Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with wine fermentation and adaptation to nitrogen limitation in wild and domesticated yeast strains.

ABSTRACT: For more than 20 years, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has served as a model organism for genetic studies and molecular biology, as well as a platform for biotechnology (e.g., wine production). One of the important ecological niches of this yeast that has been extensively studied is wine fermentation, a complex microbiological process in which S. cerevisiae faces various stresses such as limited availability of nitrogen. Nitrogen deficiencies in grape juice impair fermentation rate and yeast biomass production, leading to sluggish or stuck fermentations, resulting in considerable economic losses for the wine industry. In the present work, we took advantage of the "1002 Yeast Genomes Project" population, the most complete catalogue of the genetic variation in the species and a powerful resource f
