چکیده

Sixteen wine fermentations were examined for the presence of killer yeasts. Killer property and sensitivity to killer action were found in isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae but not in isolates of Kloeckera, Candida, Hansenula, and Torulaspora spp. Several killer and killer-sensitive strains of S. cerevisiae were differentiated by colony morphology, and this property was used to monitor their growth kinetics in mixed cultures in grape juice. Killer-sensitive strains died off within 24 to 48 h during mixed-strain fermentation. Killer action was demonstrated at pH 3.0 and pH 3.5 and over the range of 15 to 25 degrees C but depended on the proportion of killer to killer-sensitive cells at the commencement of fermentation. The dominance of killer strains in mixed-strain fermentations was reflected in the production of ethanol, acetic acid, and glycerol.

Growth of Natural Yeast Flora during the Fermentation of Inoculated Wines.

The growth of yeasts that occur naturally in grape juice was quantitatively examined during the fermentation of four wines that had been inoculated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although S. cerevisiae dominated the wine fermentations, there was significant growth of the natural species Kloeckera apiculata, Candida stellata, Candida colliculosa, Candida pulcherrima, and Hansenula anomala.

The Influence of Pichia Killer Toxins on the Wine Spoilage Yeasts

Killer yeasts are able to produce toxins that antagonize the growth of susceptible yeasts cells of the same species or the ones that are related to them. Killer strains are resistant to their own toxins but can be sensitive to killer proteins of other yeasts. The killer proteins of Pichia spp. are known for its broad spectrum of antifungal activity including pathogens such as Candida albicans. ...

Improvement of wine organoleptic characteristics by non-Saccharomyces yeasts

In traditional winemaking, natural fermentation of grape juice is carried out by a sequence of different yeast species. The early stages are dominated by non-Saccharomyces yeasts and are replaced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae that finish the fermentation process. In this chapter was evaluated the kinetics and metabolic behavior of Kloeckera apiculata mc1 and S. cerevisiae mc2 in composite culture...

Yeast interactions and wine flavour.

Wine is the product of complex interactions between fungi, yeasts and bacteria that commence in the vineyard and continue throughout the fermentation process until packaging. Although grape cultivar and cultivation provide the foundations of wine flavour, microorganisms, especially yeasts, impact on the subtlety and individuality of the flavour response. Consequently, it is important to identif...

Yeasts, bacteria and filamentous fungi all contribute to the microbial ecology of wine production and the chemical composition of wine, although yeasts play the dominant role because they drive alcoholic fermentation [18]. Many factors affect the microbial ecology of wine production, of which the chemical composition of the grape juice and the fermentation processes are the most significant. In...
