Abstract
Nonlinear ecological interactions within microbial ecosystems and their contribution to ecosystem functioning remain largely unexplored. Higher-order interactions, or interactions in systems comprised of more than two members that cannot be explained by cumulative pairwise interactions, are particularly understudied, especially in eukaryotic microorganisms. The wine fermentation ecosystem presents an ideal model to study yeast ecosystem establishment and functioning. Some pairwise ecological interactions between wine yeast species have been characterized, but very little is known about how more complex, multispecies systems function. Here, we evaluated nonlinear ecosystem properties by determining the transcriptomic response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to pairwise versus tri-species culture. The transcriptome revealed that genes expressed during pairwise coculture were enriched in the tri-species data set but also that just under half of the data set comprised unique genes attributed to a higher-order response. Through interactive protein-association network visualizations, a holistic cell-wide view of the gene expression data was generated, which highlighted known stress response and metabolic adaptation mechanisms which were specifically activated during tri-species growth. Further, extracellular metabolite data corroborated that the observed differences were a result of a biotic stress response. This provides exciting new evidence showing the presence of higher-order interactions within a model microbial ecosystem. IMPORTANCE Higher-order interactions are one of the major blind spots in our understanding of microbial ecosystems. These systems remain largely unpredictable and are characterized by nonlinear dynamics, in particular when the system is comprised of more than two entities. By evaluating the transcriptomic response of S. cerevisiae to an increase in culture complexity from a single species to two- and three-species systems, we were able to confirm the presence of a unique response in the more complex setting that could not be explained by the responses observed at the pairwise level. This is the first data set that provides molecular targets for further analysis to explain unpredictable ecosystem dynamics in yeast.

Diversity of Volatile Aroma Compound Composition Produced by Non-Saccharomyces Yeasts in the Early Phase of Grape Must Fermentation. Foods 2022; 11:foods11193088. [PMID: 36230163 PMCID: PMC9563004 DOI: 10.3390/foods11193088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2022] [Revised: 09/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
There is a lack of studies evaluating the metabolic contribution of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in early fermentation phases. This study aimed to investigate the volatile aroma profiles produced by various non-Saccharomyces yeasts just before sequential inoculation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae to provide an insight into the particular effects they induce at this stage. The grape must of Malvazija istarska was inoculated with monocultures of Torulaspora delbrueckii, Metschnikowia pulcherrima, Pichia kluyveri, Lachancea thermotolerans, and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, alongside a S. cerevisiae control. Eighty volatile compounds were quantified via headspace solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, and the data were statistically elaborated. Volatile profiles of non-Saccharomyces yeasts differed significantly from the S. cerevisiae control. Most treatments caused increases in linalool and β-damascenone, decreases in higher alcohols and fatty acids, and improved synthesis of odoriferous esters. Torulaspora delbrueckii and M. pulcherrima produced compounds not commonly found in S. cerevisiae fermented wines. Multivariate statistical analysis linked the investigated yeasts to specific, particularly abundant compounds. Future studies should explore to what degree these contributions persist after sequential inoculation with S. cerevisiae in diverse grape must matrices.

Abstract
Worldwide the interest for biological control of food spoilage microorganisms has significantly increased over the last decade. Wine makes no exception to this trend, as consumer demands for wines free of preservatives that are considered negative for human health, increase. Biological control during wine fermentation aims at producing high quality wines, while minimizing, or even eliminating, the use of chemical additives. Its success lies in the inoculation of microorganisms to prevent, inhibit or kill undesired microbes, therefore maintaining wine spoilage at the lowest level. The food industry already makes use of this practice, with dedicated commercial microbes already on the market. In winemaking, there are commercial microbes currently under investigation, particularly with the aim to reduce or replace the use of sulphur dioxide. In this review, the potential of wine yeasts and lactic acid bacteria as bioprotection agents and their mechanisms of action during wine fermentation are presented.

Promoting Candida zemplinina adhesion on oak chips: A strategy to enhance esters and glycerol content of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo organic wines. Food Res Int 2021; 150:110772.

Abstract
In this study cell surface hydrophobicity and the ability to adhere on abiotic surfaces (polystyrene plates, stainless steel and oak chips) of 10 Candida zemplinina strains were assessed. Moreover, the impact of C. zemplinina cells adhered on oak surface on fermentation kinetics and volatile profile of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo organic wines was evaluated. All strains showed a hydrophobic nature with a certain affinity for the apolar solvents tested (hexadecane and decane). In agreement with this data strains were able to adhere on abiotic surfaces in a strain dependent way. On polystyrene plates all strains mainly grew as planktonic cells. On stainless steel surfaces sessile cells ranged from 2.6 Log CFU/mL (SB2) to 4.1 Log CFU/mL (SB8), while on oak chips were about 2 log higher ranging from 4.3 Log CFU/mL (SB8) to 6.1 Log CFU/mL (SB10). Candida zemplinina sessile state resulted in an increase of glycerol (from 6.98 g/L to 11.92 g/L) and esters amount (from 55.47 g/L to 91.5 mg/L), and a reduction of ethanol content (from 14.13% to 9.12% v/v). As for esters, methyl vanillate, ethyl isobutyrate, and ethyl isovalerate were present only when C. zemplinina was adhered on oak chips. This study revealed that changes of concentrations in esters and glycerol content reflected the fermentation bioactivity of yeast cells attached on oak chips. Surface-adhered behaviours should be considered in the improvement of strategies for the development of high-quality organic wines and eventually obtain novel wine styles.

Abstract
During fermentation, Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolizes sugars and other nutrients to obtain energy for growth and survival, while also modulating these activities in response to cell-environment interactions. Here, differences in S. cerevisiae gene expression were explored over a time course of fermentation and used to differentiate fermentations, using Pinot noir grapes from 15 unique sites. Data analysis was complicated by the fact that the fermentations proceeded at different rates, making a direct comparison of time series gene expression data difficult with conventional differential expression tools. This led to the development of a novel approach combining diffusion mapping with continuous differential expression analysis (termed DMap-DE). Using this method, site-specific deviations in gene expression were identified, including changes in gene expression correlated with the non-Saccharomyces yeast Hanseniaspora uvarum, as well as initial nitrogen concentrations in grape musts. These results highlight novel relationships between site-specific variables and Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene expression that are linked to repeated fermentation outcomes. It was also demonstrated that DMap-DE can extract biologically relevant gene expression patterns from other contexts (e.g., hypoxic response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and offers advantages over other data dimensionality reduction approaches, indicating that DMap-DE offers a robust method for investigating asynchronous time series gene expression data.

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

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

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

Abstract
Wine 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.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Gene Expression during Fermentation of Pinot Noir Wines at an Industrially Relevant Scale. Appl Environ Microbiol 2021; 87:AEM.00036-21.

Abstract
This study characterized Saccharomyces cerevisiae RC212 gene expression during Pinot noir fermentation at pilot scale (150 liters) using industry-relevant conditions. The reported gene expression patterns of RC212 are generally similar to those observed under laboratory fermentation conditions but also contain gene expression signatures related to yeast-environment interactions found in a production setting (e.g., the presence of non-Saccharomyces microorganisms). Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolism produces ethanol and other compounds during the fermentation of grape must into wine. Thousands of genes change expression over the course of a wine fermentation, allowing S. cerevisiae to adapt to and dominate the fermentation environment. Investigations into these gene expression patterns previously revealed genes that underlie cellular adaptation to the grape must and wine environments, involving metabolic specialization and ethanol tolerance. However, the majority of studies detailing gene expression patterns have occurred in controlled environments that may not recapitulate the biological and chemical complexity of fermentations performed at production scale. Here, an analysis of the S. cerevisiae RC212 gene expression program is presented, drawing from 40 pilot-scale fermentations (150 liters) using Pinot noir grapes from 10 California vineyards across two vintages. A core gene expression program was observed across all fermentations irrespective of vintage, similar to that of laboratory fermentations, in addition to novel gene expression patterns likely related to the presence of non-Saccharomyces microorganisms and oxygen availability during fermentation. These gene expression patterns, both common and diverse, provide insight into Saccharomyces cerevisiae biology critical to fermentation outcomes under industry-relevant conditions. IMPORTANCE This study characterized Saccharomyces cerevisiae RC212 gene expression during Pinot noir fermentation at pilot scale (150 liters) using industry-relevant conditions. The reported gene expression patterns of RC212 are generally similar to those observed under laboratory fermentation conditions but also contain gene expression signatures related to yeast-environment interactions found in a production setting (e.g., the presence of non-Saccharomyces microorganisms). Key genes and pathways highlighted by this work remain undercharacterized, indicating the need for further research to understand the roles of these genes and their impact on industrial wine fermentation outcomes.

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
Ribosomal DNA amplicon sequencing of grape musts has demonstrated that microorganisms occur nonrandomly and are associated with the vineyard of origin, suggesting a role for the vineyard, grape, and wine microbiome in shaping wine fermentation outcomes. Here, ribosomal DNA amplicon sequencing from grape musts and RNA sequencing of eukaryotic transcripts from primary fermentations inoculated with the wine yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae RC212 were used to profile fermentations from 15 vineyards in California and Oregon across two vintages. These data demonstrate that the relative abundance of fungal organisms detected by ribosomal DNA amplicon sequencing correlated with neither transcript abundance from those same organisms within the RNA sequencing data nor gene expression of the inoculated RC212 yeast strain. These data suggest that the majority of the fungi detected in must by ribosomal DNA amplicon sequencing were not active during the primary stage of these inoculated fermentations and were not a major factor in determining RC212 gene expression. However, unique genetic signatures were detected within the ribosomal DNA amplicon and eukaryotic transcriptomic sequencing that were predictive of vineyard site and region. These signatures included S. cerevisiae gene expression patterns linked to nitrogen, sulfur, and thiamine metabolism. These genetic signatures of site offer insight into specific environmental factors to consider with respect to fermentation outcomes and vineyard site and regional wine characteristics.IMPORTANCE The wine industry generates billions of dollars of revenue annually, and economic productivity is in part associated with regional distinctiveness of wine sensory attributes. Microorganisms associated with grapes and wineries are influenced by region of origin, and given that some microorganisms play a role in fermentation, it is thought that microbes may contribute to the regional distinctiveness of wine. In this work, as in previous studies, it is demonstrated that specific bacteria and fungi are associated with individual wine regions and vineyard sites. However, this work further shows that their presence is not associated with detectable fungal gene expression during the primary fermentation or the expression of specific genes by the inoculate Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain RC212. The detected RC212 gene expression signatures associated with region and vineyard site also allowed the identification of flavor-associated metabolic processes and environmental factors that could impact primary fermentation outcomes. These data offer novel insights into the complexities and subtleties of vineyard-specific inoculated wine fermentation and starting points for future investigations into factors that contribute to regional wine distinctiveness.

Abstract
Aroma profile is one of the main features for the acceptance of wine. Yeasts and bacteria are the responsible organisms to carry out both, alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation is in turn, responsible for transforming grape juice into wine and providing secondary aromas. Secondary aroma can be influenced by different factors; however, the influence of the microorganisms is one of the main agents affecting final wine aroma profile. Saccharomyces cerevisiae has historically been the most used yeast for winemaking process for its specific characteristics: high fermentative metabolism and kinetics, low acetic acid production, resistance to high levels of sugar, ethanol, sulfur dioxide and also, the production of pleasant aromatic compounds. Nevertheless, in the last years, the use of non-saccharomyces yeasts has been progressively growing according to their capacity to enhance aroma complexity and interact with S. cerevisiae, especially in mixed cultures. Hence, this review article is aimed at associating the main secondary aroma compounds present in wine with the microorganisms involved in the spontaneous and guided fermentations, as well as an approach to the strain variability of species, the genetic modifications that can occur and their relevance to wine aroma construction.

Phenotypic and transcriptional analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae during wine fermentation in response to nitrogen nutrition and co-inoculation with Torulaspora delbrueckii.

Abstract
Nitrogen content of grape musts strongly impacts on fermentation performance and wine metabolite production. As nitrogen is a limiting nutrient in most grape musts, nitrogen supplementation is a common practice that ensures yeast growth during fermentation. However, preferred nitrogen sources -as ammonium- repress the genes related to alternative nitrogen sources consumption, usually involved in aromatic compounds production. Here, we describe the effect of high ammonium doses in Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation performance and wine properties, and how it is affected by yeast co-inoculation in mixed (S. cerevisiae + Torulaspora delbrueckii) fermentations. In addition, an RNA-seq analysis allowed us to study the S. cerevisiae transcriptional response to ammonium nutrition and yeast interaction, demonstrating that T. delbrueckii presence affects the global S. cerevisiae transcriptional response, reducing ammonium effects at both phenotypic -fermentation kinetics and metabolite production- and transcriptional levels, under experimental conditions.

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

Abstract
In the macroscopic world, ecological interactions between multiple species of fauna and flora are recognised as major role-players in the evolution of any particular species. By comparison, research on ecological interactions as a driver of evolutionary adaptation in microbial ecosystems has been neglected. The evolutionary history of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been extensively researched, providing an unmatched foundation for exploring adaptive evolution of microorganisms. However, in most studies, the habitat is only defined by physical and chemical parameters, and little attention is paid to the impact of cohabiting species. Such ecological interactions arguably provide a more relevant evolutionary framework. Within the genomic phylogenetic tree of S. cerevisiae strains, wine associated isolates form a distinct clade, also matched by phenotypic evidence. This domestication signature in genomes and phenomes suggests that the wine fermentation environment is of significant evolutionary relevance. Data also show that the microbiological composition of wine fermentation ecosystems is dominated by the same species globally, suggesting that these species have co-evolved within this ecosystem. This system therefore presents an excellent model for investigating the origins and mechanisms of interspecific yeast interactions. This review explores the role of biotic stress in the adaptive evolution of wine yeast.

Abstract
During the winemaking process, alcoholic fermentation is carried out by a consortium of yeasts in which interactions occurs. The consequences of these interactions on the wine matrix have been widely described for several years with the aim of controlling the winemaking process as well as possible. In this review, we highlight the wide diversity of methodologies used to study these interactions, and their underlying mechanisms and consequences on the final wine composition and characteristics. The wide variety of matrix parameters, yeast couples, and culture conditions have led to contradictions between the results of the different studies considered. More recent aspects of modifications in the composition of the matrix are addressed through different approaches that have not been synthesized recently. Non-volatile and volatile metabolomics, as well as sensory analysis approaches are developed in this paper. The description of the matrix composition modification does not appear sufficient to explain interaction mechanisms, making it vital to take an integrated approach to draw definite conclusions on them.

Abstract
As a complex microbial ecosystem, wine is a particularly interesting model for studying interactions between microorganisms as fermentation can be done by microbial consortia, a unique strain or mixed culture. The effect of a specific yeast strain on its environments is unique and characterized by its metabolites and their concentration. With its great resolution and excellent mass accuracy, ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry (uHRMS) is the perfect tool to analyze the yeast metabolome at the end of alcoholic fermentation. This work reports the change in wine chemical composition from pure and mixed culture fermentation with Lachancea thermotolerans, Starmerella bacillaris, Metschnikowia pulcherrima and S. cerevisiae. We could clearly differentiate wines according to the yeast strain used in single cultures and markers, which reflect important differences between the yeast species, were extracted and annotated. Moreover, uHRMS revealed underlining intra species metabolomics differences, showing differences at the strain level between the two Starmerella bacillaris. Non volatile metabolomics analysis of single and sequential fermentations confirmed that mixed fermentations lead to a different composition. Distinct metabolites appeared in wines from sequential fermentation compared to single fermentation. This suggests that interactions between yeasts are not neutral.

Abstract
Background During alcoholic fermentation, Saccharomyces cerevisiae synthesizes more than 400 different compounds with higher alcohols, acetate esters of higher alcohols and ethyl esters of medium-chain fatty acids being the most important products of its metabolism, determining the particular flavour profile of each wine. The concentration of the metabolites produced depends to a large extent on the strain used. The use of indigenous strains as starting cultures can lead to the production of wines with excellent organoleptic characteristics and distinct local character, superior in quality when compared to their commercial counterparts. However, the relationship of these wild-type genotypes, linked to specific terroirs, with the biosynthetic profiles of flavour metabolites is not completely clarified and understood. To this end, qRT-PCR was employed to examine, for the first time on the transcriptional level, the performance of an indigenous Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain (Z622) in its natural environment (Debina grape must). The expression of genes implicated in higher alcohols and esters formation was correlated with the concentrations of these compounds in the produced wine. Furthermore, by applying the same fermentation conditions, we examined the same parameters in a commercial strain (VL1) and compared its performance with the one of strain Z622. Results Strain Z622, exhibited lower concentrations of 2-methylbutanol, 3-methylbutanol and 2-phenyl ethanol, than VL1 correlating with the elevated expression levels of transaminase and decarboxylase genes. Furthermore, the significantly high induction of ADH3 throughout fermentation of Z622 probably explains the larger population numbers reached by Z622 and reflects the better adaptation of the strain to its natural environment. Regarding acetate ester biosynthesis, Z622 produced higher concentrations of total acetate esters, compared with VL1, a fact that is in full agreement with the elevated expression levels of both ATF1 and ATF2 in strain Z622. Conclusions This study provides evidence on the transcriptional level that indigenous yeast Z622 is better adapted to its natural environment able to produce wines with desirable characteristics, i.e. lower concentrations of higher alcohol and higher ester, verifying its potential as a valuable starter for the local wine-industry.

Abstract
Sequential fermentation of grape must inoculated with L. thermotolerans and then S. cerevisiae 24 h later (typical wine-making practice) was conducted with or without cell-cell contact between the two yeast species. We monitored cell viability of the two species throughout fermentation by flow cytometry. The cell viability of S. cerevisiae decreased under both conditions, but the decrease was greater if there was cell-cell contact. An investigation of the nature of the interactions showed competition between the two species for nitrogen compounds, oxygen, and must sterols. Volatile-compound analysis showed differences between sequential and pure fermentation and that cell-cell contact modifies yeast metabolism, as the volatile-compound profile was significantly different from that of sequential fermentation without cell-cell contact. We further confirmed that cell-cell contact modifies yeast metabolism by analyzing the exo-metabolome of all fermentations by FT-ICR-MS analysis. These analyses show specific metabolite production and quantitative metabolite changes associated with each fermentation condition. This study shows that cell-cell contact not only affects cell viability, as already reported, but markedly affects yeast metabolism.

Abstract
Hanseanispora species, including H. guilliermondii, are long known to be abundant in wine grape-musts and to play a critical role in vinification by modulating, among other aspects, the wine sensory profile. Despite this, the genetics and physiology of Hanseniaspora species remains poorly understood. The first genomic sequence of a H. guilliermondii strain (UTAD222) and the discussion of its potential significance are presented in this work. Metabolic reconstruction revealed that H. guilliermondii is not equipped with a functional gluconeogenesis or glyoxylate cycle, nor does it harbours key enzymes for glycerol or galactose catabolism or for biosynthesis of biotin and thiamine. Also, no fructose-specific transporter could also be predicted from the analysis of H. guilliermondii genome leaving open the mechanisms underlying the fructophilic character of this yeast. Comparative analysis involving H. guilliermondii, H. uvarum, H. opuntiae and S. cerevisiae revealed 14 H. guilliermondii-specific genes (including five viral proteins and one β-glucosidase). Furthermore, 870 proteins were only found within the Hanseniaspora proteomes including several β-glucosidases and decarboxylases required for catabolism of biogenic amines. The release of H. guilliermondii genomic sequence and the comparative genomics/proteomics analyses performed, is expected to accelerate research focused on Hanseniaspora species and to broaden their application in the wine industry and in other bio-industries in which they could be explored as cell factories.

Abstract
Background In wine fermentation starter cultures, the blending of non-Saccharomyces yeast with Saccharomyces cerevisiae to improve the complexity of wine has become common practice, but data regarding the impact of co-cultivation on yeast physiology and on genetic and metabolic regulation remain limited. Here we describe a transcriptomic analysis of mixed fermentations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lachancea thermotolerans. The fermentations were carried out in carefully controlled environmental conditions in a bioreactor to reduce transcriptomic responses that would be due to factors other than the presence of the second species. Results The transcriptomic data revealed that both yeast species showed a clear response to the presence of the other. Affected genes primarily belonged to two groups: genes whose expression can be linked to the competition for certain trace elements such as copper and iron, as well as genes required for cell wall structure and integrity. Furthermore, the data revealed divergent transcriptional responses with regard to carbon metabolism in response to anoxic conditions. Conclusions The results suggest that the mixed fermentation created a more competitive and stressful environment for the two species than single strain fermentations independently from total biomass, i.e. competition between cells of the same species is less stressful, or may present a different set of challenges, than interspecies competition. The changes in cell wall and adhesion properties encoding genes suggest that the adjustment of physical contact between cells may play a direct role in the response to the presence of competing species.

Comparing the Effects of Different Unsaturated Fatty Acids on Fermentation Performance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aroma Compounds during Red Wine Fermentation. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24030538. [PMID: 30717212 PMCID: PMC6384975 DOI: 10.3390/molecules24030538] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2019] [Revised: 01/30/2019] [Accepted: 01/31/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
To understand the individual enological function of different unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs), the separated effects of three different UFAs, linoleic acid (LA), oleic acid (OA), and α-linolenic acid (ALA), on yeast fermentation and aroma compounds were investigated in the alcoholic fermentation of Cabernet Sauvignon wine. The results showed that, besides concentration, UFAs types could also influence fermentation process and volatiles in final wine. Low concentrations of UFAs (12 and 60 mg/L), especially LA and OA, significantly promoted fermentation activity and most volatiles when compared to the control, however, the effect became the inhibition with increasing concentrations of UFAs (120 and 240 mg/L). It was interesting to find that OA addition (12 and 60 mg/L) could generate more acetate esters (especially isoamyl acetate) in wine, while 12 mg/L LA facilitated more fatty acids formation (octanoic acid and decanoic acid). In comparison, 120 and 240 mg/L ALA produced more amount of C6 alcohols (1-hexanol) and higher alcohols (isobutyl alcohol and 2,3-butanediol). UFAs additions were unfavorable for ethyl esters formation, except for an increment of ethyl hexanoate in 12 mg/L OA wine. As a result, different aromatic profiles of wines were generated by variations of UFAs types and levels, as shown by PCA. The transcriptional data revealed that the expressions of aroma-related genes, such as BAT1, BAT2, PDC1, PDC5, PDC6, ACC1, FAS1, ATF1, EEB1, and EHT1 were correlated with aroma compounds productions in different treatments. Our data suggested that the three UFAs have different enological functions and they could generate different aromatic profiles. Thus, besides concentrations, it is essential to consider the types of UFAs when applying the strategy to adjust UFAs contents to modulate the aromatic quality of wines.

Abstract
A double compartment membrane system was constructed in order to systematically study possible microbial interactions between yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Dekkera bruxellensis and their impact on wine aroma. The presence of D. bruxellensis induced 77 transcripts of S. cerevisiae. These were mostly of unknown function; however, some were involved in thiamine biosynthesis and in amino acid and polyamine transport, suggesting a competitive relationship between the two yeast species. Among the transcripts with no biological function, 14 of them were found to be the members of the PAU gene family that is associated with response to anaerobiosis stress. In separated cultures, S. cerevisiae produced glycerol which was subsequently consumed by D. bruxellensis. The concentration of ethylphenols was reduced and we assume that they were absorbed onto the surfaces of S. cerevisiae yeast walls. Also in separated cultures, D. bruxellensis formed a typical profile of aromatic esters with decreased levels of acetate esters and increased level of ethyl esters.

Altered Fermentation Performances, Growth, and Metabolic Footprints Reveal Competition for Nutrients between Yeast Species Inoculated in Synthetic Grape Juice-Like Medium.

Abstract
The sequential inoculation of non-Saccharomyces yeasts and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in grape juice is becoming an increasingly popular practice to diversify wine styles and/or to obtain more complex wines with a peculiar microbial footprint. One of the main interactions is competition for nutrients, especially nitrogen sources, that directly impacts not only fermentation performance but also the production of aroma compounds. In order to better understand the interactions taking place between non-Saccharomyces yeasts and S. cerevisiae during alcoholic fermentation, sequential inoculations of three yeast species (Pichia burtonii, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Zygoascus meyerae) with S. cerevisiae were performed individually in a synthetic medium. Different species-dependent interactions were evidenced. Indeed, the three sequential inoculations resulted in three different behaviors in terms of growth. P. burtonii and Z. meyerae declined after the inoculation of S. cerevisiae which promptly outcompeted the other two species. However, while the presence of P. burtonii did not impact the fermentation kinetics of S. cerevisiae, that of Z. meyerae rendered the overall kinetics very slow and with no clear exponential phase. K. marxianus and S. cerevisiae both declined and became undetectable before fermentation completion. The results also demonstrated that yeasts differed in their preference for nitrogen sources. Unlike Z. meyerae and P. burtonii, K. marxianus appeared to be a competitor for S. cerevisiae (as evidenced by the uptake of ammonium and amino acids), thereby explaining the resulting stuck fermentation. Nevertheless, the results suggested that competition for other nutrients (probably vitamins) occurred during the sequential inoculation of Z. meyerae with S. cerevisiae. The metabolic footprint of the non-Saccharomyces yeasts determined after 48 h of fermentation remained until the end of fermentation and combined with that of S. cerevisiae. For instance, fermentations performed with K. marxianus were characterized by the formation of phenylethanol and phenylethyl acetate, while those performed with P. burtonii or Z. meyerae displayed higher production of isoamyl alcohol and ethyl esters. When considering sequential inoculation of yeasts, the nutritional requirements of the yeasts used should be carefully considered and adjusted accordingly. Finally, our chemical data suggests that the organoleptic properties of the wine are altered in a species specific manner.

Abstract
The growing interest of the winemaking industry on the use of non-Saccharomyces starters has prompted several studies about the physiological features of this diverse group of microorganisms. The fact that the proposed use of these new starters will almost invariably involve either simultaneous or sequential inoculation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae has also driven the attention to the potential biological interactions between different starters during wine fermentation. Our current understanding is that alternative yeast starters will affect wine features by both direct and indirect mechanisms (through metabolic or other types of interactions with S. cerevisiae). There are still few studies addressing the question of yeast-yeast interactions in winemaking by a transcriptomic approach. In a previous report, we revealed early responses of S. cerevisiae and Torulaspora delbrueckii to the presence of each other under anaerobic conditions, mainly the overexpression of genes related with sugar consumption and cell proliferation. We have now studied the response, under aerobic conditions, of S. cerevisiae to other two non-Saccharomyces species, Hanseniaspora uvarum and Candida sake, keeping T. delbrueckii as a reference; and always focusing on the early stages of the interaction. Results point to some common features of the way S. cerevisiae modifies its transcriptome in front of other yeast species, namely activation of glucose and nitrogen metabolism, being the later specific for aerobic conditions.

Abstract
Wine is a complex matrix that includes components with different chemical natures, the volatile compounds being responsible for wine aroma quality. The microbial ecosystem of grapes and wine, including Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeasts, as well as lactic acid bacteria, is considered by winemakers and oenologists as a decisive factor influencing wine aroma and consumer's preferences. The challenges and opportunities emanating from the contribution of wine microbiome to the production of high quality wines are astounding. This review focuses on the current knowledge about the impact of microorganisms in wine aroma and flavour, and the biochemical reactions and pathways in which they participate, therefore contributing to both the quality and acceptability of wine. In this context, an overview of genetic and transcriptional studies to explain and interpret these effects is included, and new directions are proposed. It also considers the contribution of human oral microbiota to wine aroma conversion and perception during wine consumption. The potential use of wine yeasts and lactic acid bacteria as biological tools to enhance wine quality and the advent of promising advice allowed by pioneering -omics technologies on wine research are also discussed.

Abstract
Advances in microbial wine biotechnology have led to the recent commercialization of several non-Saccharomyces starter cultures. These are intended to be used in either simultaneous or sequential inoculation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The different types of microbial interactions that can be stablished during wine fermentation acquire an increased relevance in the context of these mixed-starter fermentations. We analysed the transcriptional response to co-cultivation of S. cerevisiae and Torulaspora delbrueckii. The study focused in the initial stages of wine fermentation, before S. cerevisiae completely dominates the mixed cultures. Both species showed a clear response to the presence of each other, even though the portion of the genome showing altered transcription levels was relatively small. Changes in the transcription pattern suggested a stimulation of metabolic activity and growth, as a consequence of the presence of competitors in the same medium. The response of S. cerevisiae seems to take place earlier, as compared to T. delbrueckii. Enhanced glycolytic activity of the mixed culture was confirmed by the CO2 production profile during these early stages of fermentation. Interestingly, HSP12 expression appeared induced by co-cultivation for both of S. cerevisiae and Torulaspora delbrueckii in the two time points studied. This might be related with a recently described role of Hsp12 in intercellular communication in yeast. Expression of S. cerevisiae PAU genes was also stimulated in mixed cultures.

Abstract
Rising sugar content in grape must, and the concomitant increase in alcohol levels in wine, are some of the main challenges affecting the winemaking industry nowadays. Among the several alternative solutions currently under study, the use of non-conventional yeasts during fermentation holds good promise for contributing to relieve this problem. Non-Saccharomyces wine yeast species comprise a high number or species, so encompassing a wider physiological diversity than Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Indeed, the current oenological interest of these microorganisms was initially triggered by their potential positive contribution to the sensorial complexity of quality wines, through the production of aroma and other sensory-active compounds. This diversity also involves ethanol yield on sugar, one of the most invariant metabolic traits of S. cerevisiae. This review gathers recent research on non-Saccharomyces yeasts, aiming to produce wines with lower alcohol content than those from pure Saccharomyces starters. Critical aspects discussed include the selection of suitable yeast strains (considering there is a noticeable intra-species diversity for ethanol yield, as shown for other fermentation traits), identification of key environmental parameters influencing ethanol yields (including the use of controlled oxygenation conditions), and managing mixed fermentations, by either the sequential or simultaneous inoculation of S. cerevisiae and non-Saccharomyces starter cultures. The feasibility, at the industrial level, of using non-Saccharomyces yeasts for reducing alcohol levels in wine will require an improved understanding of the metabolism of these alternative yeast species, as well as of the interactions between different yeast starters during the fermentation of grape must.
