چکیده

By using the luciferase-luciferin ATP assay and whole cells of Leuconostoc oenos, we have demonstrated that malolactic fermentation does yield ATP. This energy-yielding mechanism did not occur in a cell extract and was inhibited in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or an ionophore such as monensin. A lactate:proton efflux mechanism for this proposed pathway is presented.

In vitro reassembly of the malolactic fermentation pathway of Leuconostoc oenos (Oenococcus oeni).

The mechanism of metabolic energy generation by malolactic fermentation was studied with artificial membrane vesicles of Leuconostoc oenos (Oenococcus oeni). (Note that although L. oenos was recently reclassified as O. oeni [L. M. T. Dicks, F. Dellaglio, and M. D. Collins, Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 45:395-397, 1995], the old designation was kept in the present work.) Purified malolactic enzyme w...

Combine Use of Selected Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Lachancea thermotolerans Yeast Strains as an Alternative to the Traditional Malolactic Fermentation in Red Wine Production.

Most red wines commercialized in the market use the malolactic fermentation process in order to ensure stability from a microbiological point of view. In this second fermentation, malic acid is converted into L-lactic acid under controlled setups. However this process is not free from possible collateral effects that on some occasions produce off-flavors, wine quality loss and human health prob...

Using Malolactic Fermentation with Acid- And Ethanol- Adapted Oenococcus Oeni Strain to Improve the Quality of Wine from Champs Bourcin Grape in Sapa - Lao Cai

Champs Bourcin black grape originated from Aquitaine, France and planted in Sapa, Lao cai provice, exhibited high total acidity (11.72 g/L). After 9 days of alcoholic fermentation at 25C using Saccharomyces cerevisiae UP3OY5 strain, the ethanol concentration of wine was 11.5% v/v, however the sharp sour taste of wine has been found. The malolactic fermentation (MLF) was carried out by Oenococcu...

Interactions between Saccharomyces and Oenococcus oeni strains from Amarone wine affect malolactic fer- mentation and wine composition

Introduction: The term malolactic fermentation (MLF) indicates a range of metabolic reactions by strains of lactic acid bacteria, usually Oenococcus oeni. MLF influences the organoleptic traits of wine and is necessary for the aging of red wines and certain white wines (LONVAUD-FUNEL 1999). However, the activities of malolactic bacteria (MB) in wine are affected by numerous factors, among which...

Controlling Wine Malolactic Fermentation with Nisin and Nisin-Resistant Strains of Leuconostoc oenos.

The polypeptide nisin (100 U/ml) prevented malolactic fermentation in wines by indigenous or intentionally added lactic acid bacteria. Nisin (100 U/ml)-resistant mutants of Leuconostoc oenos were obtained and used with nisin in wine to carry out a pure-culture malolactic fermentation in the presence or absence of other lactic acid bacteria. Nisin degradation by mutants was not observed, and res...
