Selection and modification of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria for wine fermentation

Historically, the fermentation of grape juice to wine has been carried out by indigenous yeasts found on the berry. However, in newer wine regions, e.g. the USA, inoculation with selected wine yeast strains is employed. Grape juice is high in nutritional factors and difficulties in fermentation usually arise from the inhibitory effects of the high concentration of sugar initially present and the ethanol produced. A secondary fermentation, brought about by indigenous or added lactic acid bacteria, converts malic acid to lactic acid and carbon dioxide and often occurs. This ‘malolactic’ fermentation is usually slow. For both yeast and bacterial fermentations strain selection is based more on fermentation performance than on sensory characteristics of the wine, with increased tolerance of the yeast to ethanol and of the bacteria to low pH being emphasized. Attempts to increase the malolactic fermentation rate have been made by cloning and transferring the malolactic gene from Lactobacillus to wine yeast. In early attempts to produce wines with enhanced or novel sensory characteristics a leucine-less mutant of a homothallic wine yeast has been obtained which does not produce isoamyl alcohol.     

Ethyl carbamate production by selected yeasts and lactic acid bacteria in red wine

This study was designed to investigate the formation of ethyl carbamate during the fermentation of musts of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon by selected yeasts in different conditions of temperature and pH. Secondary malolactic fermentation was then induced by selected lactic acid bacteria. The results indicate an increased concentration of ethyl carbamate after malolactic fermentation, irrespective of the bacteria used or the prevailing physicochemical conditions.

Metabolites produced during fermentation of wine by mixed cultures of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria

Certain aspects of the interrelationship between associations of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria during the fermentation of grape must were studied. Action bySaccharomyces pastorianus gave rise to increased formation of keto acids and residual metabolites. Addition ofLactobacillus plantarum to the fermentation process may inhibit alcoholic fermentation and considerably increased the production of acetaldehyde andl(+) andd(–)lactic acids.

Putrescine production from different amino acid precursors by lactic acid bacteria from wine and cider

The aim of this work was to study the production of biogenic amines and particularly putrescine in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) related to wine and cider. We applied an analytical protocol that involves the use of PCR and TLC techniques to determine the production of putrescine from different precursors. Moreover, we also studied the ability of the Lactobacillus and Pediococcus tested to produce histamine and tyramine. The results showed that the majority of the Lactobacillus brevis analyzed harbour both AgDI and tdc genes and are tyramine and putrescine producers. Conversely, among the other LAB tested, only one Lactobacillus hilgardii and one Pediococcus pentosaceus produced putrescine. The AgDI gene was also detected in two other LAB (Lactobacillus mali and Pediococcus parvulus), but no putrescine production was observed. Finally, hdc gene and histamine production were found in strains (L. hilgardii 5211, isolated from wine, and Lactobacillus casei 18, isolated from cider) that were not putrescine producers.     

Comparative study of the inhibitory effects of wine polyphenols on the growth of enological lactic acid bacteria

This paper reports a comparative study of the inhibitory potential of 18 phenolic compounds, including hydroxybenzoic acids and their derivatives, hydroxycinnamic acids, phenolic alcohols and other related compounds, stilbenes, flavan-3-ols and flavonols, on different lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains of the species Oenococcus oeni, Lactobacillus hilgardii and Pediococcus pentosaceus isolated from wine. In general, flavonols and stilbenes showed the greatest inhibitory effects (lowest IC?? values) on the growth of the strains tested (0.160-0.854 for flavonols and 0.307-0.855 g/L for stilbenes). Hydroxycinnamic acids (IC?? > 0.470 g/L) and hydroxybenzoic acids and esters (IC?? >1 g/L) exhibited medium inhibitory effect, and phenolic alcohols (IC?? > 2 g/L) and flavanol-3-ols (negligible effect) showed the lowest effect on the growth of the LAB strains studied. In comparison to the antimicrobial additives used in winemaking, IC?? values of most phenolic compounds were higher than those of potassium metabisulphite for O. oeni strains (e.g., around 4-fold higher for quercetin than for potassium metabisulphite), but lower for L. hilgardii and P. pentosaceus strains (e.g., around 2-fold lower for quercetin). Lysozyme IC?? values were negligible for L. hilgardii and P. pentosaceus, and were higher than those corresponding to most of the phenolic compounds tested for O. oeni strains, indicating that lysozyme was less toxic for LAB than the phenolic compounds in wine. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed damage of the cell membrane integrity as a consequence of the incubation with antimicrobial agents. These results contribute to the understanding of the inhibitory action of wine phenolics on the progress of malolactic fermentation, and also to the development of new alternatives to the use of sulphites in enology.

Citrulline production by lactic acid bacteria in Chinese rice wine

Ethyl carbamate (EC) is a carcinogenic compound derived from the spontaneous reaction of ethanol with urea or citrulline in Chinese rice wine. Polymerase chain reaction–denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis showed that five species, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactococcus lactis and Lactobacillus coryniformis were the most abundant bacteria in the Chinese rice wine production process. Five strains belonging to these species can degrade arginine primarily in the exponential growth phase and accumulate citrulline in MRS‐Arg medium. In addition, an L. brevis strain was shown to be capable of assimilating citrulline, indicating the potential of this strain suggesting a potential route to reduce citrulline content and ethyl carbamate formation in Chinese rice wine fermentation.

Compartmentalization of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts in the fermentation of brined cucumbers

Lactic acid bacteria were distributed between the brine and cucumbers in brine-fermented cucumbers. The percentage of bacterial cells located within the cucumbers, of the total cells produced, varied from c. 8–51%, depending upon: (1) gas exchange treatment of the cucumbers before brining and (2) time of inoculation with Lactobacillus plantarum after brining. Oxygen exchange of the cucumbers before brining, and early inoculation of the brine, resulted in higher percentages of cells within the fermented cucumbers. Nitrogen exchange of the cucumbers before brining, and delay in inoculation of the brine for 2 days after brining resulted in lower percentages of cells within the cucumbers. No evidence was found to indicate that yeast cells were present within fermented cucumbers, even when the brines were inoculated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the cucumbers had been O₂-exchanged prior to brining. Yeasts, because of their greater size than bacteria, appear to be excluded from the cucumber interior.     

Occurrence of biogenic amine-forming lactic acid bacteria in wine and cider

A collection of 810 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains isolated from wine and cider was screened for potential biogenic amine (BA) producers by combining molecular and phenotypic approaches. A newly developed multiplex PCR method allowed for the simultaneous detection of four genes involved in the production of histamine (histidine decarboxylase, hdc), tyramine (tyrosine decarboxylase, tyrdc) and putrescine (via either ornithine decarboxylase, odc, or agmatine deiminase, agdi) while TLC and HPLC analysis allowed for BA-production determination. One hundred and fifty-eight LAB strains were monitored by the molecular/phenotypic double approach and revealed a good correlation between genotypic and phenotypic data. Eighteen per cent of the tested strains were positive for at least one BA target gene with up to three detected simultaneously, in particular amongst Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus hilgardii isolates for the tyrdc and agdi genes. The most frequent gene corresponded to the agdi gene detected in 112 strains (14% of all LAB strains) of 10 different LAB species. The tyrdc gene was detected in 67 strains represented by 7 different LAB species (8% overall), especially those isolated from wine. Lower levels of hdc⁺ (2% of strains) and especially odc⁺ (0.5% of strains) strains were observed. Interestingly, species that have never been described to carry BA-producing pathway genes were identified in this study. Furthermore, only one cadaverine-producer was detected and corresponded to Lactobacillus 30a, a collection strain not found in fermented beverages, although cadaverine is commonly detected in wines.
