Abstract
BACKGROUND Yeast biosynthesizes fusel alcohols in fermentation through amino acid catabolism via the Ehrlich pathway. ARO8 and ARO9 genes are involved in the first step of the Ehrlich pathway, while ADH2 and ADH5 genes are involved in the last step. In this study, we describe RT-qPCR methods to determine the gene expression level of genes (ARO8, ARO9, ADH2, ADH5) found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc) and Metschnikowia pulcherrima (Mp) strains growth pasteurized white grape juice. METHODS AND RESULTS We used RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis protocols. The RT-qPCR efficiency of primer pairs was evaluated by generating a standard curve through serial dilution of yeast-derived cDNA. Method performance criteria were determined for each RT-qPCR assay. Then, we evaluated the gene expression levels of the four genes in all samples. RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis from yeast samples demonstrated the method's capability to generate high-yield, high-purity nucleic acids, supporting further RT-qPCR analysis. The highest normalized gene expression levels of ARO8 and ARO9 were observed in SC1, SC4, and SC5 samples. No significant difference in ADH2 gene expression among Mp strains was observed during the examination of ADH2 and ADH5 genes (p < 0.05). We observed no expression of the ADH5 gene in Mp strains except MP6 strain. The expression of ADH2 and ADH5 genes was higher in Sc strains compared to Mp strains. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that the proposed RT-qPCR methods can measure gene expression of ARO8, ARO9, ADH2, and ADH5 in Sc and Mp strains growing in pasteurized white grape juice.

Abstract
Hanseniaspora vineae exhibits extraordinary positive oenological characteristics contributing to the aroma and texture of wines, especially by its ability to produce great concentrations of benzenoid and phenylpropanoid compounds compared with conventional Saccharomyces yeasts. Consequently, in practice, sequential inoculation of H. vineae and Saccharomyces cerevisiae allows to improve the aromatic quality of wines. In this work, we evaluated the impact on wine aroma produced by increasing the concentration of phenylalanine, the main amino acid precursor of phenylpropanoids and benzenoids. Fermentations were carried out using a Chardonnay grape juice containing 150 mg N/L yeast assimilable nitrogen. Fermentations were performed adding 60 mg/L of phenylalanine without any supplementary addition to the juice. Musts were inoculated sequentially using three different H. vineae strains isolated from Uruguayan vineyards and, after 96 h, S. cerevisiae was inoculated to complete the process. At the end of the fermentation, wine aromas were analysed by both gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and sensory evaluation through a panel of experts. Aromas derived from aromatic amino acids were differentially produced depending on the treatments. Sensory analysis revealed more floral character and greater aromatic complexity when compared with control fermentations without phenylalanine added. Moreover, fermentations performed in synthetic must with pure H. vineae revealed that even tyrosine can be used in absence of phenylalanine, and phenylalanine is not used by this yeast for the synthesis of tyrosine derivatives.

Abstract
As a metaphor, lemons get a bad rap; however the proverb 'if life gives you lemons, make lemonade' is often used in a motivational context. The same could be said of Hanseniaspora in winemaking. Despite its predominance in vineyards and grape must, this lemon-shaped yeast is underappreciated in terms of its contribution to the overall sensory profile of fine wine. Species belonging to this apiculate yeast are known for being common isolates not just on grape berries, but on many other fruits. They play a critical role in the early stages of a fermentation and can influence the quality of the final product. Their deliberate addition within mixed-culture fermentations shows promise in adding to the complexity of a wine and thus provide sensorial benefits. Hanseniaspora species are also key participants in the fermentations of a variety of other foodstuffs ranging from chocolate to apple cider. Outside of their role in fermentation, Hanseniaspora species have attractive biotechnological possibilities as revealed through studies on biocontrol potential, use as a whole-cell biocatalyst and important interactions with Drosophila flies. The growing amount of 'omics data on Hanseniaspora is revealing interesting features of the genus that sets it apart from the other Ascomycetes. This review collates the fields of research conducted on this apiculate yeast genus.

Abstract
Yeasts have been widely used as a model to better understand cell cycle mechanisms and how nutritional and genetic factors can impact cell cycle progression. While nitrogen scarcity is well known to modulate cell cycle progression, the relevance of nitrogen excess for microorganisms has been overlooked. In our previous work, we observed an absence of proper entry into the quiescent state in Hanseniaspora vineae and identified a potential link between this behavior and nitrogen availability. Furthermore, the Hanseniaspora genus has gained attention due to a significant loss of genes associated with DNA repair and cell cycle. Thus, the aim of our study was to investigate the effects of varying nitrogen concentrations on H. vineae's cell cycle progression. Our findings demonstrated that nitrogen excess, regardless of the source, disrupts cell cycle progression and induces G2/M arrest in H. vineae after reaching the stationary phase. Additionally, we observed a viability decline in H. vineae cells in an ammonium-dependent manner, accompanied by increased production of reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial hyperpolarization, intracellular acidification, and DNA fragmentation. Overall, our study highlights the events of the cell cycle arrest in H. vineae induced by nitrogen excess and attempts to elucidate the possible mechanism triggering this absence of proper entry into the quiescent state.

Abstract
Understanding bacteria and yeasts communities can reduce unpredictable changes of apple cider. In this study, apple juice inoculated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae WET 136 and fermented spontaneously were compared, the relationships of bacteria, yeasts, organic acids, and volatiles were analyzed. Results showed that microbial diversity affected the fermentation, organic acids and volatiles in apple ciders. In the first four spontaneous fermentation days, LAB (lactic acid bacteria) multiplied and reached 7.89 lg CFU/mL, and then triggered malolactic fermentation (MLF), leading to malic acid decreased by 3880.52 mg/L and lactic acid increased by 4787.55 mg/L. The citric, succinic and fumaric acids content was 2171.14, 701.51 and 8.06 mg/L lower than that in inoculated cider, respectively. Although the yeasts multiplied during spontaneous fermentation, it did not reach 7.50 lg CFU/mL until the 5th day, which led to a long lag period, as well as later and lower production of acetaldehyde and higher alcohols. The inoculated yeast inhibited LAB, acetic acid bacteria, Rahnella, and non-Saccharomyces. Yeasts were the key to produce citric acid, acetaldehyde and 3-methyl-1-butanol in apple cider; while bacteria were closely related to the formation of lactic acid, acetic acid and ethyl acetate. It suggested that low higher alcohols and acetaldehyde can be realized by selecting yeasts, and Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides can work as candidate to reduce L-malic and citric acids in apple cider.

Abstract
The type and quantity of precursor amino acids present in grape must that are used by wine yeasts affect the organoleptic and health properties of wine. The aim of this work was to conduct a preliminary screening among Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces indigenous strains, which were previously isolated from different Italian regional grape varieties. This was performed in order to evaluate their decarboxylase activity on certain important amino acids-such as arginine, proline, serine, and tyrosine-that are present in grape must. In particular, a qualitative test on 122 wine yeasts was performed on a decarboxylase medium using arginine, proline, serine, and tyrosine as precursor amino acids. Our results showed a considerable variability among the microbial species tested for this parameter. Indeed, Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains exhibited a high decarboxylase capability of the four amino acids tested; moreover, only 10% of the total (i.e., a total of 81) did not show this trait. A high recovery of decarboxylation ability for at least one amino acid was also found for Zygosaccharomyces bailii and Hanseniaspora spp. These findings can, therefore, promote the inclusion of decarboxylase activity as an additional characteristic in a wine yeast selection program in order to choose starter cultures that possess desirable technological traits; moreover, this also can contribute to the safeguarding of consumer health.

Abstract
Caatinga Biome fruits have been scarcely explored as a source of biotechnological yeasts. This study isolated yeasts from naturally fermented Caatinga fruits and evaluated Hanseniaspora opuntiae125,Issatchenkia terricola 129, and Hanseniaspora opuntiae 148 on fermentation of soursop and umbu-cajá pulps. All strains were able to ferment the pulps (72 h), increasing (p < 0.05) acetic acid, phenolics concentration and bioaccessibility, and maintaining counts above 7 log CFU/mL after fermentation and/or in vitro digestion. H. opuntiae 125 showed the highest counts (8.43-8.76 log CFU/mL; p < 0.05) in pulps and, higher organic acids production, increased survival to digestion, and higher bioaccessibility of various phenolics (p < 0.05) in the umbu-cajá pulp.I. terricola129 andH. opuntiae 148 showed higher metabolic activity, concentration and bioaccessibility of specific phenolics in umbu-cajá and soursop pulps, respectively (p < 0.05). Volatiles varied (p < 0.05) with the yeast strain. Generally, the yeast biotechnological performance for pulp fermentation was better on its fruit source.

Abstract
Non-Saccharomyces yeasts represent a very attractive alternative for the production of beers with superior sensory quality since they are able to enhance the flavour of beer. Furthermore, they can produce beers with low ethanol content due to the weak fermentative capacity of a large percentage of non-Saccharomyces species. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of 34 non-Saccharomyces yeast strains isolated from Madrilenian agriculture to produce a novel ale beer. The non-Saccharomyces yeast strains were screened at two scales in the laboratory. In the first screening, those with undesirable aromas were discarded and the selected strains were analysed. Thirty-three volatile compounds were analysed by GC, as well as melatonin production by HPLC, for the selected strains. Thirteen strains were then fermented at a higher scale in the laboratory for sensory evaluation. Only yeast strains of the species Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Lachancea thermotolerans were able to complete fermentation. Species such as Torulaspora delbrueckii, Metschnikowia pulcherrima, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Hanseniaspora vineae, and Hanseniaspora guilliermondii could be used both for production of low ethanol beers and co-fermentation with a Saccharomyces yeast to improve the organoleptic characteristics of the beer. In addition, for these strains, the levels of melatonin obtained were higher than the concentrations found for Saccharomyces strains subjected to the same study conditions. The selected strains can be used in future trials to further determine their viability under different conditions and for different purposes.

Abstract
Although using non-Saccharomyces yeasts during alcoholic fermentation can improve the wine aroma, most of them are not ethanol tolerant; therefore, in 2017, this study screened 85 non-Saccharomyces yeasts isolated and identified from 24 vineyards in seven Chinese wine-producing regions, obtaining Pichia terricola strain H5, which displayed 8% ethanol tolerance. Strain H5 was subjected to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and diethyl sulfate (DES) mutagenesis treatment to obtain mutant strains with different fermentation characteristics from the parental H5. Compared with strain H5, the UV-irradiated strains, UV5 and UV8, showed significantly higher ethanol tolerance and fermentation capacity. Modified aroma profiles were also evident in the fermentation samples exposed to the mutants. Increased ethyl caprate, ethyl caprylate, and ethyl dodecanoate content were apparent in the UV5 samples, providing the wine with a distinctly floral, fruity, and spicy profile. Fermentation with strain UV8 produced a high ethyl acetate concentration, causing the wine to present a highly unpleasant odor. To a certain extent, UV irradiation improved the ethanol tolerance and fermentation ability of strain H5, changing the wine aroma profile. This study provides a theoretical basis for the industrial application of non-Saccharomyces yeasts that can improve wine flavor.

Abstract
Cell cycle progress variations among Hanseniaspora species. H. vineae shows an unusual cell cycle progress. H. vineae undergoes G2/M arrest in stationary phase.
Yeasts of the genus Hanseniaspora gained notoriety in the last years due to their contribution to wine quality, and their loss of several genes, mainly related to DNA repair and cell cycle processes. Based on genomic data from many members of this genus, they have been classified in two well defined clades: the “faster-evolving linage” (FEL) and the “slower-evolving lineage” (SEL). In this context, we had detected that H. vineae exhibited a rapid loss of cell viability in some conditions during the stationary phase compared to H. uvarum and S. cerevisiae. The present work aimed to evaluate the viability and cell cycle progression of representatives of Hanseniaspora species along their growth in an aerobic and discontinuous system. Cell growth, viability and DNA content were determined by turbidity, Trypan Blue staining, and flow cytometry, respectively. Results showed that H. uvarum and H. opuntiae (representing FEL group), and H. osmophila (SEL group) exhibited a typical G1/G0 (1C DNA) arrest during the stationary phase, as S. cerevisiae. Conversely, the three strains studied here of H. vineae (SEL group) arrested at G2/M stages of cell cycle (2C DNA), and lost viability rapidly when enter the stationary phase. These results showed that H. vineae have a unique cell cycle behavior that will contribute as a new eukaryotic model for future studies of genetic determinants of yeast cell cycle control and progression.

Abstract
Coculturing non-Saccharomyces yeasts with Saccharomyces cerevisiae could enrich the aromatic complexity of alcoholic beverages during cider brewing. Therefore, the present study performed rapid strain screening via selective culture medium and aroma analysis and adopted a response surface methodology to optimize fermentation conditions to produce 2-phenylethyl acetate (PEA), which presents a rose and honey scent. The effects of coculturing yeasts on cider quality were evaluated through hedonic sensory analysis and the check-all-that-apply (CATA) method. Hanseniaspora vineae P5 and S. cerevisiae P1 produced ciders with high levels of PEA and 2-phenylethanol, respectively. The optimal fermentation process consisted of sequential inoculation with a 31 h delay between inoculations, followed by fermentation for 14.5 d at 18.7 °C, yielding 17.41 ± 0.51 mg/L of PEA, which was 4.6-fold higher than that obtained through the unoptimized fermentation process. Additionally, the CATA results revealed that the cider produced through coculturing was associated with descriptors such as “smooth taste”, “honey”, “pineapple”, and “fruity”, which can be attributed to the high ethyl acetate and PEA levels in the cider.

Abstract
Biological control is an environmentally friendly, safe, and replaceable strategy for disease management. Genome sequences of a certain biocontrol agent could lay a solid foundation for the research of molecular biology, and the more refined the reference genome, the more information it provides. In the present study, a higher resolution genome of Kloeckera apiculata 34-9 was assembled using high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technology. A total of 8.07 M sequences of K. apiculata 34-9 genome was anchored onto 7 pesudochromosomes, which accounting for about 99.51% of the whole assembled sequences, and 4,014 protein-coding genes were annotated. Meanwhile, the detailed gene expression changes of K. apiculata 34-9 were obtained under low temperature and co-incubation with Penicillium digitatum treatments, respectively. Totally 254 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected with low temperature treatment, of which 184 and 70 genes were upregulated and downregulated, respectively. Some candidate genes were significantly enriched in ribosome biosynthesis in eukaryotes and ABC transporters. The expression of gene Kap003732 and Kap001595 remained upregulated and downregulated through the entire time-points, respectively, indicating that they might be core genes for positive and negative response to low temperature stress. When co-incubation with P. digitatum, a total of 2,364 DEGs were found, and there were 1,247 upregulated and 1,117 downregulated genes, respectively. Biosynthesis of lysine and arginine, and phenylalanine metabolism were the highest enrichment of the cluster and KEGG analyses of the co-DEGs, the results showed that they might be involved in the positive regulation of K. apiculata 34-9 response to P. digitatum. The completeness of K. apiculata 34-9 genome and the transcriptome data presented here are essential for providing a high-quality genomic resource and it might serve as valuable molecular properties for further studies on yeast genome, expression pattern of biocontrol system, and postharvest citrus storage and preservation.

Bioprospecting of indigenous yeasts involved in cocoa fermentation using sensory and chemical strategies for selecting a starter inoculum. Food Microbiol 2021; 101:103896. [PMID: 34579856 DOI: 10.1016/j.fm.2021.103896] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2021] [Revised: 07/11/2021] [Accepted: 09/01/2021] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
Cocoa fermentation is the key and most relevant process in the synthesis of aroma and flavor precursor molecules in dry beans or raw material for producing chocolate. Because this process occurs in an uncontrolled manner, the chemical and sensory quality of beans can vary and be negatively affected. One of the strategies for the standardization and improvement of the sensory quality of chocolate is the introduction of microbial starter cultures. Among these, yeasts involved in fermentation have been studied because of their pectinolytic and metabolic potential in the production of volatile compounds. This study was aimed at isolating and characterizing, both sensory and chemically, yeasts involved in cocoa fermentation that could be used as starter cultures from two agro-ecological regions for the cultivation of cocoa in Colombia. The microbiological analyses identified 22 species represented mostly by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Wickerhamomyces anomalus and Pichia sp. The preliminary sensory analysis of eight of these species showed that Hanseniaspora thailandica and Pichia kluyveri presented sensory profiles characterized by high intensity levels of fruity notes, which could be ascribed to the production of ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, and 2-phenylethyl acetate.

Carrau F, Henschke PA. Hanseniaspora vineae and the Concept of Friendly Yeasts to Increase Autochthonous Wine Flavor Diversity. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:702093.

Abstract
In this perspective, we will explain the concept of “friendly” yeasts for developing wine starters that do not suppress desirable native microbial flora at the initial steps of fermentation, as what usually happens with Saccharomyces strains. Some non-Saccharomyces strains might allow the development of yeast consortia with the native terroir microflora of grapes and its region. The positive contribution of non-Saccharomyces yeasts was underestimated for decades. Avoiding them as spoilage strains and off-flavor producers was the main objective in winemaking. It is understandable, as in our experience after more than 30 years of wine yeast selection, it was shown that no more than 10% of the isolated native strains were positive contributors of superior flavors. Some species that systematically gave desirable flavors during these screening processes were Hanseniaspora vineae and Metschnikowia fructicola. In contrast to the latter, H. vineae is an active fermentative species, and this fact helped to build an improved juice ecosystem, avoiding contaminations of aerobic bacteria and yeasts. Furthermore, this species has a complementary secondary metabolism with S. cerevisiae, increasing flavor complexity with benzenoid and phenylpropanoid synthetic pathways practically inexistent in conventional yeast starters. How does H. vineae share the fermentation niche with other yeast strains? It might be due to the friendly conditions it creates, such as ideal low temperatures and low nitrogen demand during fermentation, reduced synthesis of medium-chain fatty acids, and a rich acetylation capacity of aromatic higher alcohols, well-known inhibitors of many yeasts. We will discuss here how inoculation of H. vineae strains can give the winemaker an opportunity to develop ideal conditions for flavor expression of the microbial terroir without the risk of undesirable strains that can result from spontaneous yeast fermentations.

Abstract
Hanseniaspora species are the main yeasts isolated from grapes and grape musts. Regarding genetic and phenotypical characterization, especially fermentative behavior, they can be classified in two technological clusters: the fruit group and the fermentation group. Among the species belonging to the last group, Hanseniaspora osmophila and Hanseniaspora vineae have been previously isolated in spontaneous fermentations of grape must. In this work, the oenological aptitudes of the two species of the fermentation group were compared with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the main species of the fruit group, Hanseniaspora uvarum. Both H. osmophila and H. vineae conferred a positive aroma to final wines and no sensory defects were detected. Wines fermented with H. vineae presented significantly higher concentrations of 2-phenylethyl, tryptophol and tyrosol acetates, acetoin, mevalonolactone, and benzyl alcohol compared to H. osmophila. Sensorial analysis showed increased intensity of fruity and flowery notes in wines vinificated with H. vineae. In an evolutionary context, the detoxification of alcohols through a highly acetylation capacity might explain an adaption to fermentative environments. It was concluded that, although H. vineae show close alcohol fermentation adaptations to H. osmophila, the increased activation of phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway is a particular characteristic of H. vineae within this important apiculate genus.

Abstract
This work aimed at studying the unconfirmed hypothesis predicting the existence of a connection between coffee farm microbiome and the resulting spontaneous fermentation process. Using Illumina-based amplicon sequencing, 360 prokaryotes and 397 eukaryotes were identified from coffee fruits and leaves, over-ripe fruits, water used for coffee de-pulping, depulped coffee beans, soil, and temporal fermentation samples at an experimental farm in Honduras. Coffee fruits and leaves were mainly associated with high incidence of Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas, Colletotrichum, and Cladosporium. The proportion of Enterobacteriaceae was increased when leaves and fruits were collected on the ground compared to those from the coffee tree. Coffee farm soil showed the richest microbial diversity with marked presence of Bacillus. Following the fermentation process, microorganisms present in depulped coffee beans (Leuconostoc, Gluconobater, Pichia, Hanseniaspora, and Candida) represented more than 90% of the total microbial community, which produced lactic acid, ethanol, and several volatile compounds. The community ecology connections described in this study showed that coffee fruit provides beneficial microorganisms for the fermentation process. Enterobacteria, Colletotrichum, and other microbial groups present in leaves, fruit surface, over-ripe fruits, and soil may transfer unwanted aromas to coffee beans, so they should be avoided from having access to the fermentation tank.

Abstract
Wine can be defined as a complex microbial ecosystem, where different microorganisms interact in the function of different biotic and abiotic factors. During natural fermentation, the effect of unpredictable interactions between microorganisms and environmental factors leads to the establishment of a complex and stable microbiota that will define the kinetics of the process and the final product. Controlled multistarter fermentation represents a microbial approach to achieve the dual purpose of having a less risky process and a distinctive final product. Indeed, the interactions evolved between microbial consortium members strongly modulate the final sensorial properties of the wine. Therefore, in well-managed mixed fermentations, the knowledge of molecular mechanisms on the basis of yeast interactions, in a well-defined ecological niche, becomes fundamental to control the winemaking process, representing a tool to achieve such objectives. In the present work, the recent development on the molecular and metabolic interactions between non-Saccharomyces and Saccharomyces yeasts in wine fermentation was reviewed. A particular focus will be reserved on molecular studies regarding the role of nutrients, the production of the main byproducts and volatile compounds, ethanol reduction, and antagonistic actions for biological control in mixed fermentations.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) perform the process of malolactic fermentation (MLF) in wine. Availability of oxygen and nitrogen nutrients could influence LAB growth, malolactic activity, and other metabolic pathways, impacting the subsequent wine quality. The impact of these two factors has received limited investigation within LAB, especially on a transcriptome level. The aim of this study was to evaluate metabolic changes in the strain Lactiplantibacillus plantarum IWBT B063, growing in synthetic grape juice medium (GJM) under different oxygen exposure conditions, and with low availability of nitrogen-based nutrients. Next-generation sequencing was used to analyze expression across the transcriptome (RNA-seq), in combination with conventional microbiological and chemical analysis. L. plantarum consumed the malic acid present in all the conditions evaluated, with a slight delay and impaired growth for nitrogen limitation and for anaerobiosis. Comparison of L. plantarum transcriptome during growth in GJM with and without O2 revealed differential expression of 148 functionally annotated genes, which were mostly involved in carbohydrate metabolism, genetic information processing, and signaling and cellular processes. In particular, genes with a protective role against oxidative stress and genes related to amino acid metabolism were differentially expressed. This study confirms the suitability of L. plantarum IWBT B063 to carry out MLF in different environmental conditions due to its potential adaption to the stress conditions tested and provides a better understanding of the genetic background of an industrially relevant strain.

Abstract
Wine is an archetypal traditional fermented beverage with strong territorial and socio-cultural connotations. Its 7000 year history is patterned by a tradition of innovation. Every value-adding innovation − whether in the vineyard, winery, supply chain or marketplace − that led to the invention of a new tradition spurred progress and created a brighter future from past developments. In a way, wine traditions can be defined as remembered innovations from the distant past − inherited knowledge and wisdom that withstood the test of time. Therefore, it should not be assumed a priori that tradition and innovation are polar opposites. The relations between the forces driven by the anchors of tradition and the wings of innovation do not necessarily involve displacement, conflict or exclusiveness. Innovation can strengthen wine tradition, and the reinvention of a tradition-bound practice, approach or concept can foster innovation. In cases where a paradigm-shifting innovation disrupts a tradition, the process of such an innovation transitioning into a radically new tradition can become protracted while proponents of divergent opinions duke it out. Sometimes these conflicting opinions are based on fact, and sometimes not. The imperfections of such a debate between the ‘ancients’ and the ‘moderns’ can, from time to time, obscure the line between myth and reality. Therefore, finding the right balance between traditions worth keeping and innovations worth implementing can be complex. The intent here is to harness the creative tension between science fiction and science fact when innovation's first-principles challenge the status quo by re-examining the foundational principles about a core traditional concept, such as terroir. Poignant questions are raised about the importance of the terroir (biogeography) of yeasts and the value of the microbiome of grapes to wine quality. This article imagines a metaphorical terroir free from cognitive biases where diverse perspectives can converge to uncork the effervescent power of territorial yeast populations as well as ‘nomadic’ yeast starter cultures. At the same time, this paper also engages in mental time-travel. A future scenario is imagined, explored, tested and debated where terroir-less yeast avatars are equipped with designer genomes to safely and consistently produce, individually or in combination with region-specific wild yeasts and or other starter cultures, high-quality wine according to the preferences of consumers in a range of markets. The purpose of this review is to look beyond the horizon and to synthesize a link between what we know now and what could be. This article informs readers where to look without suggesting what they must see as a way forward. In the context of one of the world's oldest fermentation industries − steeped in a rich history of tradition and innovation − the mantra here is: respect the past, lead the present and secure the future of wine.

Abstract
Hanseniaspora vineae is a non-Saccharomyces yeast that has a powerful impact on the sensory profile of wines. Its effect on the aromatic profile of non-aromatic grape varieties, such as Albillo Mayor (Vitis vinifera, L), during vinification is a useful biotechnology to improve sensory complexity. Fermentation in steel barrels using Hanseniaspora vineae and sequential inoculation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been used to study the formation of terpenes and cell lysis in the production of Albillo white wines. The GC-MS analysis profile shows a significant effect of H. vineae fermentation on the contents of terpenes (≈×3), mainly in linalool (>×3), β-citronellol (>×4), geraniol (>×2) and α-terpineol (≈×2). The contents of several polyoxygenated terpenes and some volatile phenols with a spicy aroma were increased during fermentation. In summary, Hanseniaspora vineae releases a large number of cell wall polysaccharides during fermentation that affect wine palatability and structure. Hanseniaspora vineae is a powerful bio-tool to enhance the fruitiness, floral notes and freshness in non-aromatic white varieties.

Abstract
In this work was evaluated the effect of sequential inoculum of Hanseniaspora uvarum AS27 strain and a commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast on the physical–chemical and organoleptic features of Aglianico, a traditional red wine of Southern Italy. Four fermentation treatments on a pilot scale were performed. In fermentation treatment A, the alcoholic fermentation was spontaneously conducted by the indigenous yeasts present in grape must. In the fermentation treatments B and C were inoculated respectively S. cerevisiae FE and H. uvarum AS27 strains, as a single starter. The fermentation treatment D was initially inoculated with H. uvarum AS27, and S. cerevisiae strain was added after 72 h (sequential inoculation). Microbiological, physical–chemical parameters and sensory profiles of the wines have been defined. The results showed that the use of H. uvarum AS27, in sequential inoculum with S. cerevisiae FE, influenced the wine composition, enriching it in polyphenolic and volatile compounds. Further, the sensory evaluation showed that the use of H. uvarum AS27 strain, in co-culture with S. cerevisiae, gives the wine more pleasant characteristics. Therefore, the results have highlighted how the use of particular non-Saccharomyces yeasts can represent a biotechnological resource in red wine production.

The Mandelate Pathway, an Alternative to the Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyase Pathway for the Synthesis of Benzenoids in Ascomycete Yeasts. Appl Environ Microbiol 2020; 86:AEM.00701-20.

Abstract
Benzenoid-derived metabolites act as precursors for a wide variety of products involved in essential metabolic roles in eukaryotic cells. They are synthesized in plants and some fungi through the phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and tyrosine ammonia lyase (TAL) pathways. Ascomycete yeasts and animals both lack the capacity for PAL/TAL pathways, and metabolic reactions leading to benzenoid synthesis in these organisms have remained incompletely known for decades. Here, we show genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic evidence that yeasts use a mandelate pathway to synthesize benzenoids, with some similarities to pathways used by bacteria. We conducted feeding experiments using a synthetic fermentation medium that contained either 13C-phenylalanine or 13C-tyrosine, and, using methylbenzoylphosphonate (MBP) to inhibit benzoylformate decarboxylase, we were able to accumulate intracellular intermediates in the yeast Hanseniaspora vineae To further confirm this pathway, we tested in separate fermentation experiments three mutants with deletions in the key genes putatively proposed to form benzenoids (Saccharomyces cerevisiae aro10Δ, dld1Δ, and dld2Δ strains). Our results elucidate the mechanism of benzenoid synthesis in yeast through phenylpyruvate linked with the mandelate pathway to produce benzyl alcohol and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde from the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine, as well as sugars. These results provide an explanation for the origin of the benzoquinone ring, 4-hydroxybenzoate, and suggest that Aro10p has benzoylformate and 4-hydroxybenzoylformate decarboxylase functions in yeast.IMPORTANCE We present here evidence of the existence of the mandelate pathway in yeast for the synthesis of benzenoids. The link between phenylpyruvate- and 4-hydroxyphenlypyruvate-derived compounds with the corresponding synthesis of benzaldehydes through benzoylformate decarboxylation is demonstrated. Hanseniaspora vineae was used in these studies because of its capacity to produce benzenoid derivatives at a level 2 orders of magnitude higher than that produced by Saccharomyces Contrary to what was hypothesized, neither β-oxidation derivatives nor 4-coumaric acid is an intermediate in the synthesis of yeast benzenoids. Our results might offer an answer to the long-standing question of the origin of 4-hydroxybenzoate for the synthesis of Q10 in humans.

Abstract
Hanseniaspora species can be isolated from grapes and grape musts, but after the initiation of spontaneous fermentation, they are displaced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Hanseniaspora vineae is particularly valuable since this species improves the flavour of wines and has an increased capacity to ferment relative to other apiculate yeasts. Genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic studies in H. vineae have enhanced our understanding of its potential utility within the wine industry. Here, we compared gene sequences of 12 glycolytic and fermentation pathway enzymes from five sequenced Hanseniaspora species and S. cerevisiae with the corresponding enzymes encoded within the two sequenced H. vineae genomes. Increased levels of protein similarity were observed for enzymes of H. vineae and S. cerevisiae, relative to the remaining Hanseniaspora species. Key differences between H. vineae and H. uvarum pyruvate kinase enzymes might explain observed differences in fermentative capacity. Further, the presence of eight putative alcohol dehydrogenases, invertase activity, and sulfite tolerance are distinctive characteristics of H. vineae, compared to other Hanseniaspora species. The definition of two clear technological groups within the Hanseniaspora genus is discussed within the slow and fast evolution concept framework previously discovered in these apiculate yeasts.

Abstract
Benzenoids are compounds associated with floral and fruity flavours in flowers, fruits and leaves and present a role in hormonal signalling in plants. These molecules are produced by the phenyl ammonia lyase pathway. However, some yeasts can also synthesize them from aromatic amino acids using an alternative pathway that remains unknown. Hanseniaspora vineae can produce benzenoids at levels up to two orders of magnitude higher than Saccharomyces species, so it is a model microorganism for studying benzenoid biosynthesis pathways in yeast. According to their genomes, several enzymes have been proposed to be involved in a mandelate pathway similar to that described for some prokaryotic cells. Among them, the ARO10 gene product could present benzoylformate decarboxylase activity. This enzyme catalyses the decarboxylation of benzoylformate into benzaldehyde at the end of the mandelate pathway in benzyl alcohol formation. Two homologous genes of ARO10 were found in the two sequenced H. vineae strains. In this study, nine other H. vineae strains were analysed to detect the presence and per cent homology of ARO10 sequences by PCR using specific primers designed for this species. Also, the copy number of the genes was estimated by quantitative PCR. To verify the relation of ARO10 with the production of benzyl alcohol during fermentation, a deletion mutant in the ARO10 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used. The two HvARO10 paralogues were analysed and compared with other α-ketoacid decarboxylases at the sequence and structural level.

Abstract
Hanseniaspora vineae is an apiculate yeast that plays a significant role at the beginning of fermentation, and it has been studied for its application in the improvement of the aromatic profile of commercial wines. This work evaluates the use of H. vineae in alcoholic fermentation compared to Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in ageing on the lees process (AOL) compared to Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeasts. The results indicated that there were not significant differences in basic oenological parameters. H. vineae completed the fermentation until 11.9% v/v of ethanol and with a residual sugars content of less than 2 g/L. Different aroma profiles were obtained in the wines, with esters concentration around 90 mg/L in H. vineae wines. Regarding the AOL assay, the hydroalcoholic solutions aged with H. vineae lees showed significantly higher absorbance values at 260 (nucleic acids) and 280 nm (proteins) compared to the other strains. However, non-significant differences were found in the polysaccharide content at the end of the ageing process were found compared to the other yeast species, with the exception of Schizosaccharomyces pombe that released around 23.5 mg/L of polysaccharides in hydroalcoholic solution. The use of H. vineae by the wineries may be a viable method in fermentation and AOL to improve the quality of white wines.

Abstract
Freshness, although it is a concept difficult to define in wines, can be understood as a combination of different circumstances. Organolepticwise, bluish red, floral and fruity, more acidic and full-bodied wines, are perceived as younger and fresher by consumers. In traditional winemaking processes, these attributes are hard to boost if no other technology or biotechnology is involved. In this regard, the right selection of yeast strains plays an important role in meeting these parameters and obtaining wines with fresher profiles. Another approach in getting fresh wines is through the use of novel non-thermal technologies during winemaking. Herein, the contributions of non-Saccharomyces yeasts and emerging technologies to these parameters are reviewed and discussed.

Abstract
Kloeckera apiculata plays an important role in the inhibition of citrus postharvest blue and green mould diseases. This study was based on the previous genome sequencing of K. apiculata strain 34-9. After homologous comparison, scaffold 27 was defined as the mitochondrial (mt) sequence of K. apiculata 34-9. The comparison showed a high level of sequence identity between scaffold 27 and the known mtDNA of Hanseniaspora uvarum. The genome sequence of H. vineae T02/19AF showed several short and discontinuous fragments homologous to the mtDNA of H. uvarum. The shared and specific genes of K. apiculata, H. uvarum, and H. vineae were analysed by family using the TreeFam methodology. GO analysis was used to classify the shared and specific genes. Most of the gene families were classified into the functional categories of cellular component and metabolic processes. The whole-genome phylogram and genome synteny analysis showed that K. apiculata was more closely related to H. uvarum than to H. vineae. The genomic comparisons clearly displayed the locations of the homologous regions in each genome. This analysis could contribute to discovering the genomic similarities and differences within the genus Hanseniaspora. In addition, some regions were not collinearity-matched in the genome of K. apiculata compared with that of H. uvarum or H. vineae, and these sequences might have resulted from evolutionary variations.
