RESUMO
In recent years, the boom of the craft beer industry refocused the biotech interest from ethanol production to diversification of beer aroma profiles. This study analyses the fermentative phenotype of a collection of non-conventional yeasts and examines their role in creating new flavours, particularly through co-fermentation with industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae. High-throughput solid and liquid media fitness screening compared the ability of eight Saccharomyces and four non-Saccharomyces yeast strains to grow in wort. We determined the volatile profile of these yeast strains and found that Hanseniaspora vineae displayed a particularly high production of the desirable aroma compounds ethyl acetate and 2-phenethyl acetate. Given that H. vineae on its own can't ferment maltose and maltotriose, we carried out mixed wort co-fermentations with a S. cerevisiae brewing strain at different ratios. The two yeast strains were able to co-exist throughout the experiment, regardless of their initial inoculum, and the increase in the production of the esters observed in the H. vineae monoculture was maintained, alongside with a high ethanol production. Moreover, different inoculum ratios yielded different aroma profiles: the 50/50 S. cerevisiae/H. vineae ratio produced a more balanced profile, while the 10/90 ratio generated stronger floral aromas. Our findings show the potential of using different yeasts and different inoculum combinations to tailor the final aroma, thus offering new possibilities for a broader range of beer flavours and styles.

Hanseniaspora vineae exhibits extraordinary positive oenological characteristics contributing to the aroma and texture of wines, especially by its ability to produce great concentrations of benzenoid and phenylpropanoid compounds compared with conventional Saccharomyces yeasts. Consequently, in practice, sequential inoculation of H. vineae and Saccharomyces cerevisiae allows to improve the aromatic quality of wines. In this work, we evaluated the impact on wine aroma produced by increasing the concentration of phenylalanine, the main amino acid precursor of phenylpropanoids and benzenoids. Fermentations were carried out using a Chardonnay grape juice containing 150 mg N/L yeast assimilable nitrogen. Fermentations were performed adding 60 mg/L of phenylalanine without any supplementary addition to the juice. Musts were inoculated sequentially using three different H. vineae strains isolated from Uruguayan vineyards and, after 96 h, S. cerevisiae was inoculated to complete the process. At the end of the fermentation, wine aromas were analysed by both gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and sensory evaluation through a panel of experts. Aromas derived from aromatic amino acids were differentially produced depending on the treatments. Sensory analysis revealed more floral character and greater aromatic complexity when compared with control fermentations without phenylalanine added. Moreover, fermentations performed in synthetic must with pure H. vineae revealed that even tyrosine can be used in absence of phenylalanine, and phenylalanine is not used by this yeast for the synthesis of tyrosine derivatives.

Core histone genes display a remarkable diversity of cis-regulatory mechanisms despite their protein sequence conservation. However, the dynamics and significance of this regulatory turnover are not well understood. Here, we describe the evolutionary history of core histone gene regulation across 400 million years in budding yeasts. We find that canonical mode of core histone regulation-mediated by the trans-regulator Spt10-is ancient, likely emerging between 320 and 380 million years ago and is fixed in the majority of extant species. Unexpectedly, we uncovered the emergence of a novel core histone regulatory mode in the Hanseniaspora genus, from its fast-evolving lineage, which coincided with the loss of 1 copy of its paralogous core histone genes. We show that the ancestral Spt10 histone regulatory mode was replaced, via cis-regulatory changes in the histone control regions, by a derived Mcm1 histone regulatory mode and that this rewiring event occurred with no changes to the trans-regulator, Mcm1, itself. Finally, we studied the growth dynamics of the cell cycle and histone synthesis in genetically modified Hanseniaspora uvarum. We find that H. uvarum divides rapidly, with most cells completing a cell cycle within 60â minutes. Interestingly, we observed that the regulatory coupling between histone and DNA synthesis was lost in H. uvarum. Our results demonstrate that core histone gene regulation was fixed anciently in budding yeasts, however it has greatly diverged in the Hanseniaspora fast-evolving lineage.

Yeasts have been widely used as a model to better understand cell cycle mechanisms and how nutritional and genetic factors can impact cell cycle progression. While nitrogen scarcity is well known to modulate cell cycle progression, the relevance of nitrogen excess for microorganisms has been overlooked. In our previous work, we observed an absence of proper entry into the quiescent state in Hanseniaspora vineae and identified a potential link between this behavior and nitrogen availability. Furthermore, the Hanseniaspora genus has gained attention due to a significant loss of genes associated with DNA repair and cell cycle. Thus, the aim of our study was to investigate the effects of varying nitrogen concentrations on H. vineae's cell cycle progression. Our findings demonstrated that nitrogen excess, regardless of the source, disrupts cell cycle progression and induces G2/M arrest in H. vineae after reaching the stationary phase. Additionally, we observed a viability decline in H. vineae cells in an ammonium-dependent manner, accompanied by increased production of reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial hyperpolarization, intracellular acidification, and DNA fragmentation. Overall, our study highlights the events of the cell cycle arrest in H. vineae induced by nitrogen excess and attempts to elucidate the possible mechanism triggering this absence of proper entry into the quiescent state.

During fermentation, Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolizes sugars and other nutrients to obtain energy for growth and survival, while also modulating these activities in response to cell-environment interactions. Here, differences in S. cerevisiae gene expression were explored over a time course of fermentation and used to differentiate fermentations, using Pinot noir grapes from 15 unique sites. Data analysis was complicated by the fact that the fermentations proceeded at different rates, making a direct comparison of time series gene expression data difficult with conventional differential expression tools. This led to the development of a novel approach combining diffusion mapping with continuous differential expression analysis (termed DMap-DE). Using this method, site-specific deviations in gene expression were identified, including changes in gene expression correlated with the non-Saccharomyces yeast Hanseniaspora uvarum, as well as initial nitrogen concentrations in grape musts. These results highlight novel relationships between site-specific variables and Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene expression that are linked to repeated fermentation outcomes. It was also demonstrated that DMap-DE can extract biologically relevant gene expression patterns from other contexts (e.g., hypoxic response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and offers advantages over other data dimensionality reduction approaches, indicating that DMap-DE offers a robust method for investigating asynchronous time series gene expression data. IMPORTANCE In this work, Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene expression was used as a biosensor to capture differences across and between fermentations of Pinot noir grapes from 15 unique sites representing eight American Viticultural Areas. This required development of a novel analysis method, DMap-DE, for investigation of asynchronous gene expression data. It was demonstrated that DMap-DE reveals biologically relevant shifts in gene expression related to cell-environment interactions in the context of hypoxia and fermentation. Using these data, it was discovered that gene expression by non-Saccharomyces yeasts and initial nitrogen content in grape musts are correlated with differences in gene expression among fermentations. These findings highlight important relationships between site-specific variables and gene expression that may be used to understand why foods and beverages, including wine, possess sensory characteristics associated with or derived from their place of origin.

The increasing interest in novel beer productions focused on non-Saccharomyces yeasts in order to pursue their potential in generating groundbreaking sensory profiles. Traditional fermented beverages represent an important source of yeast strains which could express interesting features during brewing. A total of 404 yeasts were isolated from fermented honey by-products and identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Zygosaccharomyces bailii, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and Hanseniaspora uvarum. Five H. uvarum strains were screened for their brewing capability. Interestingly, Hanseniaspora uvarum strains showed growth in presence of ethanol and hop and a more rapid growth than the control strain S. cerevisiae US-05. Even though all strains showed a very low fermentation power, their concentrations ranged between 7 and 8 Log cycles during fermentation. The statistical analyses showed significant differences among the strains and underlined the ability of YGA2 and YGA34 to grow rapidly in presence of ethanol and hop. The strain YGA34 showed the best technological properties and was selected for beer production. Its presence in mixed- and sequential-culture fermentations with US-05 did not influence attenuation and ethanol concentration but had a significant impact on glycerol and acetic acid concentrations, with a higher sensory complexity and intensity, representing promising co-starters during craft beer production.

Drosophila suzukii flies cause economic losses to fruit crops globally. Previous work shows various Drosophila species are attracted to volatile metabolites produced by individual fruit associated yeast isolates, but fruits naturally harbour a rich diversity of yeast species. Here, we report the relative attractiveness of D. suzukii to yeasts presented individually or in combinations using laboratory preference tests and field trapping data. Laboratory trials revealed four of 12 single yeast isolates were attractive to D. suzukii, of which Metschnikowia pulcherrima and Hanseniaspora uvarum were also attractive in field trials. Four out of 10 yeast combinations involving Candida zemplinina, Pichia pijperi, M. pulcherrima and H. uvarum were attractive in the laboratory. Whilst a combination of M. pulcherrima + H. uvarum trapped the greatest number of D. suzukii in the field, the efficacy of the M. pulcherrima + H. uvarum combination to trap D. suzukii was not significantly greater than traps primed with volatiles from only H. uvarum. While volatiles from isolates of M. pulcherrima and H. uvarum show promise as baits for D. suzukii, further research is needed to ascertain how and why flies are attracted to certain baits to optimise control efficacy.

Beer production is predominantly carried out by Saccharomyces species, such as S. cerevisiae and S. pastorianus. However, the introduction of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in the brewing process is now seen as a promising strategy to improve and differentiate the organoleptic profile of beer. In this study, 17 non-Saccharomyces strains of 12 distinct species were isolated and submitted to a preliminary sensory evaluation to determine their potential for beer bioflavouring. Hanseniaspora guilliermondii IST315 and H. opuntiae IST408 aroma profiles presented the highest acceptability and were described as having 'fruity' and 'toffee' notes, respectively. Their presence in mixed-culture fermentations with S. cerevisiae US-05 did not influence attenuation and ethanol concentration of beer but had a significant impact in its volatile composition. Notably, while both strains reduced the total amount of ethyl esters, H. guilliermondii IST315 greatly increased the concentration of acetate esters, especially when sequentially inoculated, leading to an 8.2-fold increase in phenylethyl acetate ('rose', 'honey' aroma) in the final beverage. These findings highlight the importance of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in shaping the aroma profile of beer and suggest a role for Hanseniaspora spp. in improving it.

Cocoa beans used for chocolate production are fermented seeds of Theobroma cacao obtained by a natural fermentation process. The flavors and chemical compounds produced during the fermentation process make this step one of the most important in fine chocolate production. Herein, an integrative analysis of the variation of microbial community structure, using a shotgun metagenomics approach and associated physicochemical features, was performed during fermentation of fine cocoa beans. Samples of Forastero variety (FOR) and a mixture of two hybrids (PS1319 and CCN51) (MIX) from Bahia, Brazil, were analyzed at 7 different times. In the beginning (0 h), the structures of microbial communities were very different between FOR and MIX, reflecting the original plant-associated microbiomes. The highest change in microbial community structures occurred at the first 24 h of fermentation, with a marked increase in temperature and acetic acid concentration, and pH decrease. At 24-48 h both microbial community structures were quite homogenous regarding temperature, acetic acid, succinic acid, pH, soluble proteins and total phenols. During 72-96 h, the community structure resembles an acidic and warmer environment, prevailing few acetic acid bacteria. Taxonomic richness and abundance at 72-144 h exhibited significant correlation with temperature, reducing sugars, succinic, and acetic acids. Finally, we recommend that dominant microbial species of spontaneous fine cocoa fermentations should be considered as inoculum in accordance with the farm/region and GMP to maintain a differential organoleptic feature for production of fine chocolate. In our study, a starter inoculum composed of Acetobacter pausterianus and Hanseniaspora opuntiae strains is indicated.

The objective of this study was to investigate the role of yeasts in the wet fermentation of coffee beans and their contribution to coffee quality using a novel approach. Natamycin (300 ppm) was added to the fermentation mass to suppress yeast growth and their metabolic activities, and the resultant microbial ecology, bean chemistry and sensory quality were analyzed and compared to non-treated spontaneous fermentation we reported previously. The yeast community was dominated by Hanseniaspora uvarum and Pichia kudriavzevii and grew to a maximum population of about 5.5 log CFU/g in the absence of Natamycin, while when Natamycin was added yeasts were suppressed. The major bacterial species in both the spontaneous and yeast-suppressed fermentations included the lactic acid bacteria Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Lactococcus lactis, the acetic acid bacteria Gluconobacter cerinus and Acetobacter persici and the Enterobacteriaceae Enterobacter, Citrobacter and Erwinia. For both fermentations, the mucilage layers were completely degraded by the end of the process and the absence of yeast activities had no significant impact on mucilage degradation. During fermentation, reducing sugars were consumed while lactic acid was accumulated inside the beans, and its concentration was significantly higher in the spontaneous fermentation (3 times) than that where yeasts were suppressed by Natamycin. Glycerol was detected with a concentration of 0.08% in the absence of Natamycin and was not identified when Natamycin was added. Green beans fermented with yeast growth contained a higher amount of isoamyl alcohol (21 times), ethanol (3.7 times), acetaldehyde (8 times), and ethyl acetate (25 times) compared to beans fermented in the absence of yeast activities, which remained higher in the former after roasting. Beans fermented without yeast activities had a mild fruity aroma, and lower sensory scores of fragrances (7.0), flavor (6.5), acidity (6.3), body (7.0) and overall score (6.5) compared to the former. These findings demonstrated the crucial roles of yeasts in wet fermentation of coffee beans and for producing high quality coffee.

Benzenoids are compounds associated with floral and fruity flavours in flowers, fruits and leaves and present a role in hormonal signalling in plants. These molecules are produced by the phenyl ammonia lyase pathway. However, some yeasts can also synthesize them from aromatic amino acids using an alternative pathway that remains unknown. Hanseniaspora vineae can produce benzenoids at levels up to two orders of magnitude higher than Saccharomyces species, so it is a model microorganism for studying benzenoid biosynthesis pathways in yeast. According to their genomes, several enzymes have been proposed to be involved in a mandelate pathway similar to that described for some prokaryotic cells. Among them, the ARO10 gene product could present benzoylformate decarboxylase activity. This enzyme catalyses the decarboxylation of benzoylformate into benzaldehyde at the end of the mandelate pathway in benzyl alcohol formation. Two homologous genes of ARO10 were found in the two sequenced H. vineae strains. In this study, nine other H. vineae strains were analysed to detect the presence and per cent homology of ARO10 sequences by PCR using specific primers designed for this species. Also, the copy number of the genes was estimated by quantitative PCR. To verify the relation of ARO10 with the production of benzyl alcohol during fermentation, a deletion mutant in the ARO10 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used. The two HvARO10 paralogues were analysed and compared with other α-ketoacid decarboxylases at the sequence and structural level.

The present work studied the fermentative potential and carbon metabolism of an indigenous yeast isolated from Lebanese apples for cider production. The indigenous yeast strain was isolated from a spontaneous fermented juice of the Lebanese apple variety 'Ace spur'. The sequencing of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) domain of rRNA identified the isolated yeast strain as a member of the Hanseniaspora genus. These results suggest an intragenomic ITS sequence heterogeneity in the isolated yeast strain specifically in its ITS1 domain. The different investigations on the yeast carbon metabolism revealed that the isolated yeast is 'Crabtree positive' and can produce and accumulate ethanol from the first hours of fermentation. Thus, our findings highlight the possibility of using the isolated indigenous Hanseniaspora strain as a sole fermentative agent during cider production.

Benzenoid-derived metabolites act as precursors for a wide variety of products involved in essential metabolic roles in eukaryotic cells. They are synthesized in plants and some fungi through the phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and tyrosine ammonia lyase (TAL) pathways. Ascomycete yeasts and animals both lack the capacity for PAL/TAL pathways, and metabolic reactions leading to benzenoid synthesis in these organisms have remained incompletely known for decades. Here, we show genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic evidence that yeasts use a mandelate pathway to synthesize benzenoids, with some similarities to pathways used by bacteria. We conducted feeding experiments using a synthetic fermentation medium that contained either 13C-phenylalanine or 13C-tyrosine, and, using methylbenzoylphosphonate (MBP) to inhibit benzoylformate decarboxylase, we were able to accumulate intracellular intermediates in the yeast Hanseniaspora vineae To further confirm this pathway, we tested in separate fermentation experiments three mutants with deletions in the key genes putatively proposed to form benzenoids (Saccharomyces cerevisiaearo10Δ, dld1Δ, and dld2Δ strains). Our results elucidate the mechanism of benzenoid synthesis in yeast through phenylpyruvate linked with the mandelate pathway to produce benzyl alcohol and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde from the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine, as well as sugars. These results provide an explanation for the origin of the benzoquinone ring, 4-hydroxybenzoate, and suggest that Aro10p has benzoylformate and 4-hydroxybenzoylformate decarboxylase functions in yeast.IMPORTANCE We present here evidence of the existence of the mandelate pathway in yeast for the synthesis of benzenoids. The link between phenylpyruvate- and 4-hydroxyphenlypyruvate-derived compounds with the corresponding synthesis of benzaldehydes through benzoylformate decarboxylation is demonstrated. Hanseniaspora vineae was used in these studies because of its capacity to produce benzenoid derivatives at a level 2 orders of magnitude higher than that produced by Saccharomyces Contrary to what was hypothesized, neither ß-oxidation derivatives nor 4-coumaric acid is an intermediate in the synthesis of yeast benzenoids. Our results might offer an answer to the long-standing question of the origin of 4-hydroxybenzoate for the synthesis of Q10 in humans.

The growing trend in the wine industry is the revaluation of the role of non-Saccharomyces yeasts, promoting the use of these yeasts in association with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Non-Saccharomyces yeasts contribute to improve wine complexity and organoleptic composition. However, the use of mixed starters needs to better understand the effect of the interaction between these species during alcoholic fermentation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of mixed starter cultures, composed by combination of different S. cerevisiae and Hanseniaspora uvarum strains, on wine characteristics and to investigate the role of cell-to-cell contact on the metabolites produced during alcoholic fermentation. In the first step, three H. uvarum and two S. cerevisiae strains, previously selected, were tested during mixed fermentations in natural red grape must in order to evaluate yeast population dynamics during inoculated fermentation and influence of mixed starter cultures on wine quality. One selected mixed starter was tested in a double-compartment fermentor in order to compare mixed inoculations of S. cerevisiae/H. uvarum with and without physical separation. Our results revealed that physical contact between S. cerevisiae and H. uvarum affected the viability of H. uvarum strain, influencing also the metabolic behaviour of the strains. Although different researches are available on the role of cell-to-cell contact-mediated interactions on cell viability of the strains included in the mixed starter, to our knowledge, very few studies have evaluated the influence of cell-to-cell contact on the chemical characteristics of wine.

BACKGROUND: Three yeast strains with probiotic potential, Hanseniaspora opuntiae, Pichia kudriavzevii, and Wickerhamomyces anomalus were inoculated in the fermentation of Guajillo chilli pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) sauce, and the different aroma profiles were investigated. Using headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) analysis and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GCO), flavour compound production was evaluated during the fermentation of the Guajillo chilli pepper sauces. RESULTS: A total of 78 volatile compounds were identified during the yeast fermentation of the sauce. Most aldehydes and terpenes detected were present at the beginning of the fermentation, indicating a Guajillo chilli pepper origin. Among the 34 active aroma compounds detected by GCO, propanoic acid (cheesy), 3-methylbutanoic acid (sharp, cheese), ethyl 2-methylbutanoate (fruity), and 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one (strong, citrus) were identified as key aroma contributors produced by the inoculation of the yeasts. A different aroma profile was produced by probiotic yeast. Hanseniaspora opuntiae produced an aroma profile with herbal and green notes based on high production of aldehydes, ketones, and acetic acid. Pichia kudriavzevii and W. anomalus produced fruity, green-herbal, and cheesy notes based on ester compounds, alcohol and branched-chain acids production although, the production of propanoic acid by W. anomalus increased the cheesy character in the sauces. CONCLUSION: The aroma profile of fermented chilli pepper sauces depends not only on the chili pepper varieties used but also on the fermentation process as a source of aroma compounds. The use of probiotic yeast can be used to improve and diversify the aroma profile of fermented chilli pepper sauces. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Fermentation by microorganisms is a key step in the production of traditional food products such as bread, cheese, beer and wine. In these fermentative ecosystems, microorganisms interact in various ways, namely competition, predation, commensalism and mutualism. Traditional wine fermentation is a complex microbial process performed by Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces (NS) yeast species. To better understand the different interactions occurring within wine fermentation, isolated yeast cultures were compared with mixed co-cultures of one reference strain of S. cerevisiae with one strain of four NS yeast species (Metschnikowia pulcherrima, M. fructicola, Hanseniaspora opuntiae and H. uvarum). In each case, we studied population dynamics, resource consumed and metabolites produced from central carbon metabolism. This phenotyping of competition kinetics allowed us to confirm the main mechanisms of interaction between strains of four NS species. S. cerevisiae competed with H. uvarum and H. opuntiae for resources although both Hanseniaspora species were characterized by a strong mortality either in mono or mixed fermentations. M. pulcherrima and M. fructicola displayed a negative interaction with the S. cerevisiae strain tested, with a decrease in viability in co-culture. Overall, this work highlights the importance of measuring specific cell populations in mixed cultures and their metabolite kinetics to understand yeast-yeast interactions. These results are a first step towards ecological engineering and the rational design of optimal multi-species starter consortia using modeling tools. In particular the originality of this paper is for the first times to highlight the joint-effect of different species population dynamics on glycerol production and also to discuss on the putative role of lipid uptake on the limitation of some non-conventional species growth although interaction processes.

The use of Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeast species as mixed starters has potential advantages over pure culture fermentation due to increased wine complexity based on modification of metabolites of oenological interest. In this work, the effects of initial oxygenation on fermentation performance, chemical and volatile composition of French Colombard wine fermented with Hanseniaspora vineae and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in sequential inoculations were investigated in 1 L flasks. Although dominated by S. cerevisiae at the middle-end of fermentation, initial aeration for 1 day boosted H. vineae populations, and allowed H. vineae to coexist longer with S. cerevisiae in mixed cultures compared to no aeration, and suppressed S. cerevisiae later in the fermentation, which resulted in extended fermentation time. More important, the major fermentation products and volatile compounds were significantly modified by aeration and different from no aeration fermentation. The wines produced by aeration of mixed fermentations were characterized with higher amounts of glycerol, lactic acid and acetate esters, and lower levels of ethanol, higher alcohol and ethyl fatty acid esters. The aeration had more potential to shape the quality of wines and diversify the aromatic characteristics relative to simple mixed inoculation, as indicated by PCA analysis. Our results suggested that the impact of early aeration on yeast physiology extends beyond the aeration phase and influences fermentation activity, chemical and aromatic compounds in the following anaerobic stage. The aeration for a short time during the cell growth stage in mixed fermentation is therefore a potential means to increase the aromatic diversity and quality of wine, possibly providing an alternative approach to meet the expectations of wine consumers for diverse aromatic qualities.

Hanseniaspora sp. yeast was stimulated using pulsed electric field (PEF) during the different fermentation phases. The impact of PEF parameters on the growth rate and substrate consumption was studied. The PEF intensities chosen for this study were mainly in the range of 72-285 V cm-1. A PEF treatment chamber was designed for this study with a ratio of 1:50 between the volume of the fermenter and the volume of the chamber. It allows the recycling of the culture medium using a peristaltic pump, and the yeast treatment by PEF during the fermentation. The continuous circulation of the medium allows avoiding the increase of the temperature inside the fermenter, the cell aggregation, as well as the agitation and the scale-up issues that are associated with the PEF treatment of the entire volume in batch mode. The maximal yeast growth rate was obtained using an electric field strength of 285 V cm-1 applied during both Lag and early exponential phase, and Log phase. This observation was accompanied by a faster consumption of glucose in the medium during the fermentation. Besides, the sensitivity of Hanseniaspora sp. yeast to PEF treatment was more pronounced during the Lag and early exponential phase than the Log phase. The results obtained exposed the great benefit of stimulating Hanseniaspora sp. yeast using moderate PEF as it reduces the fermentation time along with increasing the biomass concentration.

In this study, apple juice was fermented using Hanseniaspora osmophila X25-5 in pure culture as well as mixed culture with Torulaspora quercuum X24-4, which was inoculated simultaneously or sequentially. H. osmophila inhibited the growth of T. quercuum, while T. quercuum had little effect on the growth of H. osmophila. The simultaneous fermentation consumed relatively more sugar and resulted in the highest ethanol content. The production of organic acids varied depending on the yeast species employed and inoculation modality. Esters and alcohols were the main volatile families produced during fermentation, while ethyl esters and terpenes contributed most to the temperate fruity aroma. Gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) showed that 3-methyl-1-butanol, ethyl 2-methylbutanoate, phenylethyl alcohol, ß-phenethyl acetate, and ß-damascenone were the most potent odorants in all samples. This study suggested that simultaneous fermentation with H. osmophila and T. quercuum might represent a novel strategy for the future production of cider.

Vitis davidii Föex is widely planted in South China as a potential wine making grape. In this study, yeast communities during the spontaneous fermentations of two varieties of Vitis davidii Föex in Guizhou, China were investigated. Hanseniaspora uvarum, Pichia terricola, Saccharomyces cerevisiae/S. mikatae, and Schizosaccharomyces japonicus were the four main yeast species detected by culture-dependent and high-throughput sequencing approaches. However, the composition of minor yeast species was quite different as revealed by the two approaches. Ten yeast species including Debaryomyces hansenii, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Sporidiobolus paraoseus, Starmerella bacillaris, Zygoascus meyerae, etc. were detected by culture-dependent approaches, whereas the other five species were found by high-throughput sequencing analysis. S. japonicus was widely found during spontaneous fermentations and its concentrations were mostly higher than that of S. cerevisiae. The difference in grape varieties and fermentation conditions contributed to yeast diversity. The results of this study provide basic information on indigenous yeast diversity from Vitis davidii Föex in Guizhou, which would help to exploit the potential of non-Saccharomyces yeast species with good oenological attributes.
