Relationships Among Origin, Genotype, and Oenological Traits of Brettanomyces Yeasts.

ABSTRACT: Brettanomyces yeasts play a relevant role in the fermentation industry, showing controversial behavior. There is growing interest in these yeasts in the fermentation industry as beer and bioethanol production, while in winemaking, they are considered spoilage microorganisms mainly used to produce ethyl phenols. These compounds may alter wine's organoleptic characteristics, leading to significant economic loss. In this work, 45 Brettanomyces strains from seven different environments were genotyped and assayed for some oenological characters to investigate the possible relationship among sources of isolation, genotype characterization, and oenological characters. The results of biotyping showed four main clusters which were also distinguished according to the oenological charac
