Traina C, Ferrocino I, Bonciolini A, Cardenia V, Lin X, Rantsiou K, Cocolin L. Monitoring the yeasts ecology and volatiles profile throughout the spontaneous fermentation of Taggiasca cv. table olives through culture-dependent and independent methods. Int J Food Microbiol 2024; 417:110688. [PMID: 38615425 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2024.110688] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
Taggiasca table olives are typical of Liguria, a Northwestern Italian region, produced with a spontaneous fermentation carried out by placing the raw drupes directly into brine with a salt concentration of 8-12 % w/v. Such concentrations limit the development of unwanted microbes and favor the growth of yeasts. This process usually lasts up to 8 months. Yeasts are found throughout the entire fermentation process and they are mainly involved in the production of volatile organic compounds, which strongly impact the quality of the final product. The aim of this study was to evaluate the dynamics of autochthonous yeasts in brines and olives in a spontaneous process with no lye pre-treatment or addition of acids in the fermenting brine with 10 % NaCl (w/v) in two batches during 2021 harvest. Three hundred seventy-three yeast colonies were isolated, characterized by rep-PCR and identified by the D1/D2 region of the 26S rRNA gene sequencing. Mycobiota was also studied by 26S rRNA gene metataxonomics, while metabolome was assessed through GC-MS analysis. Traditional culture-dependent methods showed the dominance of Candida diddensiae, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Pichia membranifaciens and Aureobasidium pullulans, with differences in species distribution between batches, sampling time and type of sample (olives/brines). Amplicon-based sequencing confirmed the dominance of W. anomalus in batch 1 throughout the entire fermentation, while Cyteromyces nyonsensis and Aureobasidium spp. were most abundant in the fermentation in batch 2. Volatilome results were analyzed and correlated to the mycobiota data, confirming differences between fermentation stages. Given the high appreciation for this traditional food, this study helps elucidate the mycobiota associated to Taggiasca cv. table olives and its relationship with the quality of the final product.

Abstract
The biodegradation of chloroethene compounds under oxic and anoxic conditions is well established. However, the biological reactions that take place under microoxic conditions are unknown. Here, we report the biostimulated (BIOST: addition of lactate) and natural attenuated (NAT) degradation of chloroethene compounds under microoxic conditions by bacterial communities from chloroethene compounds-contaminated groundwater. The degradation of tetrachloroethene was significantly higher in NAT (15.14% on average) than in BIOST (10.13% on average) conditions at the end of the experiment (90 days). Sporomusa, Paracoccus, Sedimentibacter, Pseudomonas, and Desulfosporosinus were overrepresented in NAT and BIOST compared to the source groundwater. The NAT metagenome contains phenol hydrolase P1 oxygenase (dmpL), catechol-1,2-dioxygenase (catA), catechol-2,3-dioxygenases (dmpB, todE, and xylE) genes, which could be involved in the cometabolic degradation of chloroethene compounds; and chlorate reductase (clrA), that could be associated with partial reductive dechlorination of chloroethene compounds. Our data provide a better understanding of the bacterial communities, genes, and pathways potentially implicated in the reductive and cometabolic degradation of chloroethene compounds under microoxic conditions.

Abstract
Table olives are often the result of fermentation, a process where microorganisms transform raw materials into the final product. The microbial community can significantly impact the organoleptic characteristics and safety of table olives, and it is influenced by various factors, including the processing methods. Traditional culture-dependent techniques capture only a fraction of table olives' intricate microbiota, prompting a shift toward culture-independent methods to address this knowledge gap. This review explores recent advances in table olive research through omics and meta-omics approaches. Genomic analysis of microorganisms isolated from table olives has revealed multiple genes linked to technological and probiotic attributes. An increasing number of studies concern metagenomics and metabolomics analyses of table olives. The former offers comprehensive insights into microbial diversity and function, while the latter identifies aroma and flavor determinants. Although proteomics and transcriptomics studies remain limited in the field, they have the potential to reveal deeper layers of table olives' microbiome composition and functionality. Despite the challenges associated with implementing multi-omics approaches, such as the reliance on advanced bioinformatics tools and computational resources, they hold the promise of groundbreaking advances in table olive processing technology.

Abstract
Analysis of table olives microbiome using next-generation sequencing has enriched the available information about the microbial community composition of this popular fermented food. In this study, 16S and 18S rRNA sequencing was performed on table olives of five Greek popular cultivars, Halkidikis, Thassou, Kalamon, Amfissis, and Konservolia, fermented either by Greek style (in brine or salt-drying) or by Spanish style, in order to evaluate their microbial communities. Moreover, analytical methods were used to evaluate their biochemical properties. The prevailing bacterial species of all olives belonged to Lactobacillaceae, Leuconostocaceae, and Erwiniaceae families, while the most abundant yeasts were of the Pichiaceae family. Principal coordinates analysis showed a clustering of samples cured by salt-drying and of samples stored in brine, regardless of their cultivar. The biochemical evaluation of total phenol content, antioxidant activity, hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein, oleocanthal, and oleacein showed that salt-dried olives had low amounts of hydroxytyrosol, while Spanish-style green olives had the highest amounts of oleocanthal. All the other values exhibited various patterns, implying that more than one factor affects the biochemical identity of the final product. The protocols applied in this study can provide useful insights for the final product, both for the producers and the consumers.

Abstract
The knowledge about the microbial diversity of different olives varieties from diverse regions in the Mediterranean basin is limited. This work aimed to determine the microbial diversity of three different fermented olive varieties, collected from different regions in Cyprus, via Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis. Olives were spontaneously fermented for 120 days, microbial DNA was extracted from the final products, and subjected to 16S rRNA gene and ITS1 loci metabarcoding analysis for the determination of bacterial and fungal communities, respectively. Results revealed that the bacterial profile of the studied varieties was similar, while no noteworthy differences were observed in olives from different regions. The bacterial profile was dominated by the co-existence of Lactobacillus and Streptococcus, while the genera Lactococcus and Salinivibrio and the family Leuconostocaceae were also present in increased relative abundances. Regarding fungal communities, the analysis indicated discrimination among the different varieties, especially in Kalamata ones. The most abundant fungi were mainly the genera Aspergillus, Botryosphaeria, Meyerozyma, and Zygosaccharomyces for Cypriot olives, the genera Botryosphaeria, Saccharomyces, Geosmithia, and Wickeromyces for Kalamata variety, while the dominant fungi in the Picual variety were mainly members of the genera Candida, Penicillium, Saccharomyces, Hanseniospora and Botryosphaeria. Potential microbial biomarkers that distinguish the three varieties are also proposed. Moreover, interaction networks analysis identified interactions among the key taxa of the communities. Overall, the present work provides useful information and sheds light on an understudied field, such as the comparison of microbiota profiles of different varieties from several regions in Cyprus. The study enriches our knowledge and highlights the similarities and the main differences between those aspects, booming in parallel the need for further works on this frontier, in the attempt to determine potentially olives' microbial terroir in Cyprus. Our work should be used as a benchmark for future works in this direction.

Abstract
Table olives are among the most well-known fermented foods, being a vital part of the Mediterranean pyramid diet. They constitute a noteworthy economic factor for the producing countries since both their production and consumption are exponentially increasing year by year, worldwide. Despite its significance, olive’s processing is still craft based, not changed since antiquity, leading to the production of an unstable final product with potential risk concerns, especially related to deterioration. However, based on industrial needs and market demands for reproducible, safe, and healthy products, the modernization of olive fermentation processing is the most important challenge of the current decade. In this sense, the reduction of sodium content and more importantly the use of suitable starter cultures, exhibiting both technological and potential probiotic features, to drive the process may extremely contribute to this need. Prior, to achieve in this effort, the full understanding of table olive microbial ecology during fermentation, including an in-depth determination of microbiota presence and/or dominance and its functionality (genes responsible for metabolite production) that shape the sensorial characteristics of the final product, is a pre-requisite. The advent of meta-omics technology could provide a thorough study of this complex ecosystem, opening in parallel new insights in the field, such as the concept of microbial terroir. Herein, we provide an updated overview in the field of olive fermentation, pointing out some important challenges/perspectives that could be the key to the olive sector’s advancement and modernization.

Abstract
Evaluation of food microbiome is of major importance since it accounts for the product's organoleptic characteristics and their nutritional value. In this dataset, microbes present in olive samples (‘Kalamata’ variety) stored under modified atmosphere and throughout different time-points of the shelf life of the product are presented, originated after 16S and 18S rRNA sequencing. The different time-points analyzed were: T0 (immediately after packaging), T6 (six months of storage), T12 (12 months of storage) and T18 (six months after the end of shelf life). Sequencing was performed on a MiSeq platform with the MiSeq Reagent Kit v3 (600 cycles). The raw sequence data used for analysis are available in NCBI under the Sequence Read Archive (SRA), with BioProject ID PRJNA688686. Raw reads were analyzed using the QIIME2 pipeline, clustered into Operational Taxonomic Units (OTU) and aligned against SILVA 132 reference database. OTUs are presented in different taxonomic levels for each time-point. These data present valuable information on the microbial communities of table olives, a dynamic niche that affect the final product quality. The data presented are related to the research article “Insights into the evolution of Greek style table olives microbiome stored under modified atmosphere: biochemical implications on the product quality” [1].
