Quantifying the individual effects of ethanol and temperature on the fitness advantage of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
2011
The presence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in grape berries and fresh musts is usually very low. However, as fermentation progresses, the population levels of this species considerably increase. In this study, we use the concept of fitness advantage to measure how increasing ethanol concentrations (0-25%) and temperature values (4-46 °C) in wine fermentations affects competition between S. cerevisiae and several non-Saccharomyces yeasts (Hanseniaspora uvarum, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Candida zemplinina, Pichia fermentans and Kluyveromyces marxianus). We used a mathematical approach to model the hypothetical time needed for S. cerevisiae to impose itself on a mixed population of the non-Saccha…
Genetic and molecular basis of the aroma production in S. kudriavzevii, S. uvarum and S. cerevisiae
2016
En la presente tesis nos hemos centrado en el estudio del papel de las especies S. uvarum y S. kudriavzevii en la síntesis de aromas y como principal aplicación en la elaboración de vinos. En estudios anteriores, estas dos especies, estrechamente relacionadas con S.cerevisiae, mostraron diferencias notables durante la producción de alcoholes superiores y ésteres cuando se comparaban con S. cerevisiae (Gamero et al., 2013; Pérez-Torrado et al., 2015). Los alcoholes superiores y ésteres formados por las levaduras, son componentes claves en el sabor y el aroma de los productos fermentados. Tal y como hemos mencionado previamente, S. kudriavzevii y S. uvarum presentan diferencias muy significat…
Differential Contribution of the Parental Genomes to a
2019
In European regions of cold climate, S. uvarum can replace S. cerevisiae in wine fermentations performed at low temperatures. S. uvarum is a cryotolerant yeast that produces more glycerol, less acetic acid and exhibits a better aroma profile. However, this species exhibits a poor ethanol tolerance compared with S. cerevisiae. In the present study, we obtained by rare mating (non-GMO strategy), and a subsequent sporulation, an interspecific S. cerevisiae × S. uvarum spore-derivative hybrid that improves or maintains a combination of parental traits of interest for the wine industry, such as good fermentation performance, increased ethanol tolerance, and high glycerol and aroma productions.
