Common Technique

Aim: The addition of SO2 is a common technique for stopping alcoholic fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and producing beverages with residual sugar. However, SO2 causes a metabolic shift in active yeast leading to the formation of acetaldehyde and resulting in higher preservative SO2 requirements in the final product. The current work investigated the effects of stopping alcoholic fermentation using two industrial strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, by means of cooling and/or addition of SO2, on the kinetics of hexoses and acetaldehyde.Methods and results: Alcoholic fermentation was conducted by inoculating natural Chardonnay grape must with two commonly used strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CY3079 and EC1118). Ten days after inoculation, cooling (to 4 °C) and/or addition of SO2 (50-350 mg/L) were applied to stop fermentations at approximately 70-90 g/L of residual sugar. Incubations were carried out in an anaerobic chamber to prevent the formation of acetalhdeyde resulting from chemical oxidation. Samples were taken regularly and analysed for glucose, fructose and acetalhdyde levels.In this work, addition of SO2 to 150 mg/L or more were effective in inhibiting further and practically relevant degradation of hexoses even in non-cooled control treatments. With concurrent cooling, an addition to 50 mg/L was sufficient. Addition of SO2always led to a slow increase in yeast acetaldehyde formation over time, regardless of cooling or the apparent inhibition of yeast sugar metabolism. Acetaldehyde increases were reduced with larger SO2 additions.Conclusions: When using SO2 to stop alcoholic fermentations, large doses should be used and wines separated from the sedimented biomass soon thereafter. Nevertheless, rapid cooling remains preferable to SO2 addition and can prevent further microbial formation of acetaldehyde.Significance and impact of the study: Results from the current work show that acetaldehyde, and therefore bound SO2formation, can be reduced when alcoholic fermentation is halted to obtain wines with residual sweetness.

As barley and oat production have recently increased in Canada, it has become prudent to investigate these cereal crops as potential feedstocks for alcoholic fermentation. Ethanol and other coproduct yields can vary substantially among fermented feedstocks, which currently consist primarily of wheat and corn. In this study, the liquified mash of milled grains from 28 barley (hulled and hull-less) and 12 oat cultivars were fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae to determine concentrations of fermentation products (ethanol, isopropanol, acetic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, α-glycerylphosphorylcholine (α-GPC), and glycerol). On average, the fermentation of barley produced significantly higher amounts of ethanol, isopropanol, acetic acid, succinic acid, α-GPC, and glycerol than that of oats. The best performing barley cultivars were able to produce up to 78.48 g/L (CDC Clear) ethanol and 1.81 g/L α-GPC (CDC Cowboy). Furthermore, the presence of milled hulls did not impact ethanol yield amongst barley cultivars. Due to its superior ethanol yield compared to oats, barley is a suitable feedstock for ethanol production. In addition, the accumulation of α-GPC could add considerable value to the fermentation of these cereal crops.

Nemea and Mantinia are famous wine regions in Greece known for two indigenous grape varieties, Agiorgitiko and Moschofilero, which produce high quality PDO wines. In the present study, indigenous Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains were isolated and identified from spontaneous alcoholic fermentation of Agiorgitiko and Moschofilero musts in order to evaluate their oenological potential. Random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) recovered the presence of five distinct profiles from a total of 430 yeast isolates. The five obtained strains were evaluated at microvinifications trials and tested for basic oenological and biochemical parameters including sulphur dioxide and ethanol tolerance as well as H2S production in sterile grape must. The selected autochthonous yeast strains named, Soi2 (Agiorgitiko wine) and L2M (Moschofilero wine), were evaluated also in industrial (4000L) fermentations to assess their sensorial and oenological characteristics. The volatile compounds of the produced wines were determined by GC-FID. Our results demonstrated the feasibility of using Soi2 and L2M strains in industrial fermentations for Agiorgitiko and Moschofilero grape musts, respectively.

Fructose Fermentation

ABSTRACT Fructose utilization by wine yeasts is critically important for the maintenance of a high fermentation rate at the end of alcoholic fermentation. A Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine yeast able to ferment grape must sugars to dryness was found to have a high fructose utilization capacity. We investigated the molecular basis of this enhanced fructose utilization capacity by studying the properties of several hexose transporter (HXT) genes. We found that this wine yeast harbored a mutated HXT3 allele. A functional analysis of this mutated allele was performed by examining expression in an hxt1-7Δ strain. Expression of the mutated allele alone was found to be sufficient for producing an increase in fructose utilization during fermentation similar to that observed in the commercial wine yeast. This work provides the first demonstration that the pattern of fructose utilization during wine fermentation can be altered by expression of a mutated hexose transporter in a wine yeast. We also found that the glycolytic flux could be increased by overexpression of the mutant transporter gene, with no effect on fructose utilization. Our data demonstrate that the Hxt3 hexose transporter plays a key role in determining the glucose/fructose utilization ratio during fermentation.

Abstract Background Saccharomyces cerevisiae is well-known as an ideal model system for basic research and important industrial microorganism for biotechnological applications. Acetic acid is an important growth inhibitor that has deleterious effects on both the growth and fermentation performance of yeast cells. Comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying S. cerevisiae adaptive response to acetic acid is always a focus and indispensable for development of robust industrial strains. eIF5A is a specific translation factor that is especially required for the formation of peptide bond between certain residues including proline regarded as poor substrates for slow peptide bond formation. Decrease of eIF5A activity resulted in temperature-sensitive phenotype of yeast, while up-regulation of eIF5A protected transgenic Arabidopsis against high temperature, oxidative or osmotic stress. However, the exact roles and functional mechanisms of eIF5A in stress response are as yet largely unknown. Results In this research, we compared cell growth between the eIF5A overexpressing and the control S. cerevisiae strains under various stressed conditions. Improvement of acetic acid tolerance by enhanced eIF5A activity was observed all in spot assay, growth profiles and survival assay. eIF5A prompts the synthesis of Ume6p, a pleiotropic transcriptional factor containing polyproline motifs, mainly in a translational related way. As a consequence, BEM4, BUD21 and IME4, the direct targets of Ume6p, were up-regulated in eIF5A overexpressing strain, especially under acetic acid stress. Overexpression of UME6 results in similar profiles of cell growth and target genes transcription to eIF5A overexpression, confirming the role of Ume6p and its association between eIF5A and acetic acid tolerance. Conclusion Translation factor eIF5A protects yeast cells against acetic acid challenge by the eIF5A-Ume6p-Bud21p/Ime4p/Bem4p axles, which provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the adaptive response and tolerance to acetic acid in S. cerevisiae and novel targets for construction of robust industrial strains.

Cost-effective production of cellulosic ethanol requires robust microorganisms for rapid co-fermentation of glucose and xylose. This study aims to develop a recombinant diploid xylose-fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for efficient conversion of lignocellulosic biomass sugars to ethanol. Episomal plasmids harboring codon-optimized Piromyces sp. E2 xylose isomerase (PirXylA) and Orpinomyces sp. ukk1 xylose (OrpXylA) genes were constructed and transformed into S. cerevisiae. The strain harboring plasmids with tandem PirXylA was favorable for xylose utilization when xylose was used as the sole carbon source, while the strain harboring plasmids with tandem OrpXylA was beneficial for glucose and xylose cofermentation. PirXylA and OrpXylA genes were also individually integrated into the genome of yeast strains in multiple copies. Such integration was beneficial for xylose alcoholic fermentation. The respiration-deficient strain carrying episomal or integrated OrpXylA genes exhibited the best performance for glucose and xylose co-fermentation. This was partly attributed to the high expression levels and activities of xylose isomerase. Mating a respiration-efficient strain carrying the integrated PirXylA gene with a respiration-deficient strain harboring integrated OrpXylA generated a diploid recombinant xylose-fermenting yeast strain STXQ with enhanced cell growth and xylose fermentation. Co-fermentation of 162 g L−1 glucose and 95 g L−1 xylose generated 120.6 g L−1 ethanol in 23 h, with sugar conversion higher than 99%, ethanol yield of 0.47 g g−1, and ethanol productivity of 5.26 g L−1·h−1.
