Detalle de: Metabolome segregation of four strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae , Saccharomyces uvarum and Saccharomyces kudriavzevii conducted under low temperature oenological conditions

Summary The monitoring of fermentation at low temperatures (12–15°C) is a current practice in the winery for retention and enhancement of the flavour volatile content of wines. Among Saccharomyces species, Saccharomyces uvarum and Saccharomyces kudriavzevii have revealed interesting industrial properties, including better adaptation at low temperatures. To gather deeper knowledge of the fermentative metabolism at a low temperature of these species together with S. cerevisiae , we performed a comparative metabolomic analysis using four representative strains. We used batch cultures to obtain an exhaustive and dynamic image of the metabolome of strains passing through the sequential stresses related to the winemaking environment. A great variety of intra‐ and extracellular metabolites (>500 compounds) were quantified across fermentation using distinct chromatographic methods. Besides a global decrease in the lipid composition of the four strains when they entered into the stationary phase, we reported some strain‐specific high magnitude changes. Examples of these differences included divergent patterns of production of short‐chain fatty acids and erythritol in the S. uvarum strain. Strains also differed in expression for aromatic amino acid biosynthesis and sulphur metabolism, including the glutathione pathway. These data will allow us to refine and obtain the most value of fermentations with this alternative Saccharomyces species.
