food products evolve from ethnic groups and rural communities, industrialization and the application of improved food processing techniques have led to the commercial success and viability of derived products. While some of these sorghum-based fermented food products still continue to bask in this success, much more still needs to be done to further explore evolving techniques, technologies and processes. The addition of other affordable nutrient sources in sorghum-based fermented foods is equally important, as this will effectively augment the intake of a nutritionally balanced product.

Abstract
Sorghum beer (pito) is an indigenous alcoholic beverage peculiar to northern Ghana and parts of other West African countries. It is overwhelmed with calories, essential amino acids (such as lysine, etc.), B-group vitamins, and minerals. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for highly flavoured yet functional pito in Ghana; however, the local producers lack the prerequisite scientific expertise in designing such products. We propose the utilization of Tetrapleura tetraptera (TT) and Hibiscus sabdariffa (HS) as cheap and readily available materials in designing functional flavoured pito. The addition of TT and HS would not alter the fermentation profile but rather augment the starter with nutrients, thus improving the fermentation performance and shelf life of the final pito. In vitro and in vivo studies provide substantive evidence of antioxidant, nephro- and hepato-protective, renal/diuretic effect, anticholesterol, antidiabetic, and antihypertensive effects among others of the TT and HS, hence enriching the pito with health-promoting factors and consequently boosting the health of the consumer. Herein, we summarise the phytochemical, biological, pharmacological, and toxicological aspects of TT and HS as well as the technology involved in brewing the novel bioactive-flavoured pito. In addition, we also report the incidence of heavy metal in conventional pito.

Abstract
The use of appropriate yeast strains allows to better control the fermentation during beverage production. Bee products, especially of stingless bees, are poorly explored as sources of fermenting microorganisms. In this work, yeasts were isolated from honey and pollen from Tetragonisca angustula (Jataí), Nannotrigona testaceicornis (Iraí), Frieseomelitta varia (Marmelada), and honey of Apis mellifera bees and screened according to morphology, growth, and alcohol production. Bee products showed to be potential sources of fermenting microorganisms. From 55 isolates, one was identified as Papiliotrema flavescens, two Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, five Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and nine Starmerella meliponinorum. The S. cerevisiae strains were able to produce ethanol and glycerol at pH 4.0-8.0 and temperature of 10-30 °C, with low or none production of undesirable compounds, such as acetic acid and methanol. These strains are suitable for the production of bioethanol and alcoholic beverages due to their high ethanol production, similar or superior to the commercial strain, and in a broad range of conditions like as 50% (m/v) glucose, 10% (v/v) ethanol, or 500 mg L-1 of sodium metabisulfite.

Johansen PG, Owusu-Kwarteng J, Parkouda C, Padonou SW, Jespersen L. Occurrence and Importance of Yeasts in Indigenous Fermented Food and Beverages Produced in Sub-Saharan Africa. Front Microbiol 2019; 10:1789. [PMID: 31447811 PMCID: PMC6691171 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2019.01789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2019] [Accepted: 07/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Indigenous fermented food and beverages represent a valuable cultural heritage in sub-Saharan Africa, having one of the richest selections of fermented food products in the world. In many of these indigenous spontaneously fermented food and beverages, yeasts are of significant importance. Several factors including raw materials, processing methods, hygienic conditions as well as the interactions between yeasts and other commensal microorganisms have been shown to influence yeast species diversity and successions. Both at species and strain levels, successions take place due to the continuous change in intrinsic and extrinsic growth factors. The selection pressure from the microbial stress factors leads to niche adaptation and both yeast species and strains with traits deviating from those generally acknowledged in current taxonomic keys, have been isolated from indigenous sub-Saharan African fermented food products. Yeasts are important for flavor development, impact shelf life, and nutritional value and do, in some cases, even provide host-beneficial effects. In order to sustain and upgrade these traditional fermented products, it is quite important to obtain detailed knowledge on the microorganisms involved in the fermentations, their growth requirements and interactions. While other publications have reported on the occurrence of prokaryotes in spontaneously fermented sub-Saharan food and beverages, the present review focuses on yeasts considering their current taxonomic position, relative occurrence and successions, interactions with other commensal microorganisms as well as beneficial effects and importance in human diet. Additionally, the risk of opportunistic yeasts is discussed.

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY 2018; 29:2248-2259. [PMID: 30088233 DOI: 10.1007/s13361-018-2031-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2018] [Revised: 06/16/2018] [Accepted: 06/26/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF MS) is now accepted as a quick, easy-to-use, cost-effective, and accurate technique for the identification of microorganisms. However, the successful identification of microorganisms is dependent upon careful attention to factors such as growth conditions, extraction methods, mass spectral data collection, and data analysis procedures. Currently, most microorganism identification has been limited to the species level, and only a limited number of publications have been successful in achieving strain-level identification. In this work, a "cell-free" approach is introduced where peptide analytes secreted by several Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains during their growth period are analyzed. The analysis of the cell supernatant generates mass spectral patterns that are specific to each strain. The patterns generated in combination with a robust data analysis workflow using the open-source programs MALDIquant and Mass-Up allows for strain-level identification of S. cerevisiae. The cell-free approach using the yeast supernatant to accurately identify yeast strains is presented here as a proof of concept. Graphical Abstract.

Abstract
The increase of infections due to non-Candida albicans species made it very necessary to conduct adequate characterization to be able to identify the species of Candida isolated from traditional fermented foods. In this study, based on their hue on Candida Chromogenic Agar medium, a total of 136 yeast strains were isolated from tchapalo and bangui. Molecular identification based on PCR-RFLP of internal transcribed spacers of rDNA (ITS) and sequencing of the ITS and the D1/D2 regions allowed us to assign these isolates to seven species: Candida tropicalis, Candida inconspicua, Candida rugosa, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Hanseniaspora guilliermondii, Trichosporon asahii. With the respect to each beverage, six species were found among with four species are regarded as opportunistic pathogens. From these, C. tropicalis, C. inconspicua and K. marxianus were the most commonly encountered. The enzyme activities of the potential pathogens assessed using API ZYM system showed that almost strains had esterase, esterase lipase, valine and cystine arylamidase, alpha chymotrypsin, alkaline phosphatase and naphthol phosphohydrolase activities. The activity of α-glucosidase was found only in C. tropicalis and C. inconspicua strains isolated from tchapalo while β-glucosidase activity was found in all strains from tchapalo and only in C. inconspicua isolated from bangui.

Abstract
A cross-sectional study was conducted in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, to identify the yeast diversity associated with the manufacture of dolo, a traditional fermented beverage of Burkina Faso. From sixty specimens spread onto chromogenic medium plates, sixty-two strains were isolated then identified using MALDI-TOF analysis. Seven yeast species were identified, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (39%) followed by Pichia manshurica (18%) being the most frequent. Forty-three percent of the samples contained Candida species, notably Candida albicans. In conclusion, the combined use of a chromogenic medium and MALDI-TOF analysis reveals a higher diversity in yeast species present in the dolo than previously thought.

Abstract
Incidence of methanol contamination of traditionally fermented beverages is increasing globally resulting in the death of several persons. The source of methanol contamination has not been clearly established in most countries. While there were speculations that unscrupulous vendors might have deliberately spiked the beverages with methanol, it is more likely that the methanol might have been produced by contaminating microbes during traditional ethanol fermentation, which is often inoculated spontaneously by mixed microbes, with a potential to produce mixed alcohols. Methanol production in traditionally fermented beverages can be linked to the activities of pectinase producing yeast, fungi and bacteria. This study assessed some traditional fermented beverages and found that some beverages are prone to methanol contamination including cachaca, cholai, agave, arak, plum and grape wines. Possible microbial role in the production of methanol and other volatile congeners in these fermented beverages were discussed. The study concluded by suggesting that contaminated alcoholic beverages be converted for fuel use rather than out rightly banning the age—long traditional alcohol fermentation.

Abstract
Mawè and tchoukoutou are two traditional fermented foods largely consumed in Benin, West Africa. Their preparations remain as a house art and they are the result of spontaneous fermentation processes. In this study, dynamics of the yeast populations occurring during spontaneous fermentations of mawè and tchoukoutou were investigated using both culture-dependent and -independent approaches. For each product, two productions were followed. Samples were taken at different fermentation times and yeasts were isolated, resulting in the collection of 177 isolates. They were identified by the PCR-DGGE technique followed by the sequencing of the D1/D2 domain of the 26S rRNA gene. The predominant yeast species identified were typed by rep-PCR. Candida krusei was the predominant yeast species in mawè fermentation followed by Candida glabrata and Kluyveromyces marxianus. Other yeast species were detected in lower numbers. The yeast successions that took place during mawè fermentation lead to a final population comprising Saccharomyces cerevisiae, C. krusei and K. marxianus. The yeast populations dominating the fermentation of tchoukoutou were found to consist of S. cerevisiae, almost exclusively. Other yeast species were detected in the early stages of fermentation. For the predominant species a succession of biotypes was demonstrated by rep-PCR for the fermentation of both products. The direct analysis at DNA and RNA levels in the case of mawè did not reveal any other species except those already identified by culture-based analysis. On the other hand, for tchoukoutou, four species were identified that were not detected by the culture-based approach. The spontaneous fermentation of mawè and tchoukoutou in the end were dominated by a few autochthonous species.

Abstract
The maize based ogi and mawè and the sorghum based gowé and tchoukoutou are traditional, spontaneously fermented products widely consumed by the population of Benin (West Africa). Yeast occurrence in the products, as sold on local markets at different locations, was studied using a combination of culture-dependent and independent methods. Number of yeasts is varied from 3.75 log10 colony forming units (cfu)/g for ogi to 5.60 log10 cfu/g for tchoukoutou. Isolated yeasts (236) were identified based on different migration profiles on denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and 26S rRNA gene sequencing. Candida krusei was the yeast most frequently isolated with strongest predominance in the maize based products. Other predominant yeast present at equal or lower incidence were Clavispora lusitaniae and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in ogi and mawè, Cl. lusitaniae, Candida tropicalis and Kluyveromyces marxianus in gowè and Cl. lusitaniae, S. cerevisiae and Candida rugosa in tchoukoutou. Grouping of C. krusei isolates (164) by rep-PCR analysis indicated that several biotypes were involved in fermentation of the four products. The DGGE analysis on the DNA directly extracted from the food matrices demonstrated the presence of Dekkera bruxellensis and Debaryomyces hansenii, not detected by the culture-based approach. This is the first study combining culture-dependent and independent methods to reveal predominant yeast species and biotypes in traditional foods from Benin.

Abstract
This study investigated the diversity and dynamics of yeasts involved in alcoholic fermentation of a traditional sorghum beer from Côte d'Ivoire, tchapalo. A total of 240 yeast strains were isolated from fermenting sorghum wort inoculated with dry yeast from two geographic regions of Côte d'Ivoire (Abidjan and Bondoukou). Initial molecular identification to the species level was carried out using RFLP of PCR-amplified internal transcribed spacers of rDNA (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2). Ten different profiles were obtained from the restriction of PCR products with the three endonucleases HaeIII, CfoI and HinfI. Sequence analysis of the D1/D2 domain of the 26S rDNA and the ACT1 gene allowed us to assign these groups to six different species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae-like, Candida tropicalis, Pichia kudriavzevii, Pichia kluyveri, Kodamaea ohmeri and Meyerozyma caribbica. The most frequent species associated with tchapalo fermentation was S. cerevisiae-like (87.36%), followed by C. tropicalis (5.45%) and M. caribbica (2.71%). S. cerevisiae-like strains were diploid heterozygotes and exhibited three to four nucleotides divergence from the type strain in the D1/D2 domain and several indels in the more discriminant sequence of the intron of the ACT1 gene. During the process, the yeast species isolated and their frequencies varied according to the geographic origin of the dry yeast. The occurrence of some species was sporadic and only two non-Saccharomyces species were found in the final product.

Abstract
AIM To quantify and identify the predominant lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in dolo and pito wort processing, and to examine their biodiversity at strain level. MATERIALS AND RESULTS The processing of dolo and pito wort was studied at four production sites in Burkina Faso and Ghana. The succession of dominant micro-organisms, pH and titratable acidity were determined from sorghum malt through mashing and acidification to final wort. In the sorghum malt and during mashing, the LAB counts were 5.7-7.5 log CFU g(-1). Similar levels of yeasts and gram-negative, catalase-positive bacteria were observed. These levels decreased to 3.7-4.5 log CFU g(-1) and<or=2-3 log CFU g(-1), respectively, at the end of mashing, including a mild heat treatment. During acidification at ambient temperature (30-33 degrees C) lasting for 12-16 h, LAB counts increased to 8.8-9.9 log CFU g(-1), pH decreased from 5.55+/-0.12 to 3.72+/-0.24, and the titratable acidity calculated as lactic acid, increased from 0.13% to 0.61%. The gram-negative, catalase-positive bacteria and yeasts observed in the malt and during mashing were no longer detected. A total of 556 strains of LAB were isolated and purified. The LAB isolates were characterized and identified by a polyphasic approach based on phenotypic and genotypic methods, such as carbohydrate fermentation patterns using API 50 CHL, intergenic transcribed spacers-polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism (ITS-PCR/RFLP), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Lactobacillus fermentum was identified as the dominant LAB species in the malt during mashing and during acidification. The other species observed during acidification were Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. delbrueckii, Lact. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and Pediococcus acidilactici. These bacteria comprised a minor fraction of the bacterial population and no distinct microbial succession was observed for the LAB. At species level, the LAB profiles were similar for the four production sites; however, a pronounced diversity was observed at strain level. For one site, which had implemented a cleaning procedure between batches only, Lact. fermentum was found. CONCLUSION Lact. fermentum was found to be the dominant LAB species throughout the entire process to final dolo and pito wort, including the acidification. Lact. delbrueckii ssp. delbrueckii, Lact. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and P. acidilactici occurred in low numbers. At strain level, a high diversity based on PFGE-RFLP was observed for Lact. fermentum within and between sites. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This study for the first time gives details of the involvement of LAB in the production of dolo and pito wort, for West African traditional sorghum beer production. One species, Lact. fermentum was predominant throughout the process, and seems to harbour potential starter cultures to be selected according to technological characteristics determined at strain level.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains of clinical and nonclinical origin were compared by pulse field gel electrophoresis. Complete separation between strains of clinical origin and food strains by their chromosome length polymorphism was not obtained even though there was a tendency for the clinical and food strains to cluster separately. All the investigated strains, except for one food strain, were able to grow at temperatures > or =37 degrees C but not at 42 degrees C. Great strain variations were observed in pseudohyphal growth and invasiveness, but the characters were not linked to strains of clinical origin. The adhesion capacities of the yeast strains to a human intestinal epithelial cell line (Caco-2) in response to different nutritional availabilities were determined, as were the effects of the strains on the transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) across polarized monolayers of Caco-2 cells. The yeast strains displayed very low adhesion capacities to Caco-2 cells (0.6-6.2%), and no significant difference was observed between the strains of clinical and nonclinical origin. Both S. cerevisiae strains of clinical and non-clinical origin increased the TER of polarized monolayers of Caco-2 cells. Based on the results obtained in this study, no specific virulence factor was found that clearly separated the strains of clinical origin from the strains of nonclinical origin. On the contrary, all investigated strains of S. cerevisiae were found to strengthen the epithelial barrier function.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae constitutes one of the most important microorganisms involved in food fermentations throughout the world. Aflatoxin B(1) binding abilities of S. cerevisiae strains isolated from indigenous fermented foods from Ghana, West Africa were tested in vitro. Results show that aflatoxin binding was strain specific with 7 strains binding 10-20%, 8 strains binding 20-40% and 3 strains binding more than 40% of the added aflatoxin B(1) when grown and incubated under standard conditions. Binding by two of the strains was further characterized. Highest binding capacity was seen with cells collected at the exponential growth phase with the strains A18 and 26.1.11 binding 53.0 and 48.8% of the total toxin respectively and the binding reduced towards the stationary phase. Aflatoxin B(1) binding increased steadily when the cells were incubated with 1 to 20 microg/ml of aflatoxin B(1). Binding was not affected by the cells grown at temperatures ranging from 20 to 37 degrees C, but was significantly reduced at 15 degrees C. Binding seems to be a physical phenomenon with cells treated at 52, 55 and 60 degrees C for 5 and 10 min or 120 degrees C for 20 min binding significantly higher quantities (more than 2-fold in 120 degrees C treated cells) of aflatoxin B(1) than their viable counterpart. Similarly, when the cells were treated with 2 M HCl for 1 h, up to 2-fold increase in binding was observed. The results obtained show that some strains of S. cerevisiae, viable or non-viable, are effective aflatoxin binders and these properties should be considered in the selection of starter cultures for relevant indigenous fermented foods where high aflatoxin level is a potential health risk.

Abstract
The yeast S. cerevisiae is a central model organism in eukaryotic cell studies and a major component in many food and biotechnological industrial processes. However, the wide knowledge regarding genetics and molecular biology of S. cerevisiae is based on an extremely narrow range of strains. Studies of natural populations of S. cerevisiae, not associated with human activities or industrial fermentation environments, are very few. We isolated a panel of S. cerevisiae strains from a natural microsite, "Evolution Canyon" at Mount Carmel, Israel, and studied their genomic biodiversity. Analysis of 19 microsatellite loci revealed high allelic diversity and variation in ploidy level across the panel, from diploids to tetraploids, confirmed by flow cytometry. No significant differences were found in the level of microsatellite variation between strains derived from the major localities or microniches, whereas strains of different ploidy showed low similarity in allele content. Maximum genetic diversity was observed among diploids and minimum among triploids. Phylogenetic analysis revealed clonal, rather than sexual, structure of the triploid and tetraploid subpopulations. Viability tests in tetrad analysis also suggest that clonal reproduction may predominate in the polyploid subpopulations.

Abstract
AIMS Saccharomyces cerevisiae is responsible for alcoholic fermentation of wines. However, some strains can also spoil sweet Botrytis-affected wines. Three 'refermentation' strains were isolated during maturation. Characterization of those strains in regards to their fingerprint, rDNA sequence and resistance to SO2, which constituted the main source of stress in Botrytis-affected wines, was carried out. METHODS AND RESULTS Refermentation strains could be clearly discriminated by interdelta fingerprinting. However, they exhibited close relationships by karyotyping. A part of RDN1 locus sequence was examined by using PCR-RFLP and PCR-DGGE. The resistance of refermentation strains to SO2 was performed by using real time quantitative PCR focusing on SSU1 gene. CONCLUSIONS Results suggested that refermentation strains were heterozygote in 26S rDNA and their ITS1-5.8S rDNA-ITS2 region sequence revealed relationships with 'flor' strains. As described in the literature for flor strain, two out of three refermentation strains constitutively developed a higher level of SSU1 expression than the reference strains, improving their putative tolerance to SO2. Therefore, refermentation strains of S. cerevisiae had developed many strategies to survive during maturing sweet wines. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Singularities in rDNA sequence and SSU1 overexpression revealed a natural adaptation. Moreover, genomic relationship between flor and refermentation strains suggested that stress sources could induced selection of survivor strains.

Abstract
Biodiversity among Saccharomyces cerevisiae predominating the spontaneous fermentation of Dagarti pito in Ghana was assessed. Two hundred and forty-nine isolates obtained from samples of dried yeast taken from commercial pito production sites in eight geographical regions of Ghana were characterized phenotypically by colony and cell morphology as well as carbohydrate assimilation profiling. Yeast populations ranged between 10(6) and 10(8) cfug(-1). Ninety-nine percent of the isolates (247) investigated showed macro-and micro morphological characteristics typical of S. cerevisiae. Of these, 72% (179) had assimilation profiles similar to S. cerevisiae while 28% (68) had assimilation profiles atypical of S. cerevisiae or any other member of the Saccharomyces sensu stricto complex. Amplification of the region spanning the two intergenic transcribed spacers (ITS) and the 5.8S ribosomal gene (ITS1-5.8S rDNA-ITS2), followed by restriction analysis, as well as determination of chromosome length polymorphism by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of 25 representative isolates strongly indicated that all belonged to S. cerevisiae, notwithstanding the phenotypic differences. Sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome-c oxidase II gene (COX 2) and the actin-encoding gene (ACT1) of four isolates, confirmed their close relatedness to S. cerevisiae, particularly to the type strain CBS1171 (98.7%), as well as other members of the Saccharomyces sensu stricto complex. Twenty isolates selected from eight geographical regions of Ghana and investigated for their technological properties, showed different patterns of growth and flocculation but otherwise similar technological characteristica. Most of the isolates produced pito having sensory attributes, which compared favourably with commercially produced pito.

Abstract
Samples of cocoa beans were taken on two separate occasions during heap and tray fermentations in Ghana, West Africa. In total 496 yeast isolates were identified by conventional microbiological analyses and by amplification of their ITS1-5.8S rDNA-ITS2 regions. For important species the identifications were confirmed by sequencing of the D1/D2 domain of the 5' end of the large subunit (26S) rDNA. Assimilations of organic acids and other carbon compounds were conducted. For dominant yeasts intraspecies variations were examined by determination of chromosome length polymorphism (CLP) using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. For the heap fermentations maximum yeast cell counts of 9.1 x 10(7) were reached, whereas maximum yeast counts of 6.0 x 10(6) were reached for the tray fermentations. Candida krusei was found to be the dominant species during heap fermentation, followed by P. membranifaciens, P. kluyveri, Hanseniaspora guilliermondii and Trichosporon asahii, whereas Saccharomyces cerevisiae and P. membranifaciens were found to be the dominant species during tray fermentation followed by low numbers of C. krusei, P. kluyveri, H. guilliermondii and some yeast species of minor importance. For isolates within all dominant species CLP was evident, indicating that several different strains are involved in the fermentations. Isolates of C. krusei, P. membranifaciens, H. guilliermondii, T. asahii and Rhodotorula glutinis could be found on the surface of the cocoa pods and in some cases on the production equipment, whereas the origin of e.g. S. cerevisiae was not indicated by the results obtained. In conclusion, the results obtained show that fermentation of cocoa beans is a very inhomogeneous process with great variations in both yeast counts and species composition. The variations seem to depend especially on the processing procedure, but also the season and the post-harvest storage are likely to influence the yeast counts and the species composition.

Abstract
The probiotic potential of 18 Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains used for production of foods or beverages or isolated from such, and eight strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii, was investigated. All strains included were able to withstand pH 2.5 and 0.3% Oxgall. Adhesion to the nontumorigenic porcine jejunal epithelial cell line (IPEC-J2) was investigated by incorporation of 3H-methionine into the yeast cells and use of liquid scintillation counting. Only few of the food-borne S. cerevisiae strains exhibited noteworthy adhesiveness with the strongest levels of adhesion (13.6-16.8%) recorded for two isolates from blue veined cheeses. Merely 25% of the S. cerevisiae var. boulardii strains displayed good adhesive properties (16.2-28.0%). The expression of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1alpha decreased strikingly in IPEC-J2 cells exposed to a Shiga-like toxin 2e producing Escherichia coli strain when the cells were pre- and coincubated with S. cerevisiae var. boulardii even though this yeast strain was low adhesive (5.4%), suggesting that adhesion is not a mandatory prerequisite for such a probiotic effect. A strain of S. cerevisiae isolated from West African sorghum beer exerted similar effects hence indicating that food-borne strains of S. cerevisiae may possess probiotic properties in spite of low adhesiveness.

Abstract
With the aim of developing new tools for the characterisation of wine yeasts, by means of databases available on-line we scanned the genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in search of potentially polymorphic targets. As we have previously observed for SED1, we found that other genes coding for cell wall proteins contain minisatellite-like sequences. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) survey of SED1 and three of these others, namely AGA1, DAN4 and HSP150, in a population of wild S. cerevisiae demonstrated that these genes are highly polymorphic in length and represent a sink of unexplored genetic variability. The primer pairs designed on the gene open reading frames yield stable and repeatable amplification profiles that show a level of resolution that allows the clear discriminate between different strains. These can therefore be utilised for PCR-based typing of S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
A taxonomic study was carried out on eight strains of Saccharomyces boulardii. Morphological and physiological characteristics were consistent with those of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Sequences of the D1/D2 domain of the 26S rDNA were identical for all strains examined and had a similarity value of 100% compared to sequences of the type strain of S. cerevisiae (CBS 1171T) and strain S288c. For all S. boulardii isolates was found the exact same ITS1-5.8S rDNA-ITS2 sequence, which displayed a close resemblance with the sequences published for S288c (99.9%), CBS 1171(T) (99.3%) and other S. cerevisiae strains. Sequence analysis of the mitochondrial cytochrome-c oxidase II gene (COX2) also resulted in identical sequences for the S. boulardii isolates and comparisons with available nucleotide sequences revealed close relatedness to strains of S. cerevisiae including S288c (99.5%) and CBS 1171(T) (96.6%). The electrophoretic karyotypes of the S. boulardii strains appeared quite uniform and although very typical of S. cerevisiae, they formed a cluster separate from strains of this species. The results of the present study strongly indicate a close relatedness of S. boulardii to S. cerevisiae and thereby support the recognition of S. boulardii as a member of S. cerevisiae and not as a separate species.

Abstract
Genetic relationships of 24 phenotypically different strains isolated from sorghum beer in West Africa and the type cultures of the Saccharomyces sensu stricto species were investigated by universally primed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, microsatellite fingerprinting and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the ribosomal internal transcribed spacers. The results demonstrate that internal transcribed spacer (ITS) PCR-RFLP analysis with the endonucleases HaeIII, HpaII, ScrFI and TaqI is useful for discriminating S. cerevisiae, S. kudriavzevii, S. mikatae from one another and from the S. bayanus/S. pastorianus and S. cariocanus/S. paradoxus pairs. The sorghum beer strains exhibited the same restriction patterns as the type culture of S. cerevisiae CBS 1171. PCR profiles generated with the microsatellite primer (GTG)(5) and the universal primer N21 were almost identical for all isolates and strain CBS 1171. Despite phenotypic peculiarities, the strains involved in sorghum beer production in Ghana and Burkina Faso belong to S. cerevisiae. However, based on sequencing of the rDNA ITS1 region and Southern hybridisation analysis, these strains represent a divergent population of S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
Indigenous fermented foods and beverages play a major role in the diet of African people. The predominant yeast species seen is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, involved in basically three groups of indigenous fermented products: non-alcoholic starchy foods, alcoholic beverages and fermented milk. These products are to a great extent made by spontaneous fermentation and consequently S. cerevisiae often coexists with other microorganisms even though a microbiological succession usually takes place both between and within species. The functions of S. cerevisiae are mainly related to formation of alcohols and other aroma compounds, but stimulation of e.g. lactic acid bacteria, improvement of nutritional value, probiotic effects, inhibition of undesired microorganisms and production of tissue-degrading enzymes may also be observed. Several different isolates of S. cerevisiae have been shown to be involved in the fermentations and some of the isolates show pheno- and genotypic characteristics that deviate from those normally recognised for S. cerevisiae.
