Abstract
Fermenting grape juice provides a habitat for a well-mapped and evolutionarily relevant microbial ecosystem consisting of many natural or inoculated strains of yeasts and bacteria. The molecular nature of many of the ecological interactions within this ecosystem remains poorly understood, with the partial exception of interactions of a metabolic nature such as competition for nutrients and production of toxic metabolites/peptides. Data suggest that physical contact between species plays a significant role in the phenotypic outcome of interspecies interactions. However, the molecular nature of the mechanisms regulating these phenotypes remains unknown. Here, we present a transcriptomic analysis of physical versus metabolic contact between two wine relevant yeast species, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lachancea thermotolerans. The data show that these species respond to the physical presence of the other species. In S. cerevisiae, physical contact results in the upregulation of genes involved in maintaining cell wall integrity, cell wall structural components, and genes involved in the production of H2S. In L. thermotolerans, HSP stress response genes were the most significantly upregulated gene family. Both yeasts downregulated genes belonging to the FLO family, some of which play prominent roles in cellular adhesion. qPCR analysis indicates that the expression of some of these genes is regulated in a species-specific manner, suggesting that yeasts adjust gene expression to specific biotic challenges or interspecies interactions. These findings provide fundamental insights into yeast interactions and evolutionary adaptations of these species to the wine ecosystem.IMPORTANCEWithin the wine ecosystem, yeasts are the most relevant contributors to alcoholic fermentation and wine organoleptic characteristics. While some studies have described yeast-yeast interactions during alcoholic fermentation, such interactions remain ill-defined, and little is understood regarding the molecular mechanisms behind many of the phenotypes observed when two or more species are co-cultured. In particular, no study has investigated transcriptional regulation in response to physical interspecies cell-cell contact, as opposed to the generally better understood/characterized metabolic interactions. These data are of direct relevance to our understanding of microbial ecological interactions in general while also creating opportunities to improve ecosystem-based biotechnological applications such as wine fermentation. Furthermore, the presence of competitor species has rarely been considered an evolutionary biotic selection pressure. In this context, the data reveal novel gene functions. This, and further such analysis, is likely to significantly enlarge the genome annotation space.

Chemical and Electrophysiological Characterisation of Headspace Volatiles from Yeasts Attractive to Drosophila suzukii. J Chem Ecol 2024:10.1007/s10886-024-01494-x. [PMID: 38691267 DOI: 10.1007/s10886-024-01494-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
Chemical control of Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) based on the use of insecticides is particularly challenging as the insect attacks ripening fruits shortly before harvest. An alternative strategy may rely on the use of yeasts as phagostimulants and baits, applied on canopy as attract-and-kill formulations. The aim of this research was to identify the most attractive among six yeast species for D. suzukii: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Hanseniaspora uvarum, Clavispora santaluciae, Saccharomycopsis vini, Issatchenkia terricola, and Metschnikowia pulcherrima. The volatile profile of C. santaluciae was described for the first time. Behavioural experiments identified H. uvarum and S. vini as the most attractive yeasts. The characterization of yeast headspace volatiles using direct headspace (DHS) and solid-phase microextraction (SPME) revealed several strain-specific compounds. With DHS injection, 19 volatiles were characterised, while SPME revealed 71 compounds constituting the yeast headspace. Both analyses revealed terpenoids including β-ocimene, citronellol, (Z)-geraniol (nerol), and geranial as distinct constituents of S. vini. H. uvarum and S. vini were further investigated using closed-loop stripping analysis (CSLA) and electroantennography. Out of 14 compounds quantified by CSLA, ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, β-myrcene, benzaldehyde and linalool were detected by D. suzukii antennae and might generate the strong attractiveness of S. vini and H. uvarum. Our results highlight a strong attraction of D. suzukii to various yeasts associated with both the flies and their habitat and demonstrate how different sampling methods can impact the results of volatile compound characterization. It remains to be demonstrated whether the distinct attraction is based on special adaptations to certain yeasts and to what extent the metabolites causing attraction are interchangeable.

Foods 2024; 13:1061. [PMID: 38611364 PMCID: PMC11011255 DOI: 10.3390/foods13071061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
In view of climate change and the increasingly antagonistic wine market, the exploitation of native genetic resources is revisited in relation to sustainable wine production. 'Sideritis' is a late-ripening Greek grape variety, which is quite promising for counteracting wine quality issues associated with the annual temperature rise. The aim of this study was to improve the quality and to enhance the aroma of 'Sideritis' wine through the use of native yeasts. To improve vinification, Hanseniaspora opuntiae L1 was used along with Saccharomyces cerevisiae W7 in mixed fermentations (SQ). The addition of H. οpuntiae significantly altered the chemical profile of the wine compared to the single-inoculated fermentations with W7 (IS). H. opuntiae increased all the acetate esters, except for hexyl acetate and (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol acetate. The concentration of 2-phenylethyl acetate, which imparts flowery and sweet notes, exhibited a 2.6-fold increase in SQ as compared to IS wines. SQ also showed higher levels in several ethyl esters, including ethyl butyrate, ethyl heptanoate and ethyl 7-octenoate, which are associated with fruity notes compared to IS. H. opuntiae produced citronellol, a terpene associated with rose and green notes, and increased the overall acceptance of the wine. Present results are thus quite promising for improving 'Sideritis' wine quality towards a sustainable wine production in Greece in view of global warming.

Abstract
Hanseniaspora uvarum is a prevalent yeast species in vineyards. However, its application in grape wine fermentation remains limited. This study used culture-dependent and -independent approaches to investigate the dynamics of H. uvarum during the spontaneous fermentation of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The results revealed that H. uvarum constituted 77.49 % of the non-Saccharomyces yeast population during fermentation. An indigenous strain, QTX-C10, was isolated from the 148 H. uvarum strains using a multistep screening strategy. The 1:1 co-inoculation of QTX-C10 with Saccharomyces cerevisiae proved to be an optimal strategy for mixed fermentation, resulting in a 48.54 %-59.55 % increase in ethyl esters in Cabernet Sauvignon wine and a 96.94 %-110.92 % increase in Chardonnay wine. Furthermore, this approach reduced the acetic acid levels by 12.50 %-17.07 % for Cabernet Sauvignon wine and 10.81 %-17.78 % for Chardonnay wine. Additionally, increased ethyl ester content may enhance the tropical fruit flavor of Cabernet Sauvignon wines.

Foods 2023; 12:3565. [PMID: 37835218 PMCID: PMC10572567 DOI: 10.3390/foods12193565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 09/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Cider flavor has a very important impact on the quality. Solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) combined with gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) tested different kinds of non-Saccharomyces yeasts and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) co-inoculated for the fermentation of cider to determine differences in aroma material, and the determination of odor activity value (OAV) is applied less frequently in research. Through Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Debaryomyces hansenii, Zygosaccharomyces bailii, and Kluyveromyces Marxianus, four different strains of non-Saccharomyces yeast fermented cider, and it was found that, in both the chemical composition and flavor of material things, compared with monoculture-fermented cider using S. cerevisiae, all differences were significant. Co-inoculated fermentation significantly improved the flavor and taste of cider. As in the volatile compounds of OVA > 1, octanoic acid (Sc 633.88 μg/L, co-inoculation fermented group 955.49 μg/L) provides vegetable cheese fragrance and decanoic acid, ethyl ester (Sc 683.19 μg/L, co-inoculation fermented group 694.98 μg/L) a creamy fruity fragrance, etc., and the average content increased after co-inoculated fermentation. Phenylethyl alcohol, which can produce a rose scent, was relatively abundant in cider samples and varied greatly among the groups. Moreover, the contents of ethyl lactate and 1-butanol in the Sc+Rm (ciders fermented by S. cerevisiae and R. mucilaginosa) were the highest of all of the cider samples. Different types of non-Saccharomyces yeast produced cider with different flavor characteristics. This study demonstrates that different species of non-Saccharomyces yeast do have an important impact on the characteristics of cider and that co-inoculation with non-Saccharomyces yeast and S. cerevisiae for cider fermentation may be a strategy to improve the flavor of cider.

Abstract
In this study, the aroma-production profiles of seven different Hanseniaspora strains, namely H. guilliermondii, H. meyeri, H. nectarophila, H. occidentalis, H. opuntiae, H. osmophila and H. uvarum were determined in a simultaneous co-inoculation with the wine yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae Champagne Epernay Geisenheim (Uvaferm CEG). All co-inoculated fermentations with Hanseniaspora showed a dramatic increase in ethyl acetate levels except the two (H. occidentalis and H. osmophila) that belong to the so-called slow-evolving clade, which had no meaningful difference, compared to the S. cerevisiae control. Other striking observations were the almost complete depletion of lactic acid in mixed-culture fermentations with H. osmophila, the more than 3.7 mg/L production of isoamyl acetate with H. guilliermondii, the significantly lower levels of glycerol with H. occidentalis and the increase in certain terpenols, such as citronellol with H. opuntiae. This work allows for the direct comparison of wines made with different Hanseniapora spp. showcasing their oenological potential, including two (H. meyeri and H. nectarophila) previously unexplored in winemaking experiments.

Abstract
Lack of gene-function analyses tools limits studying the biology of Hanseniaspora uvarum, one of the most abundant yeasts on grapes and in must. We investigated a rapid PCR-based gene targeting approach for one-step gene replacement in this diploid yeast. To this end, we generated and validated two synthetic antibiotic resistance genes, pFA-hygXL and pFA-clnXL, providing resistance against hygromycin and nourseothricin, respectively, for use with H. uvarum. Addition of short flanking-homology regions of 56-80 bp to these selection markers via PCR was sufficient to promote gene targeting. We report here the deletion of the H. uvarum LEU2 and LYS2 genes with these marker genes via two rounds of consecutive transformations, each resulting in the generation of auxotrophic strains (leu2/leu2; lys2/lys2). The hereby constructed leucine auxotrophic leu2/leu2 strain was subsequently complemented in a targeted manner, thereby further validating this approach. PCR-based gene targeting in H. uvarum was less efficient than in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, this approach, combined with the availability of two marker genes, provides essential tools for directed gene manipulations in H. uvarum.

Effect of Hanseniaspora uvarum- Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mixed Fermentation on Aroma Characteristics of Rosa roxburghii Tratt, Blueberry, and Plum Wines. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27228097.

Abstract
Hanseniaspora uvarum, a non-Saccharomyces cerevisiae species, has a crucial effect on the aroma characteristics of fruit wines, thus, attracting significant research interest in recent years. In this study, H. uvarum-Saccharomyces cerevisiae mixed fermentation was used to ferment Rosa roxburghii Tratt, blueberry fruit wine, and plum fruit wines using either a co-inoculated or a sequentially inoculated approach. The three fruit wines' volatile aroma characteristics were analyzed by headspace-solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS). The results showed that the mixed inoculation of H. uvarum and S. cerevisiae reduced the alcoholic content of Kongxinli fruit wine. Moreover, H. uvarum-S. cerevisiae fermented Rosa roxburghii Tratt, blueberry, and plum fruit wines and further enriched their flavor compounds. The overall flavor characteristics of sequentially inoculated fruit wines differed significantly from those fermented with S. cerevisiae alone, although several similarities were also observed. Sequential inoculation of H. uvarum and S. cerevisiae positively affected the mellowness of the wine and achieved a better harmony of the overall wine flavors. Therefore, H. uvarum-Saccharomyces cerevisiae mixed fermentation can improve the complexity of the wines' aromatic composition and empower them with a unique identity. In particular, H. uvarum-Saccharomyces cerevisiae blueberry wine produced by mixed fermentation had the widest variety and content of aroma compounds among the fermented wines. Therefore, H. uvarum-Saccharomyces cerevisiae mixed-fermentation inoculation in the three fermented fruit wines significantly increased the aroma compound variety and content, thus, enriching their aroma richness and complexity. This study is the first comparative evaluation of the aroma characteristics of different fruit wines fermented with a mixed inoculation of H. uvarum and S. cerevisiae and provides a preliminary guide for these fruit wines produced with non-Saccharomyces yeast.

Abstract
The development of early civilizations was greatly associated with populations’ ability to exploit natural resources. The development of methods for food preservation was one of the pillars for the economy of early societies. In Ecuador, food fermentation significantly contributed to social advances and fermented foods were considered exclusive to the elite or for religious ceremonies. With the advancement of the scientific research on bioprocesses, together with the implementation of novel sequencing tools for the accurate identification of microorganisms, potential health benefits and the formation of flavor and aroma compounds in fermented foods are progressively being described. This review focuses on describing traditional fermented foods from Ecuador, including cacao and coffee as well as less popular fermented foods. It is important to provide new knowledge associated with nutritional and health benefits of the traditional fermented foods.

Abstract
Oenococcus oeni is the main agent responsible for malolactic fermentation (MLF) in wine. This usually takes place in red wines after alcoholic fermentation (AF) carried out by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In recent years, there is an increasing interest in using non-Saccharomyces yeast, usually in combination with S. cerevisiae, to improve wine quality. Current studies report a stimulatory effect of non-Saccharomyces on MLF, generally related to a decrease in the inhibitor compounds found in wine. In this work, we followed a comparative multi-omics approach, including transcriptomic and proteomic analysis, to study the molecular adaptation of O. oeni in wines fermented with Torulaspora delbrueckii and Metschnikowia pulcherrima, two of the most frequently used non-Saccharomyces, in sequential inoculation with S. cerevisiae. We compared the results to the adaptation of O. oeni in S. cerevisiae wine to determine the main changes arising from the use of non-Saccharomyces. The duration of MLF was shortened when using non-Saccharomyces, to half the time with T. delbrueckii and to a quarter with M. pulcherrima. In this work, we observed for the first time how O. oeni responds at molecular level to the changes brought about by non-Saccharomyces. We showed a differential adaptation of O. oeni in the wines studied. In this regard, the main molecular functions affected were amino acid and carbohydrate transport and metabolism, from which peptide metabolism appeared as a key feature under wine-like conditions. We also showed that the abundance of Hsp20, a well-known stress protein, depended on the duration time. Thus, the use of non-Saccharomyces reduced the abundance of Hsp20, which could mean a less stressful wine-like condition for O. oeni.

Abstract
Although berries (nongrape) are rich in health-promoting bioactive compounds, and their consumption is associated with a lower risk of diverse chronic diseases, only a fraction of the annual yield of berries is exploited and consumed. Development of berry wines presents an approach to increase the utilization of berries. Alcoholic fermentation is a complex process driven by yeasts, which influence key properties of wine diversification and quality. In winemaking, non-Saccharomyces yeasts were traditionally considered as undesired microorganisms because of their high production of metabolites with negative connotations. However, there has been a recent and growing interest in the application of non-Saccharomyces yeast in many innovative wineries. Numerous studies have demonstrated the potential of these yeasts to improve properties of wine as an alternative or complement to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The broad use of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in winemaking provides a promising picture of these unconventional yeasts in berry wine production, which can be considered as a novel biotechnological approach for creating value-added berry products for the global market. This review provides an overview of the current use of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in winemaking and their applicative perspective in berry wine production.

Techniques for Dealcoholization of Wines: Their Impact on Wine Phenolic Composition, Volatile Composition, and Sensory Characteristics. Foods 2021; 10:foods10102498.

Abstract
The attention of some winemakers and researchers over the past years has been drawn towards the partial or total dealcoholization of wines and alcoholic beverages due to trends in wine styles, and the effect of climate change on wine alcohol content. To achieve this, different techniques have been used at the various stages of winemaking, among which the physical dealcoholization techniques, particularly membrane separation (nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, evaporative perstraction, and pervaporation) and thermal distillation (vacuum distillation and spinning cone column), have shown promising results and hence are being used for commercial production. However, the removal of alcohol by these techniques can cause changes in color and losses of desirable volatile aroma compounds, which can subsequently affect the sensory quality and acceptability of the wine by consumers. Aside from the removal of ethanol, other factors such as the ethanol concentration, the kind of alcohol removal technique, the retention properties of the wine non-volatile matrix, and the chemical-physical properties of the aroma compounds can influence changes in the wine sensory quality during dealcoholization. This review highlights and summarizes some of the techniques for wine dealcoholization and their impact on wine quality to help winemakers in choosing the best technique to limit adverse effects in dealcoholized wines and to help meet the needs and acceptance among different targeted consumers such as younger people, pregnant women, drivers, and teetotalers.

Phenotypic characterization of cell-to-cell interactions between two yeast species during alcoholic fermentation. World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 37:186.

Abstract
Microbial multispecies ecosystems are responsible for many biotechnological processes and are particularly important in food production. In wine fermentations, in addition to the natural microbiota, several commercially relevant yeast species may be co-inoculated to achieve specific outcomes. However, such multispecies fermentations remain largely unpredictable because of multilevel interactions between naturally present and/or co-inoculated species. Understanding the nature of such interactions has therefore become essential for successful implementation of such strategies. Here we investigate interactions between strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lachancea thermotolerans. Co-fermentations with both species sharing the same bioreactor (physical contact) were compared to co-fermentations with physical separation between the species in a membrane bioreactor ensuring free exchange of metabolites. Yeast culturability, viability and the production of core metabolites were monitored. The previously reported negative interaction between these two yeast species was confirmed. Physical contact greatly reduced the culturability and viability of L. thermotolerans and led to earlier cell death, compared to when these yeasts were co-fermenting without cell-cell contact. In turn, in the absence of cell-cell contact, L. thermotolerans metabolic activity led to an earlier decline in culturability in S. cerevisiae. Cell-cell contact did not result in significant differences in the major fermentation metabolites ethanol, acetic acid and lactic acid, but impacted on the production of some volatile compounds.

A Multi–Membrane System to Study the Effects of Physical and Metabolic Interactions in Microbial Co-Cultures and Consortia. FERMENTATION 2021.

Abstract
Continuous cell-to-cell contact between different species is a general feature of all natural environments. However, almost all research is conducted on single-species cultures, reflecting a biotechnological bias and problems associated with the complexities of reproducibly growing and controlling multispecies systems. Consequently, biotic stress due to the presence of other species remains poorly understood. In this context, understanding the effects of physical contact between species when compared to metabolic contact alone is one of the first steps to unravelling the mechanisms that underpin microbial ecological interactions. The current technologies to study the effects of cell-to-cell contact present disadvantages, such as the inefficient or discontinuous exchange of metabolites when preventing contact between species. This paper presents and characterizes a novel bioreactor system that uses ceramic membranes to create a “multi-membrane” compartmentalized system whereby two or more species can be co-cultured without the mixing of the species, while ensuring the efficient sharing of all of the media components. The system operates continuously, thereby avoiding the discontinuities that characterize other systems, which either have to use hourly backwashes to clean their membranes, or have to change the direction of the flow between compartments. This study evaluates the movement of metabolites across the membrane in co-cultures of yeast, microalgae and bacterial species, and monitors the movement of the metabolites produced during co-culturing. These results show that the multi-membrane system proposed in this study represents an effective system for studying the effects of cell-to-cell contact in microbial consortia. The system can also be adapted for various biotechnological purposes, such as the production of metabolites when more than one species is required for such a process.

Abstract
The use of non-Saccharomyces yeast species generally involves sequential or co-inoculation of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain to complete fermentation. While most studies have focused on characterising the impact that S. cerevisiae has on the growth and metabolic activity of these non-Saccharomyces species, microbial interactions work reciprocally. Antagonism or competition of non-Saccharomyces species against S. cerevisiae has been shown to impact subsequent fermentation performance. To date, it remains unclear whether these negative interactions are strain specific. Hence, characterisation of strain-specific responses to co-inoculation would enable the identification of specific S. cerevisiae strain/non-Saccharomyces combinations that minimise the negative impacts of sequential fermentation on fermentation performance. The competitive fitness response of 93 S. cerevisiae strains to several non-Saccharomyces species was simultaneously investigated using a barcoded library to address this knowledge gap. Strain-specific fitness differences were observed across non-Saccharomyces treatments. Results obtained from experiments using selected S. cerevisiae strains sequentially inoculated after Metschnikowia pulcherrima and Torulaspora delbrueckii were consistent with the competitive barcoded library observations. The results presented in this study indicate that strain selection will influence fermentation performance when using non-Saccharomyces species, therefore, appropriate strain/yeast combinations are required to optimise fermentation.

Abstract
This review examines the different types of interactions between the microorganisms involved in the fermentation processes of alcoholic beverages produced all over the world from cereals or fruit juices. The alcoholic fermentation converting sugars into ethanol is usually carried out by yeasts, mainly Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which can grow directly using fruit sugars, such as those in grapes for wine or apples for cider, or on previously hydrolyzed starch of cereals, such as for beers. Some of these beverages, or the worts obtained from cereals, can be distilled to obtain spirits. Besides S. cerevisiae, all alcoholic beverages can contain other microorganisms and especially in spontaneous fermentation when starter cultures are not used. These other microbes are mostly lactic acid bacteria and other yeasts-the non-Saccharomyces yeasts. The interactions between all these microorganisms are very diverse and complex, as in any natural occurring ecosystem, including food fermentations. To describe them, we have followed a simplified ecological classification of the interactions. The negative ones are amensalism, by which a metabolic product of one species has a negative effect on others, and antagonism, by which one microbe competes directly with others. The positive interactions are commensalism, by which one species has benefits but no apparent effect on others, and synergism, by which there are benefits for all the microbes and also for the final product. The main interactions in alcoholic beverages are between S. cerevisiae and non-Saccharomyces and between yeasts and lactic acid bacteria. These interactions can be related to metabolites produced by fermentation such as ethanol, or to secondary metabolites such as proteinaceous toxins, or are feed-related, either by competition for nutrients or by benefit from released compounds during yeast autolysis. The positive or negative effects of these interactions on the organoleptic qualities of the final product are also revised. Focusing mainly on the alcoholic beverages produced by spontaneous fermentations, this paper reviews the interactions between the different yeasts and lactic acid bacteria in wine, cider, beer, and in spirits such as tequila, mezcal and cachaça.

Abstract
Wine is a product of microbial activities and microbe–microbe interactions. Yeasts are the principal microorganisms responsible for the evolution and fulfillment of alcoholic fermentation. Several species and strains coexist and interact with their environment and with each other during the fermentation course. Yeast–yeast interactions occur even from the early stages of fermentation, determining yeast community structure and dynamics during the process. Different types of microbial interactions (e.g., mutualism and commensalism or competition and amensalism) may exert positive or negative effects, respectively, on yeast populations. Interactions are intimately linked to yeast metabolic activities that influence the wine analytical profile and shape the wine character. In this context, much attention has been given during the last years to the interactions between Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) and non-Saccharomyces (NS) yeast species with respect to their metabolic contribution to wine quality. Yet, there is still a significant lack of knowledge on the interaction mechanisms modulating yeast behavior during mixed culture fermentation, while much less is known about the interactions between the various NS species or between SC and Saccharomyces non-cerevisiae (SNC) yeasts. There is still much to learn about their metabolic footprints and the genetic mechanisms that alter yeast community equilibrium in favor of one species or another. Gaining deeper insights on yeast interactions in the grape–wine ecosystem sets the grounds for understanding the rules underlying the function of the wine microbial system and provides means to better control and improve oenological practices.

Abstract
Grapes are a source of native yeasts and lactic acid bacteria (LAB); however, the microbial make up is dependent on the grape cultivar and the regional growth conditions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to characterize the yeast and LAB in seven grape cultivars cultivated in Chile. Grape juices were fermented at 25 °C for 7 days. Samples were collected to analyze sugar, organic acids, and ethanol. Microbial evolution was measured with culture-dependent and molecular approaches. Then, a native isolated Candida oleophila was selected for further sequential fermentations with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The grape cultivars in the Maule showed a diversity of non-Saccharomyces yeasts, with a greater diversity observed at the beginning of the fermentation. However, species from the Hansenasporia, Metschnikowia, Torulaspora, Lachancea, and Candida genera were detected after 7 days, suggesting tolerance to environments rich in ethanol, capability may be associated to the terroir studied, which is characterized by torrid weather and antique and traditional vineyards. The alcoholic fermentation negatively impacted the LAB population, and after 7 days only Leuconostoc mesenteroides was isolated. In the sequential fermentations, C. oleophila was able to produce fermented grape juices with <1.5 g/L glucose, 12.5% (v/v) alcohol, and low concentrations of malic (<1.00 g/L) and succinic (2.05 g/L) acids, while acetic acid reached values >0.3 (g/L). To our knowledge this is the first time C. oleophila has been reported as a potential starter culture for wine production. However, more studies are necessary to fully characterize the potential of C. oleophila on wine attributes.

Abstract
In parallel with the development of non-Saccharomyces starter cultures in oenology, a growing interest has developed around the interactions between the microorganisms involved in the transformation of grape must into wine. Nowadays, it is widely accepted that the outcome of a fermentation process involving two or more inoculated yeast species will be different from the weighted average of the corresponding individual cultures. Interspecific interactions between wine yeasts take place on several levels, including interference competition, exploitation competition, exchange of metabolic intermediates, and others. Some interactions could be a simple consequence of each yeast running its own metabolic programme in a context where metabolic intermediates and end products from other yeasts are present. However, there are clear indications, in some cases, of specific recognition between interacting yeasts. In this article we discuss the mechanisms that may be involved in the communication between wine yeasts during alcoholic fermentation.

Abstract
The general interest in microbial ecology has skyrocketed over the past decade, driven by technical advances and by the rapidly increasing appreciation of the fundamental services that these ecosystems provide. In biotechnology, ecosystems have many more functionalities than single species, and, if properly understood and harnessed, will be able to deliver better outcomes for almost all imaginable applications. However, the complexity of microbial ecosystems and of the interactions between species has limited their applicability. In research, next generation sequencing allows accurate mapping of the microbiomes that characterise ecosystems of biotechnological and/or medical relevance. But the gap between mapping and understanding, to be filled by "functional microbiomics", requires the collection and integration of many different layers of complex data sets, from molecular multi-omics to spatial imaging technologies to online ecosystem monitoring tools. Holistically, studying the complexity of most microbial ecosystems, consisting of hundreds of species in specific spatial arrangements, is beyond our current technical capabilities, and simpler model systems with fewer species and reduced spatial complexity are required to establish the fundamental rules of ecosystem functioning. One such ecosystem, the ecosystem responsible for natural alcoholic fermentation, can provide an excellent tool to study evolutionarily relevant interactions between multiple species within a relatively easily controlled environment. This review will critically evaluate the approaches that are currently implemented to dissect the cellular and molecular networks that govern this ecosystem. KEY POINTS: • Evolutionarily isolated fermentation ecosystem can be used as an ecological model. • Experimental toolbox is gearing towards mechanistic understanding of this ecosystem. • Integration of multidisciplinary datasets is key to predictive understanding.

Abstract
Microbiological strategies are currently being considered as methods for reducing the ethanol content of wine. Fermentations started with a multistarter of three non-Saccharomyces yeasts (Metschnikowia pulcherrima (Mp), Torulaspora delbrueckii (Td) and Zygosaccharomyces bailii (Zb)) at different inoculum concentrations. S. cerevisiae (Sc) was inoculated into fermentations at 0 h (coinoculation), 48 h or 72 h (sequential fermentations). The microbial populations were analyzed by a culture-dependent approach (Wallerstein Laboratory Nutrient (WLN) culture medium) and a culture-independent method (PMA-qPCR). The results showed that among these three non-Saccharomyces yeasts, Td became the dominant non-Saccharomyces yeast in all fermentations, and Mp was the minority yeast. Sc was able to grow in all fermentations where it was involved, being the dominant yeast at the end of fermentation. We obtained a significant ethanol reduction of 0.48 to 0.77% (v/v) in sequential fermentations, with increased concentrations of lactic and acetic acids. The highest reduction was achieved when the inoculum concentration of non-Saccharomyces yeast was 10 times higher (107 cells/mL) than that of S. cerevisiae. However, this reduction was lower than that obtained when these strains were used as single non-Saccharomyces species in the starter, indicating that interactions between them affected their performance. Therefore, more combinations of yeast species should be tested to achieve greater ethanol reductions.

Abstract
Apiculate yeasts belonging to the genus Hanseniaspora are commonly isolated from viticultural settings and often dominate the initial stages of grape must fermentations. Although considered spoilage yeasts, they are now increasingly becoming the focus of research, with several whole-genome sequencing studies published in recent years. However, tools for their molecular genetic manipulation are still lacking. Here, we report the development of a tool for the genetic modification of Hanseniaspora uvarum. This was employed for the disruption of the HuATF1 gene, which encodes a putative alcohol acetyltransferase involved in acetate ester formation. We generated a synthetic marker gene consisting of the HuTEF1 promoter controlling a hygromycin resistance open reading frame (ORF). This new marker gene was used in disruption cassettes containing long-flanking (1000 bp) homology regions to the target locus. By increasing the antibiotic concentration, transformants were obtained in which both alleles of the putative HuATF1 gene were deleted in a diploid H. uvarum strain. Phenotypic characterisation including fermentation in Müller-Thurgau must showed that the null mutant produced significantly less acetate ester, particularly ethyl acetate. This study marks the first steps in the development of gene modification tools and paves the road for functional gene analyses of this yeast.

Abstract
The use of non-Saccharomyces species as starter cultures together with Saccharomyces cerevisiae is becoming a common practice in the oenological industry to produce wines that respond to new market demands. In this context, microbial interactions with these non-Saccharomyces species must be considered for a rational design of yeast starter combinations. Previously, transcriptional responses of S. cerevisiae to short-term co-cultivation with Torulaspora delbrueckii, Candida sake, or Hanseniaspora uvarum was compared. An activation of sugar consumption and glycolysis, membrane and cell wall biogenesis, and nitrogen utilization was observed, suggesting a metabolic boost of S. cerevisiae in response to competing yeasts. In the present study, the transcription profile of S. cerevisiae was analyzed after 3 h of cell contact with Metschnikowia pulcherrima. Results show an over-expression of the gluco-fermentative pathway much stronger than with the other species. Moreover, a great repression of the respiration pathway has been found in response to Metschnikowia. Our hypothesis is that there is a direct interaction stress response (DISR) between S. cerevisiae and the other yeast species that, under excess sugar conditions, induces transcription of the hexose transporters, triggering glucose flow to fermentation and inhibiting respiration, leading to an increase in both, metabolic flow and population dynamics.

Viability-PCR Allows Monitoring Yeast Population Dynamics in Mixed Fermentations Including Viable but Non-Culturable Yeasts. Foods 2020; 9:foods9101373.

Abstract
The use of controlled mixed inocula of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and non-Saccharomyces yeasts is a common practice in winemaking, with Torulaspora delbrueckii, Lachancea thermotolerans and Metschnikowia pulcherrima being the most commonly used non-Saccharomyces species. Although S. cerevisiae is usually the dominant yeast at the end of mixed fermentations, some non-Saccharomyces species are also able to reach the late stages; such species may not grow in culture media, which is a status known as viable but non-culturable (VBNC). Thus, an accurate methodology to properly monitor viable yeast population dynamics during alcoholic fermentation is required to understand microbial interactions and the contribution of each species to the final product. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) has been found to be a good and sensitive method for determining the identity of the cell population, but it cannot distinguish the DNA from living and dead cells, which can overestimate the final population results. To address this shortcoming, viability dyes can be used to avoid the amplification and, therefore, the quantification of DNA from non-viable cells. In this study, we validated the use of PMAxx dye (an optimized version of propidium monoazide (PMA) dye) coupled with qPCR (PMAxx-qPCR), as a tool to monitor the viable population dynamics of the most common yeast species used in wine mixed fermentations (S. cerevisiae, T. delbrueckii, L. thermotolerans and M. pulcherrima), comparing the results with non-dyed qPCR and colony counting on differential medium. Our results showed that the PMAxx-qPCR assay used in this study is a reliable, specific and fast method for quantifying these four yeast species during the alcoholic fermentation process, being able to distinguish between living and dead yeast populations. Moreover, the entry into VBNC status was observed for the first time in L. thermotolerans and S. cerevisiae during alcoholic fermentation. Further studies are needed to unravel which compounds trigger this VBNC state during alcoholic fermentation in these species, which would help to better understand yeast interactions.

Abstract
In winemaking, the use of alternative yeast starters is becoming increasingly popular. They contribute to the diversity and complexity of wine sensory features and are typically used in combination with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to ensure complete fermentation. This practice has drawn the interest on interactions between different oenological yeasts, which are also relevant in spontaneous and conventional fermentations, or in the vineyard. Although several interactions have been described and some mechanisms have been suggested, the possible involvement of extracellular vesicles (EVs) has not yet been considered. This work describes the production of EVs by six wine yeast species (S. cerevisiae, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Lachancea thermotolerans, Hanseniaspora uvarum, Candida sake and Metschnikowia pulcherrima) in synthetic grape must. Proteomic analysis of EV-enriched fractions from S. cerevisiae and T. delbrueckii showed enrichment in glycolytic enzymes and cell-wall-related proteins. The most abundant protein found in S. cerevisiae, T. delbrueckii and L. thermotolerans EV-enriched fractions was the enzyme exo-1,3-β-glucanase. However, this protein was not involved in the here-observed negative impact of T. delbrueckii extracellular fractions on the growth of other yeast species. These findings suggest that EVs may play a role in fungal interactions during wine fermentation and other aspects of wine yeast biology.

Abstract
The growing trend in the wine industry is the revaluation of the role of non-Saccharomyces yeasts, promoting the use of these yeasts in association with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Non-Saccharomyces yeasts contribute to improve wine complexity and organoleptic composition. However, the use of mixed starters needs to better understand the effect of the interaction between these species during alcoholic fermentation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of mixed starter cultures, composed by combination of different S. cerevisiae and Hanseniaspora uvarum strains, on wine characteristics and to investigate the role of cell-to-cell contact on the metabolites produced during alcoholic fermentation. In the first step, three H. uvarum and two S. cerevisiae strains, previously selected, were tested during mixed fermentations in natural red grape must in order to evaluate yeast population dynamics during inoculated fermentation and influence of mixed starter cultures on wine quality. One selected mixed starter was tested in a double-compartment fermentor in order to compare mixed inoculations of S. cerevisiae/H. uvarum with and without physical separation. Our results revealed that physical contact between S. cerevisiae and H. uvarum affected the viability of H. uvarum strain, influencing also the metabolic behaviour of the strains. Although different researches are available on the role of cell-to-cell contact-mediated interactions on cell viability of the strains included in the mixed starter, to our knowledge, very few studies have evaluated the influence of cell-to-cell contact on the chemical characteristics of wine.

Abstract
The alcohol content in wine has increased due to external factors in recent decades. In recent reports, some non-Saccharomyces yeast species have been confirmed to reduce ethanol during the alcoholic fermentation process. Thus, an efficient screening of non-Saccharomyces yeasts with low ethanol yield is required due to the broad diversity of these yeasts. In this study, we proposed a rapid method for selecting strains with a low ethanol yield from forty-five non-Saccharomyces yeasts belonging to eighteen species. Single fermentations were carried out for this rapid selection. Then, sequential fermentations in synthetic and natural must were conducted with the selected strains to confirm their capacity to reduce ethanol compared with that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The results showed that ten non-Saccharomyces strains were able to reduce the ethanol content, namely, Hanseniaspora uvarum (2), Issatchenkia terricola (1), Metschnikowia pulcherrima (2), Lachancea thermotolerans (1), Saccharomycodes ludwigii (1), Torulaspora delbrueckii (2), and Zygosaccharomyces bailii (1). Compared with S. cerevisiae, the ethanol reduction of the selected strains ranged from 0.29 to 1.39% (v/v). Sequential inoculations of M. pulcherrima (Mp51 and Mp FA) and S. cerevisiae reduced the highest concentration of ethanol by 1.17 to 1.39% (v/v) in synthetic or natural must. Second, sequential fermentations with Z. bailii (Zb43) and T. delbrueckii (Td Pt) performed in natural must yielded ethanol reductions of 1.02 and 0.84% (v/v), respectively.

Abstract
Co-fermentation of selected non-Saccharomyces yeast strain with Saccharomyces cerevisiae is regarded as a promising approach to improve the sensory quality of fruit wine. To evaluate the effects of co-fermentations between the selected non-Saccharomyces yeast strains (Hanseniaspora opuntiae, Hanseniaspora uvarum and Torulaspora delbrueckii) and S. cerevisiae on the sensory quality of citrus wine, the fermentation processes, the chemical compositions, and the sensory evaluations of citrus wines were analyzed. Compared with those of S. cerevisiae fermentation, co-fermentations produced high sensory qualities, and S. cerevisiae/H. opuntiae co-fermentation had the best sensory quality followed by Sc-Hu and Sc-Td co-fermentations. Additionally, all the co-fermentations had a lower amount of ethanol and total acidity, higher pH value, and higher content of volatile aroma compounds, especially the content of higher alcohol and ester compounds, than those of S. cerevisiae fermentation. Therefore, co-fermentations of the non-Saccharomyces yeast strains and S. cerevisiae could be employed to improve the sensory quality of citrus wines. These results would provide not only methods to improve the sensory quality of citrus wine, but also a valuable reference for the selection of non-Saccharomyces yeast strains for fruit wine fermentation.

Abstract
Wine sensory experience includes flavor, aroma, color, and (for some) even acoustic traits, which impact consumer acceptance. The quality of the wine can be negatively impacted by the presence of off-flavors and aromas, or dubious colors, or sediments present in the bottle or glass, after pouring (coloring matter that precipitates or calcium bitartrate crystals). Flavor profiles of wines are the result of a vast number of variations in vineyard and winery production, including grape selection, winemaker’s knowledge and technique, and tools used to produce wines with a specific flavor. Wine color, besides being provided by the grape varieties, can also be manipulated during the winemaking. One of the most important “tools” for modulating flavor and color in wines is the choice of the yeasts. During alcoholic fermentation, the wine yeasts extract and metabolize compounds from the grape must by modifying grape-derived molecules, producing flavor-active compounds, and promoting the formation of stable pigments by the production and release of fermentative metabolites that affect the formation of vitisin A and B type pyranoanthocyanins. This review covers the role of Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeasts, as well as lactic acid bacteria, on the perceived flavor and color of wines and the choice that winemakers can make by choosing to perform co-inoculation or sequential inoculation, a choice that will help them to achieve the best performance in enhancing these wine sensory qualities, avoiding spoilage and the production of defective flavor or color compounds.

Abstract
In winemaking, non-Saccharomyces yeast species contribute important organoleptic complexity. Current interest focuses on abundant and dominant strains characteristically present in the early phase of spontaneous alcoholic fermentations. Non-Saccharomyces species are particularly relevant in Port wine production such that the fermentation is prematurely stopped, after the metabolism of only one half of the available sugar, through fortification with aguardente. This work aimed to isolate, identify and characterize non-Saccharomyces species present in spontaneously fermenting Port. To accomplish these goals, yeasts were isolated from a selection of frozen must samples (2012–2016 harvests), using a pre-screening process choosing only the best candidates based on the organoleptic quality of the corresponding fortified wine. From five hundred non-Saccharomyces isolates, twelve species were identified. The three most abundant species, Hanseniaspora uvarum, Lachancea thermotolerans, and Metschnikowia pulcherrima, representing 89% of the isolates, exhibited particularly high diversity with high growth performance variability when exposed to typical stress conditions associated with common enological parameters. Less abundant species included Issatchenkia orientalis, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Hanseniaspora vineae, Hanseniaspora osmophila, Candida zemplinina, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Hanseniaspora guilliermondii, Issatchenkia occidentalis, and Zygosaccharomyces bisporus. This is the first study providing insights into the identification and characterization of non-Saccharomyces species responsible for spontaneous Port wine production.

Abstract
A current trend in winemaking has highlighted the beneficial contribution of non-Saccharomyces yeasts to wine quality. Hanseniaspora uvarum is one of the more represented non-Saccharomyces species onto grape berries and plays a critical role in influencing the wine sensory profile, in terms of complexity and organoleptic richness. In this work, we analyzed a group of H. uvarum indigenous wine strains as for genetic as for technological traits, such as resistance to SO2 and β-glucosidase activity. Three strains were selected for genome sequencing, assembly and comparative genomic analyses at species and genus level. Hanseniaspora genomes appeared compact and contained a moderate number of genes, while rarefaction analyses suggested an open accessory genome, reflecting a rather incomplete representation of the Hanseniaspora gene pool in the currently available genomes. The analyses of patterns of functional annotation in the three indigenous H. uvarum strains showed distinct enrichment for several PFAM protein domains. In particular, for certain traits, such as flocculation related protein domains, the genetic prediction correlated well with relative flocculation phenotypes at lab-scale. This feature, together with the enrichment for oligo-peptide transport and lipid and amino acid metabolism domains, reveals a promising potential of these indigenous strains to be applied in fermentation processes and modulation of wine flavor and aroma. This study also contributes to increasing the catalog of publicly available genomes from H. uvarum strains isolated from natural grape samples and provides a good roadmap for unraveling the biodiversity and the biotechnological potential of these non-Saccharomyces yeasts.

Abstract
In this study, apple juice was fermented using Hanseniaspora osmophila X25-5 in pure culture as well as mixed culture with Torulaspora quercuum X24-4, which was inoculated simultaneously or sequentially. H. osmophila inhibited the growth of T. quercuum, while T. quercuum had little effect on the growth of H. osmophila. The simultaneous fermentation consumed relatively more sugar and resulted in the highest ethanol content. The production of organic acids varied depending on the yeast species employed and inoculation modality. Esters and alcohols were the main volatile families produced during fermentation, while ethyl esters and terpenes contributed most to the temperate fruity aroma. Gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) showed that 3-methyl-1-butanol, ethyl 2-methylbutanoate, phenylethyl alcohol, β-phenethyl acetate, and β-damascenone were the most potent odorants in all samples. This study suggested that simultaneous fermentation with H. osmophila and T. quercuum might represent a novel strategy for the future production of cider.

Proteomics insights into the responses of Saccharomyces cerevisiae during mixed-culture alcoholic fermentation with Lachancea thermotolerans. FEMS Microbiol Ecol 2019; 95:5550729.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
The response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to cocultivation with Lachancea thermotolerans during alcoholic fermentations has been investigated using tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomics. At two key time-points, S. cerevisiae was sorted from single S. cerevisiae fermentations and from mixed fermentations using flow cytometry sorting. Results showed that the purity of sorted S. cerevisiae was above 96% throughout the whole mixed-culture fermentation, thereby validating our sorting methodology. By comparing protein expression of S. cerevisiae with and without L. thermotolerans, 26 proteins were identified as significantly regulated proteins at the early death phase (T1), and 32 significantly regulated proteins were identified at the late death phase (T2) of L. thermotolerans in mixed cultures. At T1, proteins involved in endocytosis, increasing nutrient availability, cell rescue and resistance to stresses were upregulated, and proteins involved in proline synthesis and apoptosis were downregulated. At T2, proteins involved in protein synthesis and stress responses were up- and downregulated, respectively. These data indicate that S. cerevisiae was stressed by the presence of L. thermotolerans at T1, using both defensive and fighting strategies to keep itself in a dominant position, and that it at T2 was relieved from stress, perhaps increasing its enzymatic machinery to ensure better survival.

Abstract
Multi-starter wine fermentations employing non-Saccharomyces (NS) yeasts are becoming an emerging trend in winemaking. It is therefore important to determine the impacts of different NS strains in the wine phenotype and in particular the aroma outputs in different inoculation schemes and fermentation conditions. Here, two native NS yeasts, Lachancea thermotolerans LtMM7 and Hanseniaspora uvarum HuMM19, were assessed for their ability to improve the quality of Moschofilero, a Greek aromatic white wine. The NS strains were initially examined in laboratory scale fermentations in mixed inoculations with ScMM23, a native Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain. LtMM7 was selected to be further evaluated in pilot scale fermentations. Five different inoculation schemes were considered: single inoculation of ScMM23 (IS), simultaneous inoculation of ScMM23 with HuMM19 (SMH) or LtMM7 (SML), and sequential inoculation of HuMM19 (SQH) or LtMM7 (SQL) followed by ScMM23. At laboratory scale fermentations, the chemical profiles were largely affected by both the NS species and the inoculation scheme applied. The sequential inoculation using HuMM19 produced the most divergent wine phenotype. However, HuMM19 caused significant increases in acetic acid and ethyl acetate levels that impeded its use in pilot scale trials. LtMM7 significantly affected the chemical profiles of wines produced at the winery, especially in the sequential inoculation scheme. Importantly, LtMM7 significantly increased the levels of acetate esters or ethyl esters, depending on the inoculation method applied. In particular, acetate esters like isobutyl acetate, hexyl acetate, and 2-phenylethyl acetate, which all impart fruity or floral aromas, were significantly increased in SQL. On the other hand, higher levels of total ethyl esters were associated with SML. The most striking differences were observed in the levels of fruit-impair esters like ethyl decanoate, 3-methylbutyl octanoate, and isoamyl hexanoate. This is the first study to report a significant increase in the ethyl ester fraction by L. thermotolerans. Interestingly, L. thermotolerans in SQL also increased the concentrations of damascenone and geraniol, the major teprenic compound of Moschofilero, which are associated with several typical floral and fruity aromas of the variety. Present results show that L. thermotolerans may enhance the varietal character and increase the chemical complexity of Moschofilero wines.

Impact on Sensory and Aromatic Profile of Low Ethanol Malbec Wines Fermented by Sequential Culture of Hanseniaspora uvarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Native Yeasts. FERMENTATION-BASEL 2019.

Abstract
It is well known that high ethanol levels in wines adversely affect the perception of new wine consumers. Moreover, numerous issues, such as civil restrictions, health risk and trade barriers, are associated with high ethanol concentrations. Several strategies have been proposed to produce wines with lower alcoholic content, one simple and inexpensive approach being the use of new wine native yeasts with less efficiency in sugar to ethanol conversion. Nevertheless, it is also necessary that these yeasts do not impair the quality of wine. In this work, we tested the effect of sequential culture between Hanseniaspora uvarum BHu9 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae BSc114 on ethanol production. Then, the wines produced were analyzed by GC-MS and tested by a sensorial panel. Co-culture had a positive impact on ethanol reduction and sensory profile when compared to the S. cerevisiae monoculture. Wines with lower alcohol content were related to fruity aroma; moreover, color intensity was associated. The wines obtained with S. cerevisiae BSc114 in pure conditions were described by parameters linked with high ethanol levels, such as hotness and astringency. Moreover, floral profile was related to this treatment. Based on these findings, this work provides a contribution to answer the current consumers’ preferences and addresses the main challenges faced by the enological industry.

Abstract
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for yeast during alcoholic fermentation. Nitrogen is involved in the biosynthesis of protein, amino acids, nucleotides, and other metabolites, including volatile compounds. However, recent studies have called several mechanisms that regulate its role in biosynthesis into question. An initial focus on S. cerevisiae has highlighted that the concept of "preferred" versus "non-preferred" nitrogen sources is extremely variable and strain-dependent. Then, the direct involvement of amino acids consumed in the formation of proteins and volatile compounds has recently been reevaluated. Indeed, studies have highlighted the key role of lipids in nitrogen regulation in S. cerevisiae and their involvement in the mechanism of cell death. New winemaking strategies using non-Saccharomyces yeast strains in co- or sequential fermentation improve nitrogen management. Indeed, recent studies show that non-Saccharomyces yeasts have significant and specific needs for nitrogen. Moreover, sluggish fermentation can occur when they are associated with S. cerevisiae, necessitating nitrogen addition. In this context, we will present the consequences of nitrogen addition, discussing the sources, time of addition, transcriptome changes, and effect on volatile compound composition.

Abstract
Grape must is a sugar-rich habitat for a complex microbiota which is replaced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains during the first fermentation stages. Interest on yeast competitive interactions has recently been propelled due to the use of alternative yeasts in the wine industry to respond to new market demands. The main issue resides in the persistence of these yeasts due to the specific competitive activity of S. cerevisiae. To gather deeper knowledge of the molecular mechanisms involved, we performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis during fermentation carried out by a wine S. cerevisiae strain and a strain representative of the cryophilic S. kudriavzevii, which exhibits high genetic and physiological similarities to S. cerevisiae, but also differences of biotechnological interest. In this study, we report that transcriptomic response to the presence of a competitor is stronger in S. cerevisiae than in S. kudriavzevii. Our results demonstrate that a wine S. cerevisiae industrial strain accelerates nutrient uptake and utilization to outcompete the co-inoculated yeast, and that this process requires cell-to-cell contact to occur. Finally, we propose that this competitive phenotype evolved recently, during the adaptation of S. cerevisiae to man-manipulated fermentative environments, since a non-wine S. cerevisiae strain, isolated from a North American oak, showed a remarkable low response to competition.

Genomic content of a novel yeast species Hanseniaspora gamundiae sp. nov. from fungal stromata (Cyttaria) associated with a unique fermented beverage in Andean Patagonia, Argentina.

Abstract
A novel yeast species was isolated from the sugar-rich stromata of Cyttaria hariotii collected from two different Nothofagus tree species in the Andean forests of Patagonia, Argentina. Phylogenetic analyses of the concatenated sequence of the rRNA gene sequences and the protein-coding genes for actin and translational elongation factor-1α indicated that the novel species belongs to the genus Hanseniaspora. De novo genome assembly of the strain CRUB 1928T yielded a 10.2-Mbp genome assembly predicted to encode 4452 protein-coding genes. The genome sequence data were compared to the genomes of other Hanseniaspora species using three different methods, an alignment-free distance measure, Kr, and two model-based estimations of DNA-DNA homology values, of which all provided indicative values to delineate species of Hanseniaspora. Given its potential role in a rare indigenous alcoholic beverage in which yeasts ferment sugars extracted from the stromata of Cytarria sp., we searched for the genes that may suggest adaptation of novel Hanseniaspora species to fermenting communities. The SSU1-like gene encoding a sulfite efflux pump, which, among Hanseniaspora, is present only in close relatives to the new species, was detected and analyzed, suggesting that this gene might be one factor that characterizes this novel species. We also discuss several candidate genes that likely underlie the physiological traits used for traditional taxonomic identification. Based on these results, a novel yeast species with the name Hanseniaspora gamundiae sp. nov. is proposed with CRUB 1928T (ex-types: ZIM 2545T = NRRL Y-63793T = PYCC 7262T; MycoBank number MB 824091) as the type strain. Furthermore, we propose the transfer of the Kloeckera species, K. hatyaiensis, K. lindneri and K. taiwanica to the genus Hanseniaspora as Hanseniaspora hatyaiensis comb. nov. (MB 828569), Hanseniaspora lindneri comb. nov. (MB 828566) and Hanseniaspora taiwanica comb. nov. (MB 828567).

Abstract
The present study combined high-throughput culture-dependent plating and culture-independent amplicon sequencing with a metabolite target analysis to systematically dissect the identity, evolution, and role of the microorganisms, substrates, and metabolites during the four-phase fermentation and maturation process of lambic beer production. This led to the following new insights. The changing physicochemical parameters and substrate and metabolite compositions of the fermenting wort and maturing lambic beer provoked several transitions between microbial species and explained the four-step production process. Manual wort acidification with lactic acid shortened the enterobacterial phase and thus kept biogenic amine formation by enterobacteria present during the early stages of fermentation at a minimum. Growth advantages during the alcoholic fermentation phase caused a transition from the prevalence by Hanseniaspora uvarum and Kazachstania species to that by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and later on Saccharomyces kudriavzevii, due to changing environmental parameters. During the acidification phase, Pediococcus damnosus was prevalent and performed a malolactic fermentation. Acetobacter pasteurianus produced acetic acid and acetoin. Upon maturation, Dekkera species appeared, together with P. damnosus and Pichia membranifaciens, thereby contributing to acetic acid production, depending on the oxygen availability. Moreover, the Dekkera species consumed the acetoin produced by the acetic acid bacteria for redox balancing. The breakdown of maltooligosaccharides seemed to be independent of the occurrence of Dekkera species and started already early in the fermentation process.

Abstract
Modern day winemaking often involves the addition of sulfur dioxide (SO2) at crush to act as both an antioxidant and an antimicrobial agent. While the effects of SO2 on microbial communities and particularly on spoilage microorganisms has been well-studied, the advent of culture-independent molecular technologies, such as Illumina sequencing, allows the subject to be re-visited in a new context. High-throughput amplicon sequencing allows for a more thorough evaluation of microbial communities, as thousands of microbial sequences per sample can be identified and even rare microorganisms can be studied. This research investigated whether the addition of different levels of SO2 at crush (0, 20, or 40 mg/L) would affect the composition of fungal and bacterial communities, as well as the sensory attributes of the resulting wines. Samples were taken from uninoculated fermentations of Pinot gris and analyzed via high-throughput amplicon sequencing using the Illumina MiSeq platform. Yeast relative abundance and overall fungal community composition differed among the SO2 additions. Notably, a Hanseniaspora yeast appeared in all treatments and persisted until the end of alcoholic fermentation, although its relative abundance was significantly higher in the fermentations to which low or no SO2 had been added. Two key wine sensory attributes (citrus aroma and pome fruit flavor) differed among the SO2 treatments. This research provides an in-depth look into the fungal and bacterial communities during alcoholic fermentation and gives a better understanding of the microbial community response to SO2 additions during the crush period.

Cell-to-cell contact mechanism modulates Starmerella bacillaris death in mixed culture fermentations with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Int J Food Microbiol 2018; 289:106-114.

Abstract
The use of mixed culture fermentations with selected Starmerella bacillaris and Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains is gaining winemaking attention, mainly due to their ability to enhance particular characteristics in the resulting wines. In this context, yeast interspecies interactions during fermentation have a fundamental role to determine the desired product characteristics, since they may modulate yeast growth and as a consequence metabolite production. In order to get an insight into these interactions, the growth and death kinetics of the abovementioned species were investigated in pure and mixed culture fermentations, using cv. Nebbiolo grape must. Trials were conducted in flasks but also in a double-compartment fermentation system in which cells of the two species were kept separate by a filter membrane. Although the two species had similar growth pattern during the first days of fermentation, Starm. bacillaris died earlier when tested in the flask than in the double-compartment fermentor. The early death of Starm. bacillaris seemed to be not caused by nutrient limitation nor by accumulation of growth inhibitory compounds (which were not measured in the present study). Rather, cell-to-cell contact mechanism, dependent on the presence of viable S. cerevisiae cells, appears to be responsible for the observations made. These results contribute to better understand the factors that influence Starm. bacillaris death during wine fermentations.
