Identification of Vibrio spp. (other than V. vulnificus) recovered on CPC agar from marine natural samples

2000

Two hundred and eighty four presumptive but not confirmed Vibrio vulnificus isolates grown on cellobiose-polymixin B-colistin agar (CPC) at 40°C, recovered from sea water samples from Valencia, Spain, during a microbiological survey for V. vulnificus, were phenotypically identified. Most of the isolates (91%) corresponded to Vibrio species. V. harveyi (24%) and V. splendidus(19%) were the most abundant species identified, followed by V. navarrensis (13%), V. alginolyticus (8%) and V. parahaemolyticus (5%). The ability to grow on CPC agar and ferment cellobiose of several V. vulnificus strains from different origins and serovars, including reference strains, was tested. Most serovar E isolat…

Transformation of Ochratoxin A by Microorganisms Isolated from Tempranillo Grapes in Wine Systems

2020

Mycotoxins are toxic metabolites produced by various genera of fungi. Fungi belonging to species of the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium are the main source of ochratoxin A (OTA) in wine. The reduction of OTA in must and wine has been studied using physical, chemical, and biological technologies. In this paper, we report on the capacity of different cultures isolated from Tempranillo winegrapes contaminated with fungus to degrade OTA in tryptic soy broth (TSB) medium at pH 3.5 and 6.5. We studied the interaction between OTA and four isolates during alcoholic fermentation of red wine. This study showed that microorganism isolates reduced the content of OTA in TSB medium and in the wine exp…
