RESUMEN

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.

RESUMEN

We aim to clarify the ligninolytic capabilities of dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) from bacteria and fungi, compared to fungal lignin peroxidase (LiP) and versatile peroxidase (VP). With this purpose, DyPs from Amycolatopsis sp., Thermomonospora curvata, and Auricularia auricula-judae, VP from Pleurotus eryngii, and LiP from Phanerochaete chrysosporium were produced, and their kinetic constants and reduction potentials determined. Sharp differences were found in the oxidation of nonphenolic simple (veratryl alcohol, VA) and dimeric (veratrylglycerol-ß- guaiacyl ether, VGE) lignin model compounds, with LiP showing the highest catalytic efficiencies (around 15 and 200 s-1·mM-1 for VGE and VA, respectively), while the efficiency of the A. auricula-judae DyP was 1-3 orders of magnitude lower, and no activity was detected with the bacterial DyPs. VP and LiP also showed the highest reduction potential (1.28-1.33 V) in the rate-limiting step of the catalytic cycle (i.e., compound-II reduction to resting enzyme), estimated by stopped-flow measurements at the equilibrium, while the T. curvata DyP showed the lowest value (1.23 V). We conclude that, when using realistic enzyme doses, only fungal LiP and VP, and in much lower extent fungal DyP, oxidize nonphenolic aromatics and, therefore, have the capability to act on the main moiety of the native lignin macromolecule.

RESUMEN

Both Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeast strains are of great importance for the fermentation industry, especially with the flourishing of craft breweries, which are driving current innovations. Non-conventional yeasts can produce novel beverages with attractive characteristics such as flavour, texture, and reduced alcohol content; however, they have been poorly explored. A new method for screening the fitness of conventional and non-conventional yeast libraries utilising robotic platforms and solidified media representing industrial conditions is proposed. As proof of concept, a library formed of 6 conventional and 17 non-conventional yeast strains was distributed in 96, 384 and 1536 arrays onto a YPD agar medium. Following this, the library was replicated in different conditions mimicking beer and cider fermentation conditions. The colony size was monitored over time, and fitness values measured in maximum pixels/h and maximum biomass were calculated. Significant differences in growth were observed in between the different strains and conditions. As examples, Candida milleri Y-7245 displayed good performance in wort conditions, and Kazachstania yakushimaensis Y-48837 stood out for its performance in apple juice. The method is proposed to be used as a pre-screening step when studying vast yeast libraries. This would enable interested parties to discover potential hits for further study at a low initial cost. Furthermore, this method can be used in other applications where the desired screening media can be solidified.
