The yeast Starmerella bacillaris (synonym Candida zemplinina) shows high genetic diversity in winemaking environments.
2015
International audience; The yeast Candida zemplinina (Starmerella bacillaris) is frequently isolated from grape and wine environments. Its enological use in mixed fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been extensively investigated these last few years, and several interesting features including low ethanol production, fructophily, glycerol and other metabolites production, have been described. In addition, molecular tools allowing the characterization of yeast populations have been developed, both at the inter- and intraspecific levels. However, most of these fingerprinting methods are not compatible with population genetics or ecological studies. In this work, we developed 10 micr…
Mitochondria inheritance is a key factor for tolerance to dehydration in wine yeast production
2015
UNLABELLED Mitochondria are the cell's powerhouse when organisms are grown in the presence of oxygen. They are also the source of reactive oxygen species that cause damage to the biochemical components of the cell and lead to cellular ageing and death. Under winemaking conditions, Saccharomyces yeasts exclusively have a fermentative metabolism due to the high sugar content of grape must. However, their production as an active dry yeast (ADY) form required aerobic propagation and a dehydration process. In these industrial steps, oxidative stress is particularly harmful for the cell. In this work, we analysed the impact of the mitochondrial genome on oxidative stress response, longevity and d…
Diversité des Brettanomyces et de leur résistance au SO2. Les nouvelles avancées vers une meilleure gestion du SO2 en vinification.
2019
International audience; Des recherches ont été menées par le Groupe National « Lutte contre Brettanomyces » et plus particulièrement sur la relation SO2 et Brettanomyces bruxellensis afin d’approfondir les connaissances sur le comportement de la levure et d’apporter des données essentielles à une bonne gestion du risque.Une grande diversité de la levure Brettanomyces a été mise en évidence (identification de différents groupes génétiques) ainsi que des comportements différents vis-à-vis du SO2 : sensibles, tolérants ou résistant. Grâce à la mise au point d’un outil prédictif (TYP \ Brett), les professionnels pourront connaître le groupe génétique pour mieux intervenir.Ces travaux ont égalem…
