Abstract
Wine is a highly complex mixture of components with different chemical natures. These components largely define wine's appearance, aroma, taste, and mouthfeel properties. Among them, aroma is among the most important indicators of wine's sensory characteristics. The essence of winemaking ecosystem is the process of metabolic activities of diverse microbes including yeasts, lactic acid bacteria, and molds, which result in wines with complicated and diversified aromas. A better understanding of how these microbes affect wine's aroma is a crucial step to producing premium quality wine. This study illustrates existing knowledge on the diversity and classification of wine aroma compounds and their microbial origin. Their contributions to wine characteristics are discussed, as well. Furthermore, we review the relationship between these microbes and wine aroma characteristics. This review broadens the discussion of wine aroma compounds to include more modern microbiological concepts, and it provides relevant background and suggests new directions for future research.

Analysis of volatile compounds production kinetics: A study of the impact of nitrogen addition and temperature during alcoholic fermentation. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1124970.

Abstract
Among the different compounds present in the must, nitrogen is an essential nutrient for the management of fermentation kinetics, also playing a major role in the synthesis of fermentative aromas. Fermentation temperature is yet another variable that affects fermentation duration and the production of fermentative aromas in wine. The main objective of this study was thus to evaluate the combined effects of nitrogen addition-at the start of the fermentation process or during the stationary phase-at different fermentation temperatures on both fermentation kinetics and aroma synthesis kinetics. To study the impact of these three parameters simultaneously, we used an innovative transdisciplinary approach associating an online GC-MS system with an original modeling approach: a Box-Behnken experimental design combined with response surface modeling and GAM modeling. Our results indicated that all three factors studied had significant effects on fermentation and aroma production kinetics. These parameters did not impact in the same way the different families of volatile compounds. At first, obtained data showed that reduction of ester accumulation in the liquid phase at high temperature was mainly due to important losses by evaporation but also to modifications of yeast metabolic capabilities to synthetize these compounds. In a noticeable way, optimal temperature changed for liquid accumulation of the two classes of esters-23°C for acetate ester and 18°C for ethyl esters-because biological impact of temperature was different for the two chemical families. Moreover, the study of these three factors simultaneously allowed us to show that propanol is not only a marker of the presence of assimilable nitrogen in the medium but above all a marker of cellular activity. Finally, this work enabled us to gain a deeper understanding of yeast metabolism regulation. It also underlines the possibility to refine the organoleptic profile of a wine by targeting the ideal combination of fermentation temperature with initial and added nitrogen concentrations. Such observation was particularly true for isoamyl acetate for which interactions between the three factors were very strong.

Abstract
Given crude oil prices and their environmental impacts, the use of sustainable renewable alternative energies such as biofuels is rapidly progressing in numerous countries. Among biofuels, bioethanol is a renewable and clean fuel that can be obtained from the fermentation of several raw agricultural materials, including date fruit. However, the low product yield, mainly due to the low-grade nutrient content, limits its use as a promising alternative biofuel. This current study investigated bioethanol production from date by-products in Saudi Arabia and examined the impact of calcium and nitrogen sources added at different concentrations (0 to 1 g/L) on the productivity and ethanol concentration using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Yeast extracts and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) were tested as nitrogen sources for bioethanol fermentation from date juice. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) were evaluated as calcium sources for the same purpose mentioned above. The results showed that both calcium and nitrogen sources improved ethanol production efficiencies. The addition of calcium sources such as CaCl2 at 0.4 g/L resulted in maximum ethanol concentration (41.5 ± 0.85 g/L) and the highest productivity of 0.511 g/L/h. Thus, an increase of 31.3% compared to the control sample was acquired. Ammonium chloride was found to be the best nitrogen supplement among them. Indeed, supplementing the fermentation medium with 1 g/L NH4Cl gave an optimal ethanol concentration and productivity, reaching more than 65 g/L and 0.83 g/L/h, respectively. This is an increase of 106.6%. The functional group of ethanol (C2H5OH) for all the elaborated samples was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and NMR analyses. Moreover, the results confirmed the high quality and purity of the bioethanol products. Thus, the “Khodhari” date variety of low market value is a privileged substrate for industrial bioethanol production. For this reason, a proposed flow diagram of a designed plant for bioethanol industrialization is provided and detailed.

Abstract
A wine’s aroma profile is an important part of the criteria affecting wine acceptability by consumers. Its characterisation is complex because volatile molecules usually belong to different classes such as alcohols, esters, aldehydes, acids, terpenes, phenols and lactones with a wide range of polarity, concentrations and undesirable off-aromas. This review focused on mechanisms and conditions of the formation of individual aroma compounds in wine such as esters and higher alcohols by yeast during fermentation. Additionally, aroma losses during fermentation are currently the subject of many studies because they can lead to a reduction in wine quality. Principles of aroma losses, their prevention and recovery techniques are described in this review.

The Timing of Nitrogen Addition Impacts Yeast Genes Expression and the Production of Aroma Compounds During Wine Fermentation. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:829786. [PMID: 35273585 PMCID: PMC8902367 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.829786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2021] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Among the different compounds present in the must, nitrogen is an essential nutrient for the management of fermentation kinetics but also plays an important role in the synthesis of fermentative aromas. To address the problems related to nitrogen deficiencies, nitrogen additions during alcoholic fermentation have been implemented. The consequences of such additions on the main reaction are well known. However, their impact on aromas synthesis is still poorly understood. So, the main objective of this study was to determine the impact of nitrogen addition during the stationary phase on both the fermentation kinetics and aroma synthesis. To reach this goal, we used a transdisciplinary approach combining statistical modeling (Box-Behnken design and response surface modeling) and gene expression study (transcriptomic analysis). Our results indicated that nitrogen metabolism, central carbon metabolism (CCM), fermentation kinetics and aroma production were significantly impacted by nitrogen addition. The most remarkable point was the different regulation of the bioconversion of higher alcohols into acetate esters on one hand and of fatty acids into ethyl esters on the other hand. We highlighted that the conversion of higher alcohols into acetate esters was maximum when nitrogen was added at the beginning of the stationary phase. Conversely, the highest conversion of acids into ethyl esters was reached when nitrogen was added close to the end of the stationary phase. Moreover, even if the key element in the production of these two ester families appeared to be the enzymatic activity responsible for their production, rather than the availability of the corresponding precursors, these enzymatic activities were differently regulated. For acetate esters, the regulation occurred at gene level: the ATF2 gene was overexpressed following nitrogen addition during the stationary phase. On the opposite, no induction of gene expression was noted for ethyl esters; it seemed that there was an allosteric regulation.

Abstract
In order to understand the influence of nitrogen and lipid nutrition on the aromatic quality of wines for cognac distillation, we developed a transdisciplinary approach that combined statistical modeling (experimental central composite design and response surface modeling) with metabolomic analysis. Three Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that met the requirements of cognac appellation were tested at a laboratory scale (1 L) and a statistical analysis of covariance was performed to highlight the organoleptic profile (fermentative aromas, terpenes, alcohols and aldehydes) of each strain. The results showed that nitrogen and lipid nutrients had an impact on the aromatic quality of cognac wines: high lipid concentrations favored the production of organic acids, 1-octen-3-ol and terpenes and inhibited the synthesis of esters. Beyond this trend, each yeast strain displayed its own organoleptic characteristics but had identical responses to different nutritional conditions.

Abstract
Organic nitrogen plays a significant role in the fermentation performance and production of esters and higher alcohols. This study assessed the use of yeast protein hydrolysate (YPH) as a nitrogen source for grape must fermentation. In this study, we prepared an enzymatic protein hydrolysate using yeasts recovered from a previous fermentation of wine. Three treatments were performed. DAP supplementation was used as a control, while two YPH treatments were used. Low (LDH) and high degrees of hydrolysis (HDH), 3.5% and 10%, respectively, were chosen. Gas chromatography and principal component analysis indicated a significant positive influence of YPH-supplementations on the production of esters and higher alcohols. Significantly high concentrations of 3-methyl-1-penthanol, isoamyl alcohol, isobutanol, and 2-phenylethanol were observed. Significant odorant activity was obtained for 3-methyl-1-pentanol and ethyl-2-hexenoate. The use of YPH as nitrogen supplementation is justified as a recycling yeasts technique by the increase in volatile compounds.

Nitrogenous Compound Utilization and Production of Volatile Organic Compounds among Commercial Wine Yeasts Highlight Strain-Specific Metabolic Diversity. Microbiol Spectr 2021; 9:e0048521.

Abstract
Genetic background and environmental conditions affect the production of sensory impact compounds by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The relative importance of the strain-specific metabolic capabilities for the production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) remains unclear. We investigated which amino acids contribute to VOC production and whether amino acid-VOC relations are conserved among yeast strains. Amino acid consumption and production of VOCs during grape juice fermentation was investigated using four commercial wine yeast strains: Elixir, Opale, R2, and Uvaferm. Principal component analysis of the VOC data demonstrated that Uvaferm correlated with ethyl acetate and ethyl hexanoate production, R2 negatively correlated with the acetate esters, and Opale positively correlated with fusel alcohols. Biomass formation was similar for all strains, pointing to metabolic differences in the utilization of nutrients to form VOCs. Partial least-squares linear regression showed that total aroma production is a function of nitrogen utilization (R2 = 0.87). We found that glycine, tyrosine, leucine, and lysine utilization were positively correlated with fusel alcohols and acetate esters. Mechanistic modeling of the yeast metabolic network via parsimonious flux balance analysis and flux enrichment analysis revealed enzymes with crucial roles, such as transaminases and decarboxylases. Our work provides insights in VOC production in wine yeasts. IMPORTANCE Saccharomyces cerevisiae is widely used in grape juice fermentation to produce wines. Along with the genetic background, the nitrogen in the environment in which S. cerevisiae grows impacts its regulation of metabolism. Also, commercial S. cerevisiae strains exhibit immense diversity in their formation of aromas, and a desirable aroma bouquet is an essential characteristic for wines. Since nitrogen affects aroma formation in wines, it is essential to know the extent of this connection and how it leads to strain-dependent aroma profiles in wines. We evaluated the differences in the production of key aroma compounds among four commercial wine strains. Moreover, we analyzed the role of nitrogen utilization on the formation of various aroma compounds. This work illustrates the unique aroma-producing differences among industrial yeast strains and suggests more intricate, nitrogen-associated routes influencing those aroma-producing differences.

Abstract
In modern oenology, supplementation of nitrogen sources is an important strategy to prevent sluggish or stuck fermentation. The present study thoroughly determined the effect of nitrogen addition timing and nitrogen source type on fermentation kinetics and aroma production, carried out by yeast strains with low and high nitrogen requirements. The results revealed that yeast strains with different nitrogen requirements have divergent reactions to nitrogen addition. Nitrogen addition clearly shortened the fermentation duration, especially for the high-nitrogen-demanding yeast strain. Nitrogen addition at 1/3 fermentation was the most effective in terms of fermentation activity, nitrogen assimilation, and production of acetate esters. Interestingly enough, yeast cells preferentially took up amino acids related to fermentative aroma synthesis with the addition at 2/3 fermentation. The addition of nitrogen sources also largely affected the production of important metabolites. Generally speaking, acetic acid, glycerol, and succinic acid reduced with the supplementation of nitrogen sources. The results revealed significant application importance for the winemaking industry.

Abstract
In alcoholic fermentation, under oenological conditions, the environmental parameters impacting fermentation kinetics and aroma production have been widely studied. The nitrogen content of grape must was found to be one of the most important parameters for both of these aspects of fermentation. Many studies have been performed on the effect of mineral nitrogen addition. However, it has increasingly been observed that the nature of the nitrogen added leads to different results. Our work focused on the effects of peptide addition on both fermentation kinetics and aroma production. Peptides are one of the less well understood sources of assimilable nitrogen, as their incorporation by yeast remains unclear. In this study, we compared the effect of the addition of a “classic” assimilable nitrogen source (ammonium + amino acids) with that of peptide addition in both white and red must fermentation by screening 18 Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains in total. Our data show that peptide addition enhances fermentation kinetics and leads to specific changes in the production of fermentative aromas. The impact of peptides on thiol synthesis is rather limited.

Impact of Nutrient Availability on the Fermentation and Production of Aroma Compounds Under Sequential Inoculation With M. pulcherrima and S. cerevisiae. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:305.

Abstract
Non-Saccharomyces yeasts are currently widely used in winemaking to enhance aroma profile diversity among wines. The use of Metschnikowia pulcherrima in sequential inoculation with S. cerevisiae was compared to the inoculation of a pure culture of S. cerevisiae. Moreover, various concentrations of sugar, nitrogen and lipids were tested in synthetic must to assess their impact on fermentation and its outcomes using a Box-Behnken design. Due to its phenotypic specificities, early inoculation with M. pulcherrima led to important modifications, first altering the fermentation kinetics. This may relate, at least in part, to the depletion of some nitrogen sources by M. pulcherrima during the first part of fermentation. Beyond these negative interactions on fermentation performance, comparisons between pure cultures and sequentially inoculated cultures revealed changes in the distribution of carbon fluxes during fermentation in presence of M. pulcherrima, resulting in a positive impact on the production of central carbon metabolites and aromas. Furthermore, the expression of varietal thiols was strongly increased as a consequence of positive interactions between the two species. The mechanism of this release still needs to be investigated. Significant differences in the final concentrations of fermentative and varietal aromas depending on the initial must composition were obtained under both inoculation strategies. Interestingly, the response to changes in nutrient availability varied according to the inoculation modality. In particular, a greater incidence of lipids on the production of fatty acids and their ethyl esters derivatives was found during sequential fermentation compared with pure culture, to be viewed in combination with the metabolic characteristics of M. pulcherrima regarding the production of volatile compounds from acetyl-CoA. Overall, the importance of managing nutrient availability under M. pulcherrima/S. cerevisiae sequential inoculation in order to derive the maximum benefit from the potentialities of the non-Saccharomyces species while carrying out fermentation to dryness was highlighted.

Abstract
Non-Saccharomyces yeasts have long been considered spoilage microorganisms. Currently, oenological interest in those species is increasing, mostly due to their positive contribution to wine quality. In this work, the fermentative capacity and nitrogen consumption of several non-Saccharomyces wine yeast (Torulaspora delbrueckii, Lachancea thermotolerans, Starmerella bacillaris, Hanseniaspora uvarum, and Metschnikowia pulcherrima) were analyzed. For this purpose, synthetic must with three different nitrogen compositions was used: a mixture of amino acids and ammonium, only organic or inorganic nitrogen. The fermentation kinetics, nitrogen consumption, and yeast growth were measured over time. Our results showed that the good fermentative strains, T. delbrueckii and L. thermotolerans, had high similarities with Saccharomyces cerevisiae in terms of growth, fermentation profile, and nitrogen assimilation preferences, although L. thermotolerans presented an impaired behavior when only amino acids or ammonia were used, being strain-specific. M. pulcherrima was the non-Saccharomyces strain least affected by the nitrogen composition of the medium. The other two poor fermentative strains, H. uvarum and S. bacillaris, behaved similarly regarding amino acid uptake, which occurred earlier than that of the good fermentative species in the absence of ammonia. The results obtained in single non-Saccharomyces fermentations highlighted the importance of controlling nitrogen requirements of the wine yeasts, mainly in sequential fermentations, in order to manage a proper nitrogen supplementation, when needed.

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
Nitrogen and lipids are key nutrients of grape must that influence the production of fermentative aromas by wine yeast, and we have previously shown that a strong interaction exists between these two nutrients. However, more than 90% of the acids and higher alcohols (and their acetate ester derivatives) were derived from intermediates produced by the carbon central metabolism (CCM). The objective of this study was to determine how variations in nitrogen and lipid resources can modulate the contribution of nitrogen and carbon metabolisms for the production of fermentative aromas. A quantitative analysis of metabolism using 13C‐labelled leucine and valine showed that nitrogen availability affected the part of the catabolism of N‐containing compounds, the formation of α‐ketoacids from CCM and the redistribution of fluxes around these precursors, explaining the optimum production of higher alcohols occurring at an intermediate nitrogen content. Moreover, nitrogen content modulated the total production of acids and higher alcohols differently, through variations in the redox state of cells. We also demonstrated that the phytosterol content, modifying the intracellular availability of acetyl‐CoA, can influence the flux distribution, especially the formation of higher alcohols and the conversion of α‐ketoisovalerate to α‐ketoisocaproate.

Abstract
Antioxidant properties and flavor characteristic profile of pomegranate wine during winemaking were investigated. The total phenol content and radical scavenging activity exhibited a slightly decrease in the end edge. Punicalagins and gallic acid were revealed to be the most abundant phenolic compounds, followed by ellagic acid and vanillic acid. These constituents were mainly responsible for the effective antioxidant capacity of pomegranate wine. The major changes of flavor qualities occurred in the initial stage, particularly 0-4day of fermentation. Fermentation significantly reduced the relative content of aldehydes, ketones, heterocyclic and aromatic compounds, but promoted the generation of esters and alcohols. This is the first time of using E-nose and E-tongue to monitor odour and taste changes in the brewing process of pomegranate wine. The study may provide a promising instruction for improving functional features and quality control of the pomegranate wine.

Key role of lipid management in nitrogen and aroma metabolism in an evolved wine yeast strain. Microb Cell Fact 2016; 15:32.

Abstract
Background Fermentative aromas play a key role in the organoleptic profile of young wines. Their production depends both on yeast strain and fermentation conditions. A present-day trend in the wine industry consists in developing new strains with aromatic properties using adaptive evolution approaches. An evolved strain, Affinity™ ECA5, overproducing esters, was recently obtained. In this study, dynamics of nitrogen consumption and of the fermentative aroma synthesis of the evolved and its ancestral strains were compared and coupled with a transcriptomic analysis approach to better understand the metabolic reshaping of Affinity™ ECA5. Results Nitrogen assimilation was different between the two strains, particularly amino acids transported by carriers regulated by nitrogen catabolite repression. We also observed differences in the kinetics of fermentative aroma production, especially in the bioconversion of higher alcohols into acetate esters. Finally, transcriptomic data showed that the enhanced bioconversion into acetate esters by the evolved strain was associated with the repression of genes involved in sterol biosynthesis rather than an enhanced expression of ATF1 and ATF2 (genes coding for the enzymes responsible for the synthesis of acetate esters from higher alcohols). Conclusions An integrated approach to yeast metabolism—combining transcriptomic analyses and online monitoring data—showed differences between the two strains at different levels. Differences in nitrogen source consumption were observed suggesting modifications of NCR in the evolved strain. Moreover, the evolved strain showed a different way of managing the lipid source, which notably affected the production of acetate esters, likely because of a greater availability of acetyl-CoA for the evolved strain.

Abstract
Nitrogen levels in grape-juices are of major importance in winemaking ensuring adequate yeast growth and fermentation performance. Here we used a comparative transcriptome analysis to uncover wine yeasts responses to nitrogen availability during fermentation. Gene expression was assessed in three genetically and phenotypically divergent commercial wine strains (CEG, VL1 and QA23), under low (67 mg/L) and high nitrogen (670 mg/L) regimes, at three time points during fermentation (12 h, 24 h and 96 h). Two-way ANOVA analysis of each fermentation condition led to the identification of genes whose expression was dependent on strain, fermentation stage and on the interaction of both factors. The high fermenter yeast strain QA23 was more clearly distinct from the other two strains, by differential expression of genes involved in flocculation, mitochondrial functions, energy generation and protein folding and stabilization. For all strains, higher transcriptional variability due to fermentation stage was seen in the high nitrogen fermentations. A positive correlation between maximum fermentation rate and the expression of genes involved in stress response was observed. The finding of common genes correlated with both fermentation activity and nitrogen up-take underlies the role of nitrogen on yeast fermentative fitness. The comparative analysis of genes differentially expressed between both fermentation conditions at 12 h, where the main difference was the level of nitrogen available, showed the highest variability amongst strains revealing strain-specific responses. Nevertheless, we were able to identify a small set of genes whose expression profiles can quantitatively assess the common response of the yeast strains to varying nitrogen conditions. The use of three contrasting yeast strains in gene expression analysis prompts the identification of more reliable, accurate and reproducible biomarkers that will facilitate the diagnosis of deficiency of this nutrient in the grape-musts and the development of strategies to optimize yeast performance in industrial fermentations.

Abstract
While screening a large collection of wild and laboratory yeast strains for their ability to attract Drosophila melanogaster adults, we noticed a large difference in fly preference for two nearly isogenic strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, BY4741 and BY4742. Using standard genetic analyses, we tracked the preference difference to the lack of mitochondria in the BY4742 strain used in the initial experiment. We used gas chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopy to examine the volatile compounds produced by BY4741 and the mitochondria-deficient BY4742, and found that they differed significantly. We observed that several ethyl esters are present at much higher levels in strains with mitochondria, even in fermentative conditions. We found that nitrogen levels in the substrate affect the production of these compounds, and that they are produced at the highest level by strains with mitochondria when fermenting natural fruit substrates. Collectively these observations demonstrate that core metabolic processes mediate the interaction between yeasts and insect vectors, and highlight the importance mitochondrial functions in yeast ecology.

Combined effects of nutrients and temperature on the production of fermentative aromas by Saccharomyces cerevisiae during wine fermentation. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2014; 99:2291-304.

Abstract
Volatile compounds produced by yeast during fermentation greatly influence the organoleptic qualities of wine. We developed a model to predict the combined effects of initial nitrogen and phytosterol content and fermentation temperature on the production of volatile compounds. We used a Box-Behnken design and response surface modeling to study the response of Lalvin EC1118® to these environmental conditions. Initial nitrogen content had the greatest influence on most compounds; however, there were differences in the value of fermentation parameters required for the maximal production of the various compounds. Fermentation parameters affected differently the production of isobutanol and isoamyl alcohol, although their synthesis involve the same enzymes and intermediate. We found differences in regulation of the synthesis of acetates of higher alcohols and ethyl esters, suggesting that fatty acid availability is the main factor influencing the synthesis of ethyl esters whereas the production of acetates depends on the activity of alcohol acetyltransferases. We also evaluated the effect of temperature on the total production of three esters by determining gas-liquid balances. Evaporation largely accounted for the effect of temperature on the accumulation of esters in liquid. Nonetheless, the metabolism of isoamyl acetate and ethyl octanoate was significantly affected by this parameter. We extended this study to other strains. Environmental parameters had a similar effect on aroma production in most strains. Nevertheless, the regulation of the synthesis of fermentative aromas was atypical in two strains: Lalvin K1M® and Affinity™ ECA5, which produces a high amount of aromatic compounds and was obtained by experimental evolution.

Abstract
Nitrogen supplementation, which is widely used in winemaking to improve fermentation kinetics, also affects the products of fermentation, including volatile compounds. However, the mechanisms underlying the metabolic response of yeast to nitrogen additions remain unclear. We studied the consequences for Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolism of valine and ammonium pulses during the stationary phase of four-stage continuous fermentation (FSCF). This culture technique provides cells at steady state similar to that of the stationary phase of batch wine fermentation. Thus, the FSCF device is an appropriate and reliable tool for individual analysis of the metabolic rerouting associated with nutrient additions, in isolation from the continuous evolution of the environment in batch processes. Nitrogen additions, irrespective of the nitrogen-containing compound added, substantially modified the formation of fermentation metabolites, including glycerol, succinate, isoamyl alcohol, propanol, and ethyl esters. This flux redistribution, fulfilling the requirements for precursors of amino acids, was consistent with increased protein synthesis resulting from increased nitrogen availability. Valine pulses, less efficient than ammonium addition in increasing the fermentation rate, were followed by a massive conversion of this amino acid in isobutanol and isobutyl acetate through the Ehrlich pathway. However, additional routes were involved in valine assimilation when added in stationary phase. Overall, we found that particular metabolic changes may be triggered according to the nature of the amino acid supplied, in addition to the common response. Both these shared and specific modifications should be considered when designing strategies to modulate the production of volatile compounds, a current challenge for winemakers.

Abstract
Enzymes can be post-translationally modified, leading to isoforms with different properties. The phenotypic consequences of the quantitative variability of isoforms have never been studied. We used quantitative proteomics to dissect the relationships between the abundances of the enzymes and isoforms of alcoholic fermentation, metabolic traits, and growth-related traits in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although the enzymatic pool allocated to the fermentation proteome was constant over the culture media and the strains considered, there was variation in abundance of individual enzymes and sometimes much more of their isoforms, which suggests the existence of selective constraints on total protein abundance and trade-offs between isoforms. Variations in abundance of some isoforms were significantly associated to metabolic traits and growth-related traits. In particular, cell size and maximum population size were highly correlated to the degree of N-terminal acetylation of the alcohol dehydrogenase. The fermentation proteome was found to be shaped by human selection, through the differential targeting of a few isoforms for each food-processing origin of strains. These results highlight the importance of post-translational modifications in the diversity of metabolic and life-history traits.

Abstract
The availability of the sequence of the Saccharomyces genome in combination with the development of chemical analytical technologies with dynamic ranges sensitive enough to detect volatile aromatic compounds has generated a renewed interest in defining the role of yeast in the generation of wine aroma and flavor. Genetic differences among wine strains are well documented and aroma profiles also appear to vary, implying that specific allelic alterations may exist and impact the production of compounds associated with flavor. Partial or complete sequencing data on several wine strains are available and reveal underlying genetic differences across strains in key genes implicated in flavor formation. This review discusses the current understanding of the roles of Saccharomyces in wine flavor with an emphasis on positive contributions to flavor and highlights the discoveries of the underlying enzymatic and metabolic mechanisms responsible for the yeast contribution to wine quality.

Abstract
The perception of wine flavor and aroma is the result of a multitude of interactions between a large number of chemical compounds and sensory receptors. Compounds interact and combine and show synergistic (i.e., the presence of one compound enhances the perception of another) and antagonistic (a compound suppresses the perception of another) interactions. The chemical profile of a wine is derived from the grape, the fermentation microflora (in particular the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae), secondary microbial fermentations that may occur, and the aging and storage conditions. Grape composition depends on the varietal and clonal genotype of the vine and on the interaction of the genotype and its phenotype with many environmental factors which, in wine terms, are usually grouped under the concept of "terroir" (macro, meso and microclimate, soil, topography). The microflora, and in particular the yeast responsible for fermentation, contributes to wine aroma by several mechanisms: firstly by utilizing grape juice constituents and biotransforming them into aroma- or flavor-impacting components, secondly by producing enzymes that transform neutral grape compounds into flavor-active compounds, and lastly by the de novo synthesis of many flavor-active primary (e.g., ethanol, glycerol, acetic acid, and acetaldehyde) and secondary metabolites (e.g., esters, higher alcohols, fatty acids). This review aims to present an overview of the formation of wine flavor and aroma-active components, including the varietal precursor molecules present in grapes and the chemical compounds produced during alcoholic fermentation by yeast, including compounds directly related to ethanol production or secondary metabolites. The contribution of malolactic fermentation, ageing, and maturation on the aroma and flavor of wine is also discussed.

Abstract
Genome-wide analysis of the wine yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae PYCC4072 identified 36 genes highly expressed under conditions of low or absent nitrogen in comparison with a nitrogen-replete condition. Reverse transcription-PCR analysis for four of these transcripts with this strain and its validation with another wine yeast strain underlines the usefulness of these signature genes for predicting nitrogen deficiency and therefore the diagnosis of wine stuck/sluggish fermentations.
