Transcriptomic analysis of the oxygen response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae EC1118 under wine fermentation conditions

ABSTRACT: Oxygen additions play a critical role in winemaking. However, few studies have focused on how this oxygen affects yeast metabolism and physiology in wine making conditions. We performed microarrays to unveil the oxygen response in wine making conditions.

Project description:This work was designed to identify yeast cellular functions specifically affected by the stress factors predominating during the first stages of wine fermentation and genes required for optimal growth under these conditions. The main experimental method used was quantitative fitness analysis by means of competition experiments of whole genome barcoded yeast knock-out collections in continuous culture. This methodology allowed the identification of haploinsufficient genes and homozygous deletions resulting in growth impairment in synthetic must. However, genes identified as haploproficient or homozygous deletions resulting in fitness advantage were of little predictive power concerning optimal growth in this medium. The relevance of these functions for enological performance of yeast was assessed in batch cultures with single strains. Previous studies addressing yeast adaptation to winemaking conditions by quantitative fitness analysis, were not specifically focused on the proliferative stages, and their results were greatly dependent on the effects of gene deletions on yeast survival during stationary phase. Since biomass production has a great influence on the whole fermentation kinetics, focusing on the proliferative stages of the fermentation process has practical implications. In some instances our results highlight the importance of genes not previously linked to winemaking. In other cases our results are complementary to those reported in previous studies concerning, for example, the relevance of some genes involved in vacuolar, peroxisomal, or ribosomal functions. Transport processes and glucose signaling seem to be negatively affected by the stress factors encountered by yeast in synthetic must. Vacuolar activity is important for continued growth during the transition to stationary phase. Finally, reduced biogenesis of peroxisomes also seems to be advantageous. However, in contrast to what was described for later stages, reduced protein synthesis is not advantageous for the first stages of the fermentation, when most cell proliferation takes place.
