Multiple studies in recent years have shown the potential of Saccharomyces wild yeasts to produce craft beers with new flavour profiles and other desirable properties. Yeasts isolated from food (wine, bread, kombucha…) have shown potential promise for application in brewing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of 141 Saccharomyces yeast strains isolated from the Madrilenian agriculture (from grapes, must, wine, vineyard, and cellars) to produce a novel ale beer. Fermentation activity of the strains was compared against the commercial strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae Safale S-04. In addition to the other aspects such as melatonin production, thirty-three volatile compounds belonging to higher alcohols, esters, aldehydes/cetones, acids, lactones and phenolic groups, were analysed by GC for selection of the strains. Ten strains were finally chosen, among which the most relevant was the strain G 520 showing a higher production of esters, higher alcohols and acids compared with S-04. The apparent attenuation for this strain was lower than commercial strain, which translates into more residual sugars. Furthermore, G 520 was more capable of producing significantly higher amounts of melatonin studied by HPLC, as well as showing a higher antioxidant capacity. Consumer study showed that G 520 strain could be used to produce a potential beer that has a place in the current market.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the production of extracellular enzymes in a number of twenty six autochtonous Saccharomyces and nonSaccharomyces strains selected in Dealu Mare region for wine production. The strains were screened for the production of extracellular b-glucosidase, esterase, pectinase and protease activity by inoculation the yeast strains onto selective media. All Saccharomyces tested strains showed at least two enzymatic activities while nonSaccharomyces strains showed activity at least for one enzyme. The weakest activity was recorded in case of β-glucosidase. Most of the tested strains exhibit more or less intense activity for polygalacturonase/pectinase and protease. This study put into evidence the potential of autochtonous and especially of non-Saccharomyces strains as source of production of secondary compounds which can play an important role in improving the quality of wines.

Одним из важных современных направлений виноделия является получение высококачественных вин с узнаваемой сортовой индивидуальностью. В данном аспекте наиболее привлекательными для потребителя являются вина из мускатных сортов винограда. Pабота посвящена изучению влияния штаммов дрожжей рода Saccharomyces на формирование сортового аромата виноматериалов из винограда сорта Цитронный Магарача и отбору перспективных штаммов для их производства. Объектами исследования являлись виноматериалы, приготовленные с использованием 20 штаммов дрожжей вида S. cerevisiae. В результате хроматографического анализа было идентифицировано 17 компонентов, относящихся к различным группам химических соединений: высшим спиртам, сложным эфирам, терпеновым спиртам. Исследуемые штаммы способствовали накоплению в виноматериалах терпеновых спиртов в концентрации от 0,46 до 1,51 мг/л, высших спиртов - от 153,86 до 263,89 мг/л, сложных эфиров - от 3,96 до 19,09 мг/л. По результатам органолептической оценки опытных образцов для производства вин из винограда сорта Цитронный Магарача рекомендованы два коллекционных штамма Алиготе М (I-76) и Мускат 4 (Р) (I-637) из КМВ «Магарач». Использование данных штаммов позволило получить виноматериалы с ярким развитым ароматом цветочно-фруктового направления с проявлением тонов цитрусовых и розы. Отмечено, что штамм Алиготе М (I-76) способствовал обогащению виноматериалов терпеновыми спиртами и сложными эфирами, штамм Мускат 4 (Р) (I-637) - сложными эфирами. One of the important modern trends in winemaking is the production of high quality wines with recognizable varietal identity. In this aspect, the most attractive for consumers are the wines from muscat grape varieties. The work is devoted to the study of the effect of yeast strains of the Saccharomyces genus on the formation of varietal aroma of base wines from grapes of 'Tsitronnyi Magaracha' variety and selection of promising strains for their production. The objects of the study were base wines prepared using 20 strains of S. cerevisiae yeast species. As a result of chromatographic analysis, 17 components of various groups of chemical compounds were identified: higher alcohols, esters, terpene alcohols. The studied strains contributed to the accumulation of terpene alcohols in concentration from 0.46 to 1.51 mg/l, higher alcohols - from 153.86 to 263.89 mg/l, esters - from 3.96 to 19.09 mg/l. According to the results of organoleptic evaluation of experimental samples for wine production from grapes of 'Tsitronnyi Magaracha' variety, two strains 'Aligote M' (I-76) and 'Muscat 4' (P) (I-637) from the Magarach Collection of Microorganisms of Winemaking are recommended. The use of these strains have made it possible to obtain base wines with advanced rich aroma of a floral-fruity direction with demonstration of citrus and rose hues. It was noted that the strain 'Aligote M' (I-76) contributed to the enrichment of base wines with terpene alcohols and esters, the strain 'Muscat 4' (P) (I-637) - with esters.

Higher alcohols, volatile fatty acids, and esters are the most important volatiles and their formation is closely related to yeast strains employed during fermentation. In the present work, the effect of indigenous yeast strains on selected wine volatiles was examined using a highly sophisticated analytical method – comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography. Results of the statistical analysis revealed that each strain could be characterised and differentiated according to its volatile composition: strain Y2 was characterised by 2-phenylethanol and 1-hexanol, strain Y1 was in close relationship with high amounts of 4-methyl-1-pentanol, iso-amyl alcohol, ethyl 3-hydroxypentanoate and 3-methylpentanoic acid and strain Y3 was associated with 1-heptanol, cis-3-hexen-1-ol, β-phenylethyl butyrate, octanoic, and decanoic acids. The selection of an appropriate yeast strain thus represents a critical variable affecting the analysed volatile compounds (wine flavour) not only in a qualitative but also in a quantitative way.

Freshness, although it is a concept difficult to define in wines, can be understood as a combination of different circumstances. Organolepticwise, bluish red, floral and fruity, more acidic and full-bodied wines, are perceived as younger and fresher by consumers. In traditional winemaking processes, these attributes are hard to boost if no other technology or biotechnology is involved. In this regard, the right selection of yeast strains plays an important role in meeting these parameters and obtaining wines with fresher profiles. Another approach in getting fresh wines is through the use of novel non-thermal technologies during winemaking. Herein, the contributions of non-Saccharomyces yeasts and emerging technologies to these parameters are reviewed and discussed.

Quality of plum jerkum is significantly associated to the profile of volatile compounds. Therefore, we decided to assess the impact of various fermentation types on selected properties of plum jerkums, especially compounds which contribute to the aroma of the finished product. We used the following yeast strains: S. cerevisiae S1, H. uvarum H2, and Ethanol RED (S. cerevisiae). Moreover, we considered spontaneous fermentation. S. cerevisiae and H. uvarum strains were isolated during the fermentation of Čačanska Lepotica or Węgierka Dąbrowicka (plum cultivars), respectively. As for fermentation type, spontaneous fermentation of H. uvarum H2 provided the best results. It could be associated to the fact that plum juices fermented with H. uvarum H2 presented the highest concentration of terpenoids, esters, or some higher alcohols. In the current paper, application of indigenous strains of yeasts resulted in the required oenological characteristics, e.g., highest fermentation efficiency and concentration of ethanol was determined in juices fermented with Ethanol RED (S. cerevisiae) and also with S. cerevisiae S1. Our results suggested that indigenous strains of yeasts present in plums demonstrate great potential for the production of plum jerkums of high quality.

Endophytic fungi (EF) can enhance both plant growth and defense barriers against pests and pathogens, contributing to the reduction of chemical pesticides and fertilizers use in agriculture. Beauveria bassiana is an entomopathogenic fungus showing endophytism in several crops, often associated with a good capacity to limit the development of pests and disease agents. However, the diversity of the protective efficacy and plant response to different strains can be remarkable and needs to be carefully assessed for the successful and predictable use of these beneficial microorganisms. This study aims to select B. bassiana strains able to colonize tomato plants as endophytes as well as to control two important disease agents, Botrytis cinerea and Alternaria alternata, and the pest aphid, Macrosiphum euphorbiae. Nine wild-type isolates and one commercial strain were screened for endophytism, then further characterized for plant-growth promotion plus inhibition of disease development and pest infestation. Four isolates proved to have a good control activity against the biotic stressors tested, but only Bb716 was also able to promote plant growth. This work provides a simple workflow for the selection of beneficial EF, paving the way towards more effective use of B. bassiana in Integrate Pest Management (IPM) of tomato.

Elevated CO2 increases soybean growth and photosynthesis, and the resulting additional supply of photosynthates stimulates nodule activity. To characterize its biochemical response to both CO2 and bradyrhizobial strains, soybean inoculated with three strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum was grown in growth chambers under ambient (400 µmol·mol–1) or elevated (800 µmol·mol–1) CO2. Soluble sugars were generally more abundant in leaves and nodules under elevated CO2, while starch and pinitol were depleted, indicating that additional photosynthates were rapidly used, in particular for nodule growth (dry mass increased by 65%). Ureides (allantoin and allantoic acid) increased under elevated CO2 in leaves, while this increase was not significant in nodules. The indigenous strain 12NS14 induced the highest ureides concentration in nodules under elevated CO2 along with the highest nitrogenase activity and increase in shoot dry mass, indicating a positive-feedback stimulation: soybean mobilized energy reserves to support more nodules, and in return nodules synthesized more ureides to support plant growth. In contrast, the commercial strain 532c resulted in the highest ureide concentrations in leaves, coupled with the lowest nitrogenase activity and nodules yield, suggesting a feedback inhibition of nodule activity. Our results show that selection of B. japonicum strains better adapted to elevated CO2 could improve soybean performance.
