    Measures to improve wine malolactic fermentation
    (Springer-Verlag, 2019) Sumby, K.M.; Bartle, L.; Grbin, P.R.; Jiranek, V.
    This review focuses on the considerable amount of research that has been directed towards the improvement of efficiency and reliability of malolactic fermentation (MLF), which is important in winemaking. From this large body of work, it is clear that reliable MLF is essential for process efficiency and prevention of spoilage in the final product. Impediments to successful MLF in wine, the impact of grape and wine ecology and how this may affect MLF outcome are discussed. Further focus is given to how MLF success may be enhanced, via alternative inoculation strategies, MLF progress sensing technologies and the use of different bacterial species. An update of how this information may be used to enhance and improve sensory outcomes through metabolite production during MLF and suggestions for future research priorities for the field are also provided.

    QTL mapping: an innovative method for investigating the genetic determinism of yeast-bacteria interactions in wine
    (Springer-Verlag, 2021) Bartle, L.; Peltier, E.; Sundstrom, J.F.; Sumby, K.; Mitchell, J.G.; Jiranek, V.; Marullo, P.
    The two most commonly used wine microorganisms, Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast and Oenococcus oeni bacteria, are responsible for completion of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation (MLF), respectively. For successful co-inoculation, S. cerevisiae and O. oeni must be able to complete fermentation; however, this relies on compatibility between yeast and bacterial strains. For the first time, quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis was used to elucidate whether S. cerevisiae genetic makeup can play a role in the ability of O. oeni to complete MLF. Assessment of 67 progeny from a hybrid S. cerevisiae strain (SBxGN), co-inoculated with a single O. oeni strain, SB3, revealed a major QTL linked to MLF completion by O. oeni. This QTL encompassed a well-known translocation, XV-t-XVI, that results in increased SSU1 expression and is functionally linked with numerous phenotypes including lag phase duration and sulphite export and production. A reciprocal hemizygosity assay was performed to elucidate the effect of the gene SSU1 in the SBxGN background. Our results revealed a strong effect of SSU1 haploinsufficiency on O. oeni’s ability to complete malolactic fermentation during co-inoculation and pave the way for the implementation of QTL mapping projects for deciphering the genetic bases of microbial interactions.

    The microbial challenge of winemaking: yeast-bacteria compatibility
    (Oxford University Press, 2019) Bartle, L.; Sumby, K.; Sundstrom, J.; Jiranek, V.
    The diversity and complexity of wine environments present challenges for predicting success of fermentation. In particular, compatibility between yeast and lactic acid bacteria is affected by chemical and physical parameters that are strain and cultivar specific. This review focuses on the impact of compound production by microbes and physical interactions between microbes that ultimately influence how yeast and bacteria may work together during fermentation. This review also highlights the importance of understanding microbial interactions for yeast-bacteria compatibility in the wine context.
