Laboratory of Wine Microbiology and Biotecnology
Research lines:
- Ecology and diversity. Taxonomy. Molecular methods for detection and identification. Studies on the ecology of yeast and bacterial species in wine. Taxonomic analysis and description of new species. Development of various methodologies for the detection, identification, and quantification of organisms present in wine. Quality control. Control of the implantation of starter cultures.
- Metabolism of acidic sugars and amino acids in lactic acid bacteria. This research line aims to understand the abilities of microorganisms to use substrates present in must or wine, to determine how these substrates affect the growth of bacteria, and to understand the effect of their u…
