In this study, nine Oenococcus oeni strains were tested for their ability to adhere to polystyrene using mMRS and wine as culture media. Moreover, planktonic and biofilm-detached cells were investigated for their influence on malic acid degradation kinetics and aroma compound production. Three strains were able to adhere on polystyrene plates in a strain-dependent way. In particular, MALOBACT-T1 and ISO359 strains mainly grew as planktonic cells, while the ISO360 strain was found prevalent in sessile state. The strain-dependent adhesion ability was confirmed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Planktonic and biofilm detached cells showed a different metabolism. In fact, biofilm-detached cells had a better malic acid degradation kinetic and influenced the aroma composition of resulting wines, acting on the final concentration of esters, higher alcohols, and organic acids. Oenococcus oeni in biofilm lifestyle seems to be a suitable tool to improve malolactic fermentation outcome, and to contribute to wine aroma. The industrial-scale application of this strategy should be implemented to develop novel wine styles.

During the growth of Botrytis cinerea on grape must, malic acid is actively oxidized by malic dehydrogenase. Some properties of this constitutive enzyme are described. In the absence of glucose, malic acid metabolism results in an equivalent accumulation of oxalic acid. In the presence of glucose, malic acid degradation is much slower, but the glucose is completely oxidized by the reactions of the Krebs cycle. Citric acid production in Czapek solution and in grape must differs according to strains of Botrytis cinerea; it depends mainly on glucose metabolism and is not directly related to malic acid degradation.

<p style="text-align: justify;">L'addition au vin d'écorces de levure (0,2 g par litre) permet une stimulation de la fermentation malolactique. Leur action s'exerce en augmentant la population bactérienne et surtout en retardant et atténuant la phase de déclin. Le traitement du vin par des polysaccharides (alginates, polysaccharides extraits de vin) ou par l'extrait de levure accelere aussi le processus de dégradation de l'acide malique. Ces adjuvants agissent probablement en limitant l'action inhibitrice de certains métabolites levuriens tels les acides gras.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">+++</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Addition of yeast ghosts to wine (0,2 g per liter) stimulates the malolactic fermentation.

These additions probably limit the inhibition by some products of the yeast metabolism like fatty acids.</p>

The two controlled inoculation procedures of simultaneous and sequential fermentations with Saccharomyces Cerevisiae DJ02 and Lactobacliius acidophilus WS were studied in pear wine. The sugar consumption and ethanol product were delayed in the course of simultaneous fermentation contrary to the single fermentation. However in the sequential fermentation the effect was less than the simultaneous fermentation. In this work the function of malic acid degradation in the sequential fermentation was better than the simultaneous fermentation. The pH value of the pear wine came to 3.9 after the sequential fermentation. The change tendency of the yeast population after adding Lactobacliius acidophilus WS was similar to the yeast single fermentation in the simultaneous and sequential fermentation. But the cell population was went down in the course of the fermentation. The population of Lactobacliius acidophilus WS in the course of the two kinds of fermentation methods showed no significantly differences.

One of the problems related to the increase in average temperatures in the wine-growing regions is the lower accumulation of organic acids in the berries. Wine freshness depends to a great extent on its acidity. Herein, the effectiveness of fumaric acid to inhibit malolactic fermentation or to stop it once initiated is evaluated in order to preserve the malic acid content. Different doses of fumaric acid and SO2 were tested. The ability of these compounds to inhibit bacterial development and stop the malic acid degradation was tested on a red wine of the variety Vitis vinifera L. cv. Tempranillo whose malic acid content was set at 1.5 g/L. The control wine inoculated with 6 log CFU/mL of Oenococcus oeni finished the malolactic fermentation in 12 days. However, the use of doses equal to or greater than 300 mg/L of fumaric acid delayed the onset of malolactic fermentation for more than 50 days with little degradation of malic acid. In addition, fumaric acid proved to be effective in stopping malolactic fermentation already started where the bacterial count was 7 log CFU/mL. Fumaric acid can be considered as a potent inhibitor of malolactic fermentation.

This study reports the first application of a next generation sequencing (NGS) analysis. The analysis was designed to monitor the effect of the management of microbial resources associated with alcoholic fermentation on spontaneous malolactic consortium. Together with the analysis of 16S rRNA genes from the metagenome, we monitored the principal parameters linked to MLF (e.g., malic and lactic acid concentration, pH). We encompass seven dissimilar concrete practices to manage microorganisms associated with alcoholic fermentation: Un-inoculated must (UM), pied-de-cuve (PdC), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC), S. cerevisiae and Torulaspora delbrueckii co-inoculated and sequentially inoculated, as well as S. cerevisiae and Metschnikowia pulcherrima co-inoculated and sequentially inoculated. Surprisingly, each experimental modes led to different taxonomic composition of the bacterial communities of the malolactic consortia, in terms of prokaryotic phyla and genera. Our findings indicated that, uncontrolled AF (UM, PdC) led to heterogeneous consortia associated with MLF (with a relevant presence of the genera Acetobacter and Gluconobacter), when compared with controlled AF (SC) (showing a clear dominance of the genus Oenococcus). Effectively, the SC trial malic acid was completely degraded in about two weeks after the end of AF, while, on the contrary, malic acid decarboxylation remained uncomplete after 7 weeks in the case of UM and PdC. In addition, for the first time, we demonstrated that both (i) the inoculation of different non-Saccharomyces (T. delbrueckii and M. pulcherrima) and, (ii) the inoculation time of the non-Saccharomyces with respect to S. cerevisiae resources (co-inoculated and sequentially inoculated) influence the composition of the connected MLF consortia, modulating MLF performance. Finally, we demonstrated the first findings of delayed and inhibited MLF when M. pulcherrima, and T. delbrueckii were inoculated, respectively. In addition, as a further control test, we also assessed the effect of the inoculation with Oenococcus oeni and Lactobacillus plantarum at the end of alcoholic fermentation, as MLF starter cultures. Our study suggests the potential interest in the application of NGS analysis, to monitor the effect of alcoholic fermentation on the spontaneous malolactic consortium, in relation to wine.
