Yeast mannoprotein characterization and their effect on Oenococcus oeni and malolactic fermentation

Abstract

Mannoproteins are released at the end of alcoholic fermentation due to yeast autolysis [1]. It has been described a positive effect of these molecules on lactic acid bacteria growth [2]. The main objective of this work was the characterization of different mannoproteins extracted from active dry yeast (ADY) and the assessment of their effect on Oenococcus oeni and malolactic fermentation (MLF).

The cell wall fraction of strains from different yeast species were extracted by autolysis and alkali methods: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Lachancea thermotolerans and Metschnikowia pulcherrima. The profiles of the polysaccharide fraction were analyzed by HPLC-DAD and HRSEC-RID. The protein and glycoprotein profiles were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. The effect on MLF of the addition of 2 g/L of each mannoprotein extract was evaluated in a wine like-medium using the O. oeni strain PSU-1 (ATCC BAA-331). The consumption of L-malic was monitored by an enzymatic method. The analysis of mannoprotein consumption, in terms of equivalents of mannose, was carried out by HPLC-MWC-RID.

The polysaccharide composition and the size of mannoproteins extracted by the two methods were significantly different for all the mannoproteins. Protein and glycoprotein profiles were also different in all the studied yeast walls. The addition of mannoprotein extract influenced the evolution of MLF differently according to the extraction method. Mannoproteins obtained by the yeast autolysis showed a positive effect on MLF in all cases; this effect was also observed in two S. cerevisiae and L. thermotolerans extracted by the alkali method. However, MLF was arrested after consuming 0.5 g/L of L-malic acid in the rest of fermentations with mannoproteins obtained by the alkali method. The results obtained indicate that the capacity of O. oeni to use mannoproteins depends on the mannoprotein composition, which in turns depends on the yeast species and the extraction method.

Predicting provenance and grapevine cultivar implementing machine learning on vineyard soil microbiome data: implications in grapevine breeding

The plant rhizosphere microbial communities are an essential component of plant microbiota, which is crucial for sustaining the production of healthy crops. The main drivers of the composition of such communities are the growing environment and the planted genotype. Recent viticulture studies focus on understanding the effects of these factors on soil microbial composition since microbial biodiversity is an important determinant of plant phenotype, and of wine’s organoleptic properties. Microbial biodiversity of different wine regions, for instance, is an important determinant of wine terroir.

Effect of spray with autochthonous Trichoderma strains and its secondary metabolites on the quality of Tempranillo grape

Trichoderma is one of the most widely used fungal biocontrol agents on vineyards due to its multiple benefits on this crop, such as its fungicidal and growth promoting capacity. In this work, we have analyzed the effect on the concentration of nutrients in grapevine leaves and on the quality of the grape must after spraying an autochthonous strain of Trichoderma harzianum and one of the main secondary metabolites produced by this genus, 6-pentyl-α-pyrone (6PP).

Crown procyanidin quantification in red wines, rosé wines and Port wines

Condensed grape tannins play a major role in the organoleptic properties and quality of red wine. Recently, a new sub-family of macrocyclic condensed tannins has been identified in red wine and named “crown tannins”. Indeed, the first compound of the family identified and characterised by NMR was the crown procyanidin tetramer which is composed of a macrocyclic structure composed of four (-)-epicatechins link together by B-type interflavanoid linkage in the following an alternative sequences of C4-C8 and C4-C6 linkage. The 3D structure of this unusual crown procyanidin family reveals a central cavity in the molecule [1].

Phenolic composition and chromatic characteristics of blends of cv. Tempranillo wines from vines grown with different viticultural techniques in a semi-arid area

The quality and color stability of red wines are directly related to content and distribution of phenolic compounds. However, the climate change produces the asynchrony between the dates of technological and maturity of grapes. The crop-forcing technique (CF) restores the coupling between phenolic and technological ripeness while limits vineyard yields. Blending of wines is frequently used to equilibriate composition of wines and to increase their stability, color and quality. The aim of the present work is to study the phenolic composition and color of wine blends made with FW (wines from vines subjected to CF) and CW (wines for vines under the usual cultivation practices).

“Compost Application in the Vineyard: Effects on Soil Nutrition and Compaction”

The mechanization of pruning and harvesting in vineyards has increased the risk of soil compaction. To reclaim soil properties or avoid this degradation process, it is crucial to properly manage the soil organic matter, and the application of compost derived from the vines themselves is a strategy to achieve this. The objective of this study was to evaluate the properties of soil treated with different doses of compost applied both on the vine row and the inter rows of a Vitis vinifera crop.
