Transcriptional profile analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in second fermentation

ABSTRACT: Second fermentation in a bottle supposes such specific conditions that undergo yeasts to a set of stress situations like high ethanol, low nitrogen, low pH or sub-optimal temperature. Also, yeast have to grow until 1 or 2 generations and ferment all sugar available while they resist increasing CO2 pressure produced along with fermentation. Because of this, yeast for second fermentation must be selected depending on different technological criteria such as resistance to ethanol, pressure, high flocculation capacity, and good autolytic and foaming properties. All of these stress factors appear sequentially or simultaneously, and their superposition could amplify their inhibitory effects over yeast growth. Considering all of the above, it has supposed interesting to characterize the adaptive response of commercial yeast strain EC1118 during second-fermentation experiments under oenological/industrial conditions by transcriptomic profiling. We have pointed ethanol as the most relevant environmental condition in the induction of genes involved in respiratory metabolism, oxidative stress, autophagy, vacuolar and peroxisomal function, after comparison between time-course transcriptomic analysis in alcoholic fermentation and transcriptomic profiling in second fermentation. Other examples of parallelism include overexpression of cellular homeostasis and sugar metabolism genes. Finally, this study brings out the role of low-temperature on yeast physiology during second-fermentation. S. cerevisiae EC1118 pre-adapted to ethanol cells and sucrose (20 g/L) were added to 20 L of base wine (Cavas Freixenet, Sant Sadurní D’Anoia, Spain). Complete volume was bottled with 350 mL each one. All were sealed and incubated in static conditions at 16ºC for approximately 40 days after tirage. Three samples were taken during the process for transcriptional study of the physiological adaptation of yeast cells to industrial second fermentation conditions. A sample corresponding to exponential-growth phase under unstressed conditions (in YPD at 28ºC) was used as an external reference. Three timepoints from second-fermentation were monitored and three biological replicates from each timepoint were analyzed.

Project description:The yeast Dekkera bruxellensis is as ethanol tolerant as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and may be found in bottled wine. It causes the spoilage of wine, beer, cider and soft drinks. In wines, the metabolic products responsible for spoilage by Dekkera bruxellensis are mainly volatile phenols. These chemical compounds are responsible for the taints described as M-bM-^@M-^XM-bM-^@M-^XmedicinalM-bM-^@M-^YM-bM-^@M-^Y in white wines (due to vinyl phenols) and as M-bM-^@M-^XM-bM-^@M-^XleatherM-bM-^@M-^YM-bM-^@M-^Y, M-bM-^@M-^XM-bM-^@M-^Xhorse sweatM-bM-^@M-^YM-bM-^@M-^Y and M-bM-^@M-^XM-bM-^@M-^XstableM-bM-^@M-^YM-bM-^@M-^Y in red wines (due to ethyl phenols mainly 4-ethylphenol). Apart from the negative aroma nuances imparted by these yeasts, positive aromas such as M-bM-^@M-^XsmokyM-bM-^@M-^Y, M-bM-^@M-^XspicyM-bM-^@M-^Y and M-bM-^@M-^XtoffeeM-bM-^@M-^Y are also cited. Our goal was to identify the impact that the wine spoilage yeast Dekkera bruxellensis has on fermenting S. cerevisiae cells, especially on its gene expression level. To this end we co-inoculated both yeast species at the start of fermentation in a synthetic wine must, using S. cerevisiae-only fermentations without Dekkera bruxellensis as a control. All fermentations were employed in special membrane reactors (50 KDa pore size cut-off) physically separating Dekkera bruxellensis from wine yeast S. cerevisiae. Biomass separation with this membrane was done to abolish the possibility of hybridizing also D. bruxellensis probes on Agilent V2 (8x15K format) G4813 DNA microarrays designed just for S. cerevisiae ORF targets. The 50 KDa pore membrane separating both yeasts allowed the exchange of ethanol, metabolites and sugars during the fermentation. Fermentations were carried out in synthetic wine must in duplicate for both the control S. cerevisiae (strain Lalvin EC1118) and mixed fermentation. Sampling of yeast S. cerevisiae for RNA extractions were performed at 22 h of fermentation, during the exponential growth phase of S. cerevisiae, at 92 h and 144 h of fermentation, during its early and late stationary growth phase and at 187 h of fermentation, during its phase of growth decline.

Project description:Industrial wine yeast strains are geno- and phenotypically highly diversified, and have adapted to the ecological niches provided by industrial wine making environments. These strains have been selected for very specific and diverse purposes, and the adaptation of these strains to the oenological environment is a function of the specific expression profiles of their genomes. It has been proposed that some of the primary targets of yeast adaptation are functional binding sites of transcription factors (TF) and the transcription factors themselves. Sequence divergence or regulatory changes related to specific transcription factors would lead to far-reaching changes in overall gene expression patterns, which will in turn impact on specific phenotypic characteristics of different yeast species/ strains. Variations in transcriptional regulation between different wine yeast strains could thus be responsible for rapid adaptation to different fermentative requirements in the context of commercial wine-making. In this study, we compare the transcriptional profiles of five different wine yeast strains in simulated wine-making conditions: Comparative analyses of gene expression profiles in the context of TF regulatory networks provided new insights into the molecular basis for variations in gene expression in these industrial strains. We also show that the metabolic phenotype of one strain can indeed be shifted in the direction of another by modifying the expression of key transcription factors. SOK2 was one target transcription factor identified in this study. This expression factor was overexpressed in order to validate our hypotheses that altered expression levels of key transcription factors could shift metabolism in a directed, predicted manner. Fermentations were carried out in synthetic wine must in triplicate for both the control VIN13 strain and the SOK2 overexpressing strain. Sampling for RNA extractions were performed at day 2 of fermentation, during the exponential growth phase of the yeast cells.
