Shibayama K, Kondo K, Otoguro M. Yeast Diversity in Wine Grapes from Japanese Vineyards and Enological Traits of Indigenous Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strains. Microorganisms 2024; 12:1769. [PMID: 39338444 PMCID: PMC11433644 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12091769] [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: 08/01/2024] [Revised: 08/23/2024] [Accepted: 08/24/2024] [Indexed: 09/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Japan has numerous vineyards with distinct geographical and climatic conditions. To the best of our knowledge, there is no comprehensive analysis of the diversity of yeasts associated with wine grapes from Japan. This study aimed to determine yeast diversity in wine grapes from four wine-producing regions in Japan and to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics of wines produced with indigenous Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains isolated from two regions. A total of 2648 strains were isolated from nine wine grape samples. MALDI-TOF MS and 26S rDNA sequence analyses revealed that the strains belonged to 21 non-Saccharomyces yeasts and 1 Saccharomyces yeast (S. cerevisiae). Non-Saccharomyces yeasts were found in high quantities and were highly distributed among the wine grape samples. Differences in the distribution of the identified yeast species were noted among the different wine grape varieties and regions. Indigenous S. cerevisiae strains of different genotypes from different regions exhibit distinct physiological traits. Our findings are expected to enhance our understanding of the local yeasts associated with Japanese vineyards and contribute to obtaining cultures that can provide region-specific organoleptic characteristics to local wines produced in Japan.

Yeast Diversity during Spontaneous Fermentations and Oenological Characterisation of Indigenous Saccharomyces cerevisiae for Potential as Wine Starter Cultures. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10071455. [PMID: 35889174 PMCID: PMC9325129 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10071455] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Revised: 06/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Diversity of regional yeast can be influenced by geography, grape cultivars and the use of SO2, but at single vineyard scale in China, the impact of these factors on yeast population, particularly Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is not well studied. Here, we characterised yeast species and dynamics during spontaneous fermentations with/without SO2 using eight typical grape cultivars from Yuma vineyard in Ningxia wine region of China. Results show that distribution and abundance of yeast species varied by grape varieties, fermentation stage and SO2 treatment. A number of 290 S. cerevisiae isolates were further classified into 33 genotypes by Interdelta fingerprinting. A prevailing role of grape varieties in shaping the genetic divergence of S. cerevisiae in Yuma vineyard was observed, as compared to the impacts of fermentation stage and SO2 treatment. Pre-selected S. cerevisiae strains were subjected to vinification with Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. All strains completed fermentations but the physiochemical parameters and volatile profiles of wines were strain-specific. Some indigenous S. cerevisiae yielded more desirable aroma compounds compared to the commercial strains, among which NX16 and NX18 outcompeted others, therefore having potential for use as starters. This study provides comprehensive analysis on yeast diversity at vineyard scale in Ningxia. Information on the vinification using indigenous S. cerevisiae is of great value for improving Ningxia wine regionality.
