Texto completoNon-Saccharomyces yeasts, naturally found in grape must, can impact wine quality positively or negatively. In recent years, the use of mixed cultures as starters (association of S. cerevisiae species and other species) such as the couple Saccharomyces cerevisiae/Torulaspora delbrueckii is proposed to winemakers. Interactions between these two species have been studied with two commercial strains, T. delbrueckii Zymaflore Alpha and S. cerevisiae Zymaflore X5 (Laffort). Alcoholic fermentations were carried out in a fermentor with double compartment allowing a physical separation of yeasts and preserving the homogeneity culture medium. The results highlighted that the physical separation impacts the growth of both strains, suggesting interactions of type cell-cell contact between these two strains. If a large majority of winemakers use selected yeasts strains, some of them chose to favor native yeasts, S. cerevisiae species and non- Saccharomyces species. The impact of two environmental factors was investigated on five non-Saccharomyces species (T. delbrueckii, Metschnikowia spp., Candida zemplinina, Hanseniaspora uvarum, Pichia kluyveri) and two strains of S. cerevisiae (one with short fermentation lag phase, one with long fermentation lag phase), in pure and mixed cultures. The inoculation with S. cerevisiae with a long fermentation lag phase in a must saturated with CO2 allowed to stimulate some of non-Saccharomyces which present an interest in winemaking (T. delbrueckii/P. kluyveri) and inhibit the undesirable ones (H. uvarum, C. zemplinina)

Texto completoThe use of yeasts in industry is inseparable from their ability to be produced and dehydrated. This dehydration process causes various dysfunctions in yeast cells that affect their functionality and viability. In order to protect yeasts from dehydration, food additives are often used as emulsifiers and antioxidants. However, yeasts are able to produce naturally protective substances, such as glutathione (GSH) and trehalose (TRE). In this context, three non-Saccharomyces (NS) strains, belonging to the different genera and species Torulaspora delbrueckii, Metschnikowia pulcherrima and Lachancea thermotolerans, were studied in this thesis. Despite the great interest aroused by their multiple agro-food applications, their dehydration resistance mechanisms associated with the synthesis of GSH and TRE, are currently unknown. This study is ultimately aimed at the formulation of new NS yeast dried strains without any food additives. In a first chapter, the impact of the “reference yeast” Saccharomyces cerevisiae dehydration in a pre-pilot fluidized bed has been correlated with the synthesis of GSH and TRE. It was possible to modulate the culture medium composition in order to optimize cell preservation before, during and after dehydration. In a second chapter, the previously defined conditions were applied to NS yeasts strains in order to understand the effects of dehydration on their microbial functionality. This study demonstrated that GSH plays an important role in NS yeasts protection, depending on the culture and dehydration conditions. In a third chapter, some oxidation resistance phenomena of the three NS strains were studied. It was clearly demonstrated that the susceptibility of cells to oxidative attack was dependent on culture-dehydration conditions and was yeast strain-dependent. Finally, in a fourth chapter, an in-depth biochemical study of the most dehydration-sensitive yeast strain, L. thermotolerans, was performed by synchrotron FTIR micro-spectroscopy. Cells grown in GSM (medium favoring the production of GSH), besides showing a better viability, showed a greater intensity in the spectral bands of lipids CH2 and CH3, associated with the plasma membrane fluidity. In addition, TSM grown cells (TSM is a medium favoring the production of TRE) exhibited a higher protein denaturation, suggested by the intensity of β-sheet peaks, and C=O (lipid oxides) bands correlated with lipid peroxidation. These data can explain the decreased of viability of this strain during production-dehydration process. The fundamental knowledge acquired in this study will be useful to obtain new dehydrated yeast strains without additives and with high performance. It will be useful also to improve the formulation and dehydration methods currently used in industry

Texto completoStudy of the interaction between the non-Saccharomyces yeast and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This study aims to describe changes in the flavor profile of the wine on one hand and reducing percentage of alcohol on the other hand. For this, control of non-Saccharomyces yeast is required. Thus, the main aromatic molecules must be measured according to the conditions of cultures (pure culture - sequential culture) and their effects on the organoleptic properties will be evaluated. In parallel, their sugar, nitrogen, oxygen and vitamins requirements will be determined to decrease the percentage of alcohol in the wine

Texto completoThis thesis observed the yeasts present in the ecological niche of "wine must". The dynamics and identity of non-Sacchoromyces yeasts during the cold maceration and alcoholic fermentation of grape must were investigated under real production conditions and laboratory scale in the Bordeaux region. Furthermore, we studied the impact of three oenological parameters (temperature management, timing of dried yeast addition and oxygen) on the development and diversity of non-saccharomyces yeasts during cold maceration. Twenty-six different non-Saccharomyces species were placed in a collection representing the non-Saccharomyces yeast diversity during initial steps in wine making. In addition several types of interaction between non-,Saccharomyces yeast and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were revealed. The impact of several non-Saccharomycesyeasts on wine aromatic properties was revealed by studying their capacity to contribute to the grapefruit and box tree aroma in white wines. This work also proposes specific detection and observation of Issatchenkia orientalis, Candida zemplinina Metschnikowia pulcherrima, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Hanseniaspora spp. And Saccharonryces by quantitative PCR in the ecosystem

Texto completoThe use of the selected yeast strains to realize the alcoholic fermentation is very prevalent practice in vinification. After the development of utilization of the preparation of pure Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, the innovation is now to apply the mixte starter cultures of Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces that allow to diversifying the obtained final products. The problem resides in the existence of interactions between the strains giving the difficulty to controle the fermentation. Torulaspora delbrueckii present in the indigenous flora of the grape must is one of the most appropriate non-Saccharomyces yeasts to enter in the composition of these multistater cultures. In fact, this strain has been presented a good fermentative capacity and could allow to increasing not only the aromatic complexity of wine, but also to reducing its volatile acidity. The objective of our work is to study the interactions during the alcoholic fermentation between the selected strains for enology: one T. delbrueckii and one S. cerevisiae. For this reason, the experiments were realized in the synthetic mediums simulated to the white grape must. The behaviours of the pure strains were firstly characterized. It was shown that the S. cerevisiae strain had the best fermentative performances, a critical point in comparaison with the T. delbrueckii strain. Nevetheless, T. delbrueckii showed the acceptable capacities to exhaust the sugars and especially to allow us to obtain the different aromatic profiles to that of S. cerevisiae. The behaviour via the oxygenation to the musts of these two yeasts is enough close, T. delbrueckii being however much more sensible to that parameter than . cerevisiae. The interactions between these two yeasts were then studied in a membrane bioreacteur under strict anaerobie in different conditions: composition in assimilable nitrogen of the medium and strategy of inoculation. It has been clearly demonstrated that T. delbrueckii has been affected by the presence of S. cerevisiae. The suspected type of this interaction is the amensalism one bound to a toxic compound excreted by S. cerevisiae. In these conditions, the recommended inoculation strategy is the sequential culture of these yeasts: T. delbrueckii at the beginning of the fermentation, then the addition of S. cerevisiae after 48 h. This allows T. delbrueckii to develop and express its potentiel of aromatic production before the S. cerevisiae is introduced to assure a rapid finish of the fermentation. However, we showed that even in these conditions, T. delbrueckii growth has been not guaranteed because of, since the must is not sterilized, a presence even small of S. cerevisiae in the natural flore can inhibite the croissance of the former. It has been also demonstrated that in the must with low intitial nitrogen content, this compound could be exhausted at the moment of the S. cerevisiae inoculation. In these conditions, S. cerevisiae can not develop and the achievement of the fermentation is yet problematic

Texto completoThe first objective of this thesis was to study the fungal component of ruminant microbiota, particularly in dairy cows. To this end, we targeted the intestinal mycobiota of dairy cows differently fed and considering also the impact of the seasonality. Therefore, the analysis of beta-diversity showed a different mycobiota, depending on the type of feed received. The cows were fed with a summer pasture diet and a winter diet constituted of hay, corn and grass silage and production concentrate. The alpha diversity indices (Simpson inverse, Chao1, Simpson uniformity) unveiled a greater richness, diversity and uniformity of mycobiota with summer feeding, and a noticeable decrease in these parameters with winter feeding. In our analysis, we found that Geotrichum genus was present in all ruminants in this study in winter, leading to the highest relative abundance 65%. A second study revealed a mycobiota composed of an operational taxonomic unit (OTU) belonging to the Dipodascaceae family and present in all compartments of the gastrointestinal tract (rumen, colon, rectum). The OTU could not be further identified, but it should be noted that the Geotrichum genus belongs to the Dipodascaceae family. Analysis of the beta-diversity of these same samples was carried out after DNA extraction using 3 different kits, and analysis of the mycobiotic profiles revealed differences between the profile obtained using DNA extracted with a commercial kit recommended for microbiota analysis (ZM), and the profiles obtained with the other two kits (MN and ZQ). The second objective was to screen and characterize a collection of non-Saccharomyces yeasts for their probiotic trends and design a potential application in the animal production, particularly in ruminants. Following a screening of a collection of 431 non-Saccharomyces yeasts for their inhibitory activity against Gram-positive target bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria, 71 strains showed inhibitory activity against at least one of the target bacteria. Nonetheless, we considered 6 non-Saccharomyces yeasts (ICVY060, LAN55, ICVY061, ICVY062, ICVY063 and ICVY064) due to their spectrum of activity in vitro against ruminant pathogens, under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and prevailing temperatures of 30°C and 39°C. Two strains, ICVY060 and LAN55, showed the broadest spectrum of activity by inhibiting all targeted bacteria. Of note, these strains were characterized for their resistance to conditions mimicking those prevailing in the animal abomasum and intestine compartments, with better survival rate in the in vitro abomasum conditions. Finally, all these strains resulted to be safe as non-cytotoxic, non-hemolytic activity was registered and were also sensitive to the main antifungal agents of clinical use. Further analyses, such as their surface properties or their impact on membrane integrity by studying the expression of genes encoding cell junction proteins were established

Texto completoThis anthropological investigation concerns the types of relationships between scientists, and more specifically biologists, with those actually called their “research object”. From the assessment that the use of categories such as rationality or objectivity, or the dichotomies subject/object and nature/culture can only be prejudicial to a rendition of the scientific experiment which considers what really matters to the researchers, this PhD takes place around a laboratory and around meticulous observation of the interactions between the two prevailing species which define it : the Man and the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, and question therefore with a different perspective notions such as reductionism, objectivity or universality of knowledge made from western sciences

Texto completoIn Saccharomyces cerevisiae heteromeric transcriptional complex HAP controls the fermentation/respiration shift. Genes ScHAP2/3/5 encoding CCAAT-binding core subunits are constitutively expressed. ScHAP4, containing the transcriptional activation domain is repressed by glucose and is conserved only in 16 aa N-terminal motif essential for ScHap2/3/5 interaction. During diauxic shift ScHAP4 promoter is released from glucose repression and ScHap4 via interaction with ScHap2/3/5 complex activates the respiratory genes. In Hansenula polymorpha two ScHap4 homologues HpHap4-A and HpHap4-B harboring the conservative N-terminal ScHap4 motif were identified. Both of them allay Sc delta hap4 mutant respiratory deficiency and activate the expression of ScCYC1. We report that HpHAP4-A is the functional orthologue of ScHAP4 and regulates positively the respiratory genes in obligate aerob H. Polymorpha. HpHAP4-B, containing additionally DNA-binding domain of bZIP type, is involved in iron deficit and oxidative stress response. The expression of these genes in H. Polymorpha is regulated by carbon source and iron in opposite manner pointing at their different functional role. HpHap4-B alleviates the sensitivity of both S. Cerevisiae and H. Polymorpha deltayap1 mutants to oxidative stress. A set of experiments was performed to characterize the mutants with deleted HpHAP4-A, HpHAP4-B and HpYAP1. The HpHap4-A and HpHap4-B transcription regulatory effect in heterologous S. Cerevisiae and native H. Polymorpha systems are studied. The interplay of N-terminal conserved motif of ScHap4 and bZip of the YAP family proteins may be important during evolution of transcriptional regulatory network

Texto completoThe phenotypic characterization of Torulaspora delbrueckii species in enological conditions, using a large number of strains, showed up a wide variability within this species. Indeed, the strains of T. delbrueckii present different fermentative capacities for lag phase and fermentation durations, biotic capacities and ethanol production (up to 12 % vol.). This phenotypic variability is also obtained for the production of volatile acidity, glycerol and certain aroma compounds. This work confirms the low productions of volatile acidity and glycerol of this species and reveals an osmotic stress response distinct from that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Finally, the T. delbrueckii species presents a high fermentation purity and produces low levels of undesirable compounds like hydrogen sulfide, volatile phenols, acetoin, acetaldehyde and diacetyl. The realization of co-inoculations T. delbrueckii / S. cerevisiae on high sugar must, allows a systematic reduction of the volatile acidity of wines, in comparison to a pure fermentation of S. cerevisiae. Moreover, co-inoculation with the T. delbrueckii strain OXT1 1 // 2 allowed the increase of aromatic complexity of a Sauvignon blanc dry wine (esters + 25%, 2-phenylethanol +51 % and volatile thiols + 31 %). At last, the development of a fermentor with double compartment allowing a physical separation of yeasts and preserving the homogeneity of culture medium, allowed us to approach the study of yeast interactions. Inhibitions of type “cell-cell contact” have been demonstrated

Texto completoThe effects of different anthropogenic activities (vineyard, winery) on fungal populations from grape to wine were studied. To characterize these effects, it was necessary to access to the overall diversity of populations (pyrosequencing and spectroscopy FT-IR) but also to intra-specific diversity (FT-IR). Spectroscopy FT-IR has been validated for their ability to characterize the global population and to discriminate the strains for three species of non-Saccharomyces yeasts (NS). For the first time, it is shown that the grape berry is a limited source for NS yeasts while the winery seems to be a significant source; the air is an important vector for dissemination of these yeasts. In addition, persistence of NS yeast strains from year to year in the winery has been demonstrated. The studied anthropogenic activities modify the fungal diversity. Thus, lower biodiversity of grapes from organic modality was measured for the three vintages considered. The pressing / clarification step revises strongly fungal populations and the influence of the winery flora is confirmed. The addition of SO2 changes the population dynamics and favors the dominance of the species S. cerevisiae. The non-targeted chemical analysis shows, for the first time, that these wines can be distinguished at the end of the alcoholic fermentation (with or without SO2) depending on plant protection. Thus, the existence in wines of chemical and microbiological signatures associated with vineyard protection mode is highlighted

Thesis, La Réunion, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020LARE0032.
Texto completoThe huge diversity of natural aroma compounds produced by yeast is described as an option particularly interesting because of the various metabolisms occurring in these microorganisms and their ability of producing a large panel of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Among the non-Saccharomyces yeast cited in the literature, the yeast Saprochaete suaveolens (former known as Geotrichum fragrans) is distinguishable from the others aromatic yeasts for its high productivity in VOCs both from a quantitative and qualitative point of view. S. suaveolens is notably very promising for its production in high valuable α-unsaturated esters such as ethyl tiglate, which are rarely refund in the aromatic bouquet of yeast strains and which are industrially produced by synthetical way for the aroma market. Aromatic metabolism of S. suaveolens could therefore be seen as a modele for VOCs production by yeast. This study aimed at better characterizing and valorizing the aroma production by a wild strain of S. suaveolens by three approaches. First approach is based on the use of the knowledges on aromatic metabolism of S. suaveolens to develop a screening method allowing the selection of natural VOCs producing wild strains, notably under form of α-unsaturated esters. The second approach consisted in optimizing the aroma production by S. suaveolens while generating and selecting mutants overproducing unsaturated esters via UV mutagenesis. The last approach allowed evaluating the aromatization power of S. suaveolens in brewery fermentation condition. Globally, results of these works have shown that our model based on S. suaveolens metabolism allowed isolating news α-unsaturated esters producing strains from samples taken from dejections of wild animals in South-Africa. Moreover, the mutagenic approach allowed demonstrating the possibility of very significantly increasing the overall VOCs production of S. suaveolens thank to the inactivation of a key-enzyme of its aromatic metabolism, namely the enoyl-CoA hydratase. Finally, beer making trials clearly showed that S. suaveolens posseses an aromatizing power particularly appreciable in the context of mixed fermentation of musts carried out in industrial conditions in the presence of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Thesis, Université de Lorraine, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012LORR0013/document.
Texto completoThe L7Ae family proteins are essential components of many RNPs. In vertebrates, C/D and H/ACA snoRNPs are involved in ribosome biogenesis, the U4 snRNP in pre-mRNA splicing, the telomerase complex in telomeres replication, and mRNP SECIS in selenoproteins translation. Like most eukaryotic RNPs, assembly in functional entities is not an autonomous process and requires the intervention of specialized factors. Basing our study on the assembly of C/D snoRNP in the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and using approaches of molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics, we undertook to decipher these mechanisms. Our work has helped to identify a set of proteins, acting in a coordinated manner within a machinery conserved between yeast and human. This machinery consists of two major subunits: (i) Rsa1p/NUFIP, a platform protein that interacts with some proteins of the L7Ae family and facilitates the RNPs assembly, (ii) the R2TP complex (Rvb1p/TIP49, Rvb2p/TIP48, Pih1p/PIH1, Tah1p/SPAGH), which could induce conformational remodeling necessary for the formation of mature RNPs. In addition to these key players, other factors appeared closely linked to this mechanism. The Hit1p/TRIP3 protein interacts with Rsa1p/NUFIP and is required to ensure its stability in yeast. HSP90 chaperone, whose role is predominant in human, operates on some components of the RNPs. Finally, the Bcd1p/BCD1 protein is associated specifically with this machinery during C/D snoRNPs assembly

Texto completoThe protein Bcd1 is a nuclear factor essential for the cellular viability of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is described as required to ensure box C/D snoRNA stability. These small non-coding RNAs associate with an invariable set of 4 proteins to form the box C/D snoRNPs that are crucial players in ribosome biogenesis. Indeed, some of these particles participate in mechanisms for the maturation of the ribosomal RNA precursor (prerRNA) and the vast majority of the other particles are catalysts of 2’-O-methylation of riboses. Bcd1p is not present in mature particles, but is one of the assembly factors in addition to the Rsa1p:Hit1p and R2TP (Rvb1p:Rvb2p:Tah1p:Pih1p) sub-complexes. Our analysis of the different Bcd1p fragments has firstly shown that the essential function of Bcd1p relies on its N-terminal region (residues 1 to 96). It comprises a double zinc finger domain from the zf-HIT family, also present in another box C/D snoRNP assembly factor, the protein Hit1. We solved the 3D solution structure of these two zinc fingers and showed that these are modules for the interaction of Bcd1p with the Rvb1/2 proteins. Secondly, we identified the C-terminal region (residues 120 to 303) of Bcd1p as being sufficient to interact with the histone chaperone Rtt106p. The 3D solution structure of this domain of Bcd1p was determined by NMR. Different approaches of hydrogen/deuterium kinetic exchange and cross-link experiments followed by mass spectrometry analysis, NMR titration, and SAXS allowed us to obtain information about the interaction surfaces on each of the two proteins. A fragment defined from NMR data on the free Bcd1p allowed us to obtain crystals of the Bcd1p:Rtt106p complex, opening the perspective to solve its 3D structure by X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, functional studies started in order to determine the importance of this complex formation in box C/D snoRNP biogenesis and the impact of Bcd1p on the interaction of Rtt106p with nucleosomes
