Abstract
In the current situation, wine areas are affected by several problems in a context of global warming: asymmetric maturities, pH increasing, high alcohol degree and flat wines with low freshness and poor aroma profile. The use of emerging biotechnologies allows to control or manage such problems. Emerging non-Saccharomyces as Lachancea thermotolerans are very useful for controlling pH by the formation of stable lactic acid from sugars with a slight concomitant alcohol reduction. Lower pH improves freshness increasing simultaneously microbiological stability. The use of Hanseniaspora spp. (specially H. vineae and H. opuntiae) or Metschnikowia pulcherrima promotes a better aroma complexity and improves wine sensory profile by the expression of a more complex metabolic pattern and the release of extracellular enzymes. Some of them are also compatible or synergic with the acidification by L. thermotolerans, and M. pulcherrima is an interesting biotool for reductive winemaking and bioprotection. The use of bioprotection is a powerful tool in this context, allowing oxidation control by oxygen depletion, the inhibition of some wild microorganisms, improving the implantation of some starters and limiting SO2. This can be complemented with the use of reductive yeast derivatives with high contents of reducing peptides and relevant compounds such as glutathione that also are interesting to reduce SO2. Finally, the use of emerging non-thermal technologies as Ultra High-Pressure Homogenization (UHPH) and Pulsed Light (PL) increases wine stability by microbial control and inactivation of oxidative enzymes, improving the implantation of emerging non-Saccharomyces and lowering SO2 additions.

Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1253969.

Abstract
The organoleptic profile and quality of wine are affected by the presence of different non-Saccharomyces species and strains. Therefore, the identification and characterization of non-Saccharomyces yeasts are the first step to understand their function, and to develop a better strain selection program for winemaking. This study investigated the biodiversity of non-Saccharomyces yeasts associated with spontaneous fermentation of Cabernet Sauvignon wines from five sub-regions (Shi Zuishan, Yinchuan, Yu Quanying, Qing Tongxia and Hong Sibu) in Ningxia, China. Yeast species were identified by sequencing the 26S rRNA D1/D2 region, and strains at the subspecies level were discriminated using tandem repeat-tRNA (TRtRNA) PCR analysis. A total of 524 yeast colonies were isolated, and 19 non-Saccharomyces yeast species belonging to 10 genera were identified, including Aureobasidium pullulans, Cryptococcus albidus, Cryptococcus sp., C. flavescens, C. terrestris, C. magnus, Cystofilobasidium ferigula, Candida zemplinina, Filobasidium magnum, Filobasidium sp., F. elegans, Hanseniaspora uvarum, Metschnikowia pimensis, M. pulcherrima, Naganishia albida, Pichia kluyveri, P. kudriavzevii, Rhodotorula glutinis and R. graminis. Hanseniaspora uvarum, C. zemplinina, and M. pulcherrima were the three most dominated species, while other non-Saccharomyces species were only present in the early stage of spontaneous fermentations at different levels. Further, for the yeast discrimination at strain level, 34 profiles were obtained by amplification with primer pairs TtRNASC/5CAG, while 40 profiles were obtained with primer pairs TtRNASC/ISSR-MB. This study explored the diversity of non-Saccharomyces species in Ningxia, China, and made an important contribution of genetic resources for further strain development.

Castrillo D, Blanco P, Vélez S. Can Satellite Remote Sensing Assist in the Characterization of Yeasts Related to Biogeographical Origin? SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 23:2059.

Abstract
Biogeography is a key concept associated with microbial terroir, which is responsible for the differentiation and uniqueness of wines. One of the factors influencing this microbial terroir is the vegetation, which in turn is influenced by climate, soil, and cultural practices. Remote sensing instruments can provide useful information about vegetation. This study analyses the relationship between NDVI, calculated using Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 satellite images of different veraison dates, and microbial data obtained in 2015 from 14 commercial (organic and conventional) vineyards belonging to four Designations of Origin (DOs) from Galicia (northwest Spain). Microbial populations in grapes and musts were identified using PCR techniques and confirmed by sequencing. Statistical analyses were made using PCA, CCA, TB-PLS, and correlation analyses. This study confirms that the NDVI is positively correlated with the diversity of yeasts, both in grapes' surface and must samples. Moreover, the results of this study show: (i) Sentinel-2 images, as well as Landsat-8 images, can establish differences in NDVI related to yeast terroir in grapes and musts, as it is the most relevant DO factor, (ii) Sentinel-2 NDVI and yeast biogeography are moderately to strongly correlated, (iii) Sentinel-2 achieved a better delimitation of the DOs than Landsat-8 and can establish more accurate differences in NDVI-yeast terroir correlations, and (iv) a higher NDVI was associated with the yeast biogeographical patterns of the DOs with higher species richness (S) consisting of weakly fermenting yeasts (Hanseniaspora uvarum, Pichia spp., Starmerella bacillaris, and Zygosaccharomyces spp). However, NDVI values did not correlate well with biogeographic patterns of yeasts previously studied at frequency level (proportion or percentage of each species) in each particular DO. This study suggests that satellite imagery has the potential to be a valuable tool for wine quality management and a decision-making instrument for DO regulators and winegrowers.

Abstract
Hanseniaspora vineae and Hanseniaspora opuntiae are apiculate yeasts normally found on the skins of ripe grapes and at the beginning of alcoholic fermentation. Several studies have reported that these species can provide interesting sensory characteristics to wine by contributing high levels of acetate esters and can increase the mouthfeel and body of wines. The present work aims to evaluate the use of these two species sequentially with Saccharomyces cerevisiae to improve the sensory profile of Albillo Mayor white wines. The fermentations were carried out in triplicate in 150 L stainless steel barrels. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation polysaccharides, colour, and an extensive study of the aromatic profiles were measured. Results showed up to 1.55 times higher content of 2-phenylethanol in H. opuntiae wines and up to three times higher concentration of fermentative esters in H. vineae wines than in the controls. Interestingly, it should be noted that the compound safranal was identified only in the H. vineae wines. These results indicated that the species studied are an interesting bio-tool to improve the aromatic profile of Albillo Mayor white wines. A novel non-targeted NMR-based metabolomics approach is proposed as a tool for optimising wine productions with standard and sequential fermentation schemes using apiculate yeast strains due to its discriminant capacity to differentiate fine features between wine samples from the identical geographical origin and grape variety but diverse fermentations or vintages.

Genetic improvement of non-conventional Torulaspora delbrueckii for traditional sparkling winemaking by mixing for eventual hybridization with Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract
Non-conventional yeasts such as Torulaspora delbrueckii (Td) have been proposed for sparkling winemaking. Unfortunately, this yeast has poor efficiency in completing wine fermentation as compared to Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc). New mutants with increased resistance to SO2, ethanol, and high CO2 pressure were previously isolated from spore clones of Td. Although these mutants showed improved capability for base wine fermentation, there is still room for genetic improvement of Td yeasts until the fermentative capacity of Sc is achieved. As an alternative approach, yeast mixture for eventual hybridization of Td with Sc was assayed in this study. The new yeast mixture clones (Sc-mixed Td) showed an intermediate phenotype between both parent yeasts for some relevant biotechnological properties, such as resistance to SO2, ethanol, copper, high CO2 pressure, and high temperature, as well as flocculation potential. These properties varied depending on the specific Sc-mixed Td clone. Several mixture clones showed improved capability for base wine fermentation as compared to the Td parent strain, approaching the fermentation capability of the Sc parent strain. The organoleptic quality of sparkling wine was also improved by using some mixture clones and this improved quality coincided with an increased amount of acetate and ethyl esters. The genetic stability of some Sc-mixed Td clones was good enough for commercial yeast production and winery applications.

Non-Saccharomyces Are Also Forming the Veil of Flor in Sherry Wines. FERMENTATION 2022.

Abstract
Biological ageing is an essential process for obtaining some distinctive Sherry wines, such as Fino and Manzanilla. It occurs after the fermentation of the grape must due to the appearance of a biofilm on the surface of the wine called “veil of flor”. Yeasts belonging to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae species mainly comprise such biofilm. Although other species have also been found, these have been traditionally considered spoilage. Indeed, it has even been hypothesised that they may not be able to form biofilm on their own under such conditions. In the present work, four different non-Saccharomyces yeasts isolated from barrels in the Jerez area under biological ageing have been characterised through their physiological abilities, including extracellular enzymatic and biofilm-forming capabilities. Results showed not only a surprising ethanol tolerance, above 15.5% in all cases, but also a significant degree of extracellular enzyme production, highlighting the urease and proteolytic activities found in Pichia manshurica, as well as lipolytic activity in Pichia kudriavzevii, Pichia membranifaciens and Wicherhamomyces anomalus. As a conclusion, these non-Saccharomyces could be very interesting in the oenological field, beyond improving the organoleptic characteristics as well as technological features in these wines.
