Brettanomyces bruxellensis, born to live

Abstract

The wine spoilage yeast Brettanomyces bruxellensis can be found at several steps in the winemaking process due to its resistance to multiple stress conditions. Among the resistance strategies, one could be the formation of biofilm, a lifestyle known to enhance persistence of microorganisms. In this study, we propose to characterize biofilm of B. bruxellensis in wine, especially through several microscopic analyses.

The capacity of the yeast to colonize supports was demonstrated, notably in wine. When biofilms developed on stainless steel chips were inoculated in wine, a considerable cell release from chip into wine was induced, followed by a growth of planktonic cells able to produce wine spoilage metabolites, such as 4-ethylphenol.

Besides the ability to form biofilm, B. bruxellensis is also able to display different cell morphologies, as demonstrated by microscopic observations. First, filaments were observed, playing a role in the structure of biofilm. For the first time, chlamydospore-like was described in this species, probably a potential additional resistance strategy. In addition, a polymorphism of vegetative cells was revealed. Using image analysis, we have shown that strains having different genotyping presented different morphology. Based on this link, a deep learning method was adapted to predict the genetic group of a strain from a simple microscopic observation.

Taken together, all of these features and strategies lead B. bruxellensis to persist in environment and to contaminate wine. Moreover, morphology of vegetative cells could be newly considered as indicator of a strain resistance capacity since the sensitivity to SO2 depend on the strain genetic group.

Caratterizzazione vitivinicola delle “Terre del Piacenziano” ricomprese nella zona D.O.C. “colli piacentini” attraverso l’analisi sensoriale dei vini prodotti

I territori della Riserva Geologica del Piacenziano sono parte del pedeappennino piacentino e sono noti per essere la culla del Pliocene, quel periodo di storia della Terra compreso tra 5.3 e 1.8 milioni di anni fa. Gli strati argillosi e sabbiosi riccamente fossiliferi qui presenti sono da sempre oggetto di studi geo-paleontologici tant’è che il Pliocene medio (3.6-2.6 milioni di anni fa) è internazionalmente noto come Piacenziano. Le analisi sensoriali strutturate dei vini qui prodotti hanno evidenziato, soprattutto per il vino Monterosso, le positive peculiarità dei loro caratteri sensoriali e descritto gli scostamenti significativi del loro profilo sensoriale rispetto agli altri vini presi a riferimento.

An overview of the impact of clone, environmental factors and viticultural techniques on rotundone concentration in red wines

Rotundone is the main aroma compound responsible for peppery notes in red wine. This positive and very potent molecule has an odor threshold of 8 ng/L in water and 16 ng/L in red wine. It has been detected in several grape varieties with some of the highest concentrations recorded in Syrah, Duras, Tardif and Noiret, an interspecific hybrid grown in the North-East of the USA. If several winemaking practices have been identified to lower rotundone in wine, up to date, no enological solution has proved its efficiency to maximize it. This means that efforts to produce high rotundone wines must be undertaken in vineyards. This work provides practical ways that can be used by winegrowers to modulate rotundone levels in their wines.
