During malolactic fermentation (MLF) in grape must and wine, heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria may degrade arginine, leading to the formation of ammonia and citrulline, among other substances. This is of concern because ammonia increases the pH and thus the risk of growth by spoilage bacteria, and citrulline is a precursor to the formation of carcinogenic ethyl carbamate (EC). Arginine metabolism and growth of Lactobacillus buchneri CUC-3 and Oenococcus oeni strains MCW and Lo111 in wine were investigated. In contrast to L. buchneri CUC-3, both oenococci required a higher minimum pH for arginine degradation, and arginine utilization was delayed relative to the degradation of malic acid, the main aim of MLF. This allows the control of pH increase and citrulline formation from arginine metabolism by carrying out MLF with pure oenococcal cultures and inhibiting cell metabolism after malic acid depletion. MLF by arginine-degrading lactobacilli should be discouraged because arginine degradation may lead to the enhanced formation of acids from sugar degradation. A linear relationship was found between arginine degradation and citrulline excretion rates. From this data, strain-specific arginine-to-citrulline conversion ratios were calculated that ranged between 2.2 and 3.9% (wt/wt), and these ratios can be used to estimate the contribution of citrulline to the EC precursor pool from a given amount of initial arginine. Increasing arginine concentrations led to higher rates of growth of L. buchneri CUC-3 but did not increase the growth yield of either oenococcus. These results suggest the use of non-arginine-degrading oenococci for inducing MLF.  相似文献

The wine lactic acid bacteria Leuconostoc oenos OENO and Lactobacillus buchneri CUC-3 catabolize L-arginine to ornithine and ammonia as major end-products, with 1 mole of arginine converted into 2 moles of ammonia and 1 mole of ornithine. Some citrulline was also excreted into the medium. The excreted citrulline was reassimilated and catabolized by the lactobacillus strain, though not by the leuconostoc. Urea was not detected during arginine degradation. The activities of all three enzymes of the arginine deiminase pathway (arginine deiminase, ornithine transcarbamylase and carbamate kinase) increased significantly over time in the presence of arginine. On the other hand, arginase and urease activities were undetectable in cell extracts of cultures grown in the presence of arginine. The results show that the arginine deiminase pathway, and not the arginase-urease pathway, is the route for arginine degradation in wine lactic acid bacteria.  相似文献

Arginine metabolism by wine lactic acid bacteria (LAB) may lead to wine quality degradation. While arginine is essential for growth of the wine relevant LAB Oenococcus oeni , it remains unclear whether it also stimulates its growth. This study evaluated the effect of arginine and citrulline, the partially metabolized intermediate of the arginine deiminase pathway, on the growth of two commercial O. oeni strains in comparison with a Lactobacillus buchneri strain in wine and at wine pH values. Neither arginine nor citrulline increased growth of both O. oeni strains in comparison with the L. buchneri strain. However, arginine and citrulline were partially degraded in all incubations. The extent of citrulline degradation correlated with lower pH values in oenococcal cultivations but with higher pH values in those of the L. buchneri strain. The degradation kinetics of O. oeni and L. buchneri for malic acid and arginine differed and the latter grew in sterile filtered post-malolactic fermentation wine. This study shows that arginine and citrulline did not stimulate growth of the two O. oeni strains studied, and that their physiological role differed among the wine LAB considered. While arginine may play a role in wine microbiological stability, other nutrients should be investigated for their suitability to create a selective ecological advantage for O. oeni strains in wine.  相似文献

Wine can contain trace amounts of ethyl carbamate (EC), a carcinogen formed when ethanol reacts with carbamyl compounds such as citrulline. EC is produced from arginine by lactic acid bacteria (LAB), e.g., Lactobacillus and Pediococcus. Although the amounts of EC in wine are usually negligible, over the last few years there has been a slight but steady increase, as climate change has increased temperatures and alcohol levels have become proportionately higher, both of which favor EC formation. In this study, resting cells of LAB were used to evaluate the effects of ethanol, glucose, malic acid, and low pH on the ability of non-oenococcal strains of these bacteria to degrade arginine and excrete citrulline. Malic acid was found to clearly inhibit arginine consumption in all strains. The relation between citrulline produced and arginine consumed was clearly higher in the presence of ethanol (10-12%) and at low pH (3.0), which is consistent with both the decreased amount of ornithine produced from arginine and the reduction in arginine degradation. In L. brevis and L. buchneri strains isolated from wine and beer, respectively, the synthesis of citrulline from arginine was highest.  相似文献

AIMS: To study arginine degradation and carcinogenic ethyl carbamate precursor citrulline formation during and after malolactic fermentation (MLF). METHODS AND RESULTS: MLF was induced in white wine with two commercial Oenococcus oeni strains under different winemaking conditions regarding the type of alcoholic fermentation (spontaneous, induced) and the lees management (racked, on lees). Arginine degradation and citrulline formation did not occur during malic acid degradation in any treatment. In five of the six treatments in which arginine degradation took place, it occurred 3 weeks after malic acid depletion and significant amounts of citrulline were formed. Presence of yeast lees in wines led to increased citrulline formation. Conclusions: This study suggests that arginine metabolism is inhibited in oenococci at low pH values (< 3.5) and that in the postalcoholic fermentation phase, citrulline formation from arginine degradation can be avoided if MLF is induced by pure cultures of O. oeni with inhibition of the bacterial biomass after malic acid depletion. Residual yeast lees in the wine have been identified as a significant risk factor for increased citrulline formation. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Conclusions drawn from this study allow reducing the risk of carcinogenic ethyl carbamate formation from citrulline excretion by wine lactic acid bacteria.  相似文献

Major commercially available strains for induction of malolactic fermentation in wine were examined for arginine metabolism in a resting cell system at wine pH with the aim of evaluating their ability to excrete and utilize citrulline, a precursor of carcinogenic ethyl carbamate (urethane). All strains tested excreted citrulline from arginine degradation. Citrulline was stored intracellularly during growth in arginine rich medium and was released upon lysis of the cells. All strains were found to degrade citrulline as a sole amino acid and some of them were able to reutilize previously excreted citrulline.  相似文献

This article begins with an introduction to malolactic fermentation in wine, followed by a review of the occurrence of arginine degradation in wine lactic acid bacteria and the pathway of arginine catabolism, the distribution of enzymes responsible, and the formation of products. The bioenergetics of wine lactic acid bacteria and arginine degradation are then reviewed. This is followed by a review of the possible mechanisms of arginine transport, and regulation of arginine metabolism and synthesis of the enzymes for arginine catabolism. Finally, the practical significance of arginine metabolism in wine lactic acid bacteria is reviewed with respect to taxonomic utility, biological significance and oenological implications.  相似文献

AIMS: The aim of this paper was to study if homofermentative strains (Lacobacillus plantarum) capable of malolactic fermentation in wine can degrade arginine via the ADI pathway. METHODS AND RESULTS: Homofermentative lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from a typical red wine were investigated for their ability to produce citrulline. Citrulline was formed suggesting that the arginine metabolism takes place via the arginine deiminase (ADI) pathway and not via the arginase/urease pathway. Ammonia was also detected with Nessler's reagent, and all the strains examined were able to produce ammonia. Identification of homofermentative LAB was performed using 16S ribosomal sequence analysis. The strains were further classified as belonging to L. plantarum species. Furthermore, the genes encoding for the three pathway enzymes (ADI, ornithine transcarbamylase, carbamate kinase) were partially cloned and gene expression was performed at two different pH values (3.6 and 4.5). CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that citrulline production in wine, could be performed by homofermentative LAB. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Homofermentative malolactic bacteria (L. plantarum) may degrade arginine through the ADI pathway.  相似文献

Summary Screening of strains isolated from red wine undergoing malolactic fermentation allowed the identification of lactic acid bacteria able to degrade arginine. A denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis approach, using the rpoB gene as the molecular target, was developed in order to characterize the isolated strains. Several strains were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum and were typed by RAPD-PCR with several randomly designed primers. Almost all of the␣L. plantarum strains identified were able to produce citrulline and ammonia, suggesting that the ability of␣L.␣plantarum to degrade arginine is a common feature in wine. During the characterization of the newly identified L.␣plantarum strains, the presence of genes coding for the arginine deiminase (ADI) pathway was observed in the strains able to produce citrulline, while the lack of this genes was observed in strain unable to produce citrulline. These results suggest that the degradation of arginine in L. plantarum is probably strain-dependent.  相似文献

l-Arginine, an amino acid found in significant quantities in grape juice and wine, is known to be catabolized by some wine lactic acid bacteria. The correlation between the occurrence of arginine deiminase pathway enzymes and the ability to catabolize arginine was examined in this study. The activities of the three arginine deiminase pathway enzymes, arginine deiminase, ornithine transcarbamylase, and carbamate kinase, were measured in cell extracts of 35 strains of wine lactic acid bacteria. These enzymes were present in all heterofermentative lactobacilli and most leuconostocs but were absent in all the homofermentative lactobacilli and pediococci examined. There was a good correlation among arginine degradation, formation of ammonia and citrulline, and the occurrence of arginine deiminase pathway enzymes. Urea was not detected during arginine degradation, suggesting that the catabolism of arginine did not proceed via the arginase-catalyzed reaction, as has been suggested in some earlier studies. Detection of ammonia with Nessler's reagent was shown to be a simple, rapid test to assess the ability of wine lactic acid bacteria to degrade arginine, although in media containing relatively high concentrations (>0.5%) of fructose, ammonia formation is inhibited.  相似文献

Inoculating grape musts with wine yeast and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) concurrently in order to induce simultaneous alcoholic fermentation (AF) and malolactic fermentation (MLF) can be an efficient alternative to overcome potential inhibition of LAB in wines because of high ethanol concentrations and reduced nutrient content. In this study, the simultaneous inoculation of yeast and LAB into must was compared with a traditional vinification protocol, where MLF was induced after completion of AF. For this, two suitable commercial yeast-bacterium combinations were tested in cool-climate Chardonnay must. The time courses of glucose and fructose, acetaldehyde, several organic acids, and nitrogenous compounds were measured along with the final values of other key wine parameters. Sensory evaluation was done after 12 months of storage. The current study could not confirm a negative impact of simultaneous AF/MLF on fermentation success and kinetics or on final wine parameters. While acetic acid concentrations were slightly increased in wines after simultaneous AF/MLF, the differences were of neither practical nor legal significance. No statistically significant differences were found with regard to the final values of pH or total acidity and the concentrations of ethanol, acetaldehyde, glycerol, citric and lactic acids, and the nitrogen compounds arginine, ammonia, urea, citrulline, and ornithine. Sensory evaluation by a semiexpert panel confirmed the similarity of the wines. However, simultaneous inoculation led to considerable reductions in overall fermentation durations. Furthermore, differences of physiological and microbiological relevance were found. Specifically, we report the vinification of "super-dry" wines devoid of glucose and fructose after simultaneous inoculation of yeast and bacteria.  相似文献

The genes implicated in the catabolism of the amino acid arginine by Lactobacillus hilgardii X(1)B were investigated to assess the potential for formation of ethyl carbamate precursors in wine. L. hilgardii X(1)B can use arginine via the arginine deiminase pathway. The complete nucleotide sequence of the arc genes involved in this pathway has been determined. They are clustered in an operon-like structure in the order arcABC. No evidence was found for the presence of a homologue of the arcD gene, coding for the arginine/ornithine antiporter. The arc genes have been expressed in Escherichia coli resulting in arginine deiminase (ArcA), ornithine carbamoyltransfera (ArcB) and carbamate kinase (ArcC) activities. The results indicate the need for caution in the selection of lactic acid bacteria for conducting malolactic fermentation in wine since arginine degradation could result in high amounts of ethyl carbamate.  相似文献

AIMS: To study the population dynamics of indigenous malolactic bacteria in a Greek winery and to examine their potential to produce detrimental levels of biogenic amines (BA) under winemaking conditions. METHODS AND RESULTS: Although the wines studied were of different vintage, grape variety and enological characteristics, molecular typing of malolactic bacteria revealed only a low number of strains within the single-species populations of Oenococcus oeni that developed during spontaneous fermentations. Strain MF1, originating primarily from the vineyards surrounding the winery invariably predominated in almost all samples. HPLC analysis showed a slight increase in the BA, putrescine, tyramine and phenylethylamine after malolactic conversion, while histamine, methylamine and ethylamine remained unaffected. No correlation could be established between the BA profiles and the bacterial compositions or the amino acid concentrations in wine samples studied. CONCLUSIONS: A certain regional bacterial flora is established in the winery that prevails in spontaneous malolactic fermentations (MLF) irrespective of the wine characteristics. In all cases, the BA content of the wines after malolactic conversion was within enologically acceptable levels. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This is the first report on the malolactic bacteria occurring naturally in spontaneous MLF in Greek red wines and a preliminary assessment of their impact on wine safety in relation to BA.  相似文献

We have previously shown that deficient arginine intake increased the rate of endogenous arginine synthesis from proline. In this paper, we report in vivo quantification of the effects of arginine intake on total endogenous arginine synthesis, on the rates of conversion between arginine, citrulline, ornithine, and proline, and on nitric oxide synthesis. Male piglets, with gastric catheters for diet and isotope infusion and femoral vein catheters for blood sampling, received a complete diet for 2 days and then either a generous (+Arg; 1.80 g x kg(-1) x day(-1); n = 5) or deficient (-Arg; 0.20 g.kg(-1).day(-1); n = 5) arginine diet for 5 days. On day 7, piglets received a primed, constant infusion of [guanido-(15)N(2)]arginine, [ureido-(13)C;5,5-(2)H(2)]citrulline, [U-(13)C(5)]ornithine, and [(15)N;U-(13)C(5)]proline in an integrated study of the metabolism of arginine and its precursors. Arginine synthesis (micromol x kg(-1) x h(-1)) from both proline (+Arg: 42, -Arg: 74, pooled SE: 5) and citrulline (+Arg: 67, -Arg: 120; pooled SE: 15) were higher in piglets receiving the -Arg diet (P < 0.05); and for both diets proline accounted for approximately 60% of total endogenous arginine synthesis. The conversion of proline to citrulline (+Arg: 39, -Arg: 67, pooled SE: 6) was similar to the proline-to-arginine conversion, confirming that citrulline formation limits arginine synthesis from proline in piglets. Nitric oxide synthesis (micromol x kg(-1) x h(-1)), measured by the rate conversion of [guanido-(15)N(2)]arginine to [ureido-(15)N]citrulline, was greater in piglets receiving the +Arg diet (105) than in those receiving the -Arg diet (46, pooled SE: 10; P < 0.05). This multi-isotope method successfully allowed many aspects of arginine metabolism to be quantified simultaneously in vivo.  相似文献

AIMS: Acetaldehyde is the major carbonyl compound formed during winemaking and has implications for sensory and colour qualities of wines as well as for the use of the wine preservative SO(2). The current work investigated the degradation of acetaldehyde and SO(2)-bound acetaldehyde by two commercial Oenococcus oeni starters in white wine. METHODS AND RESULTS: Wines were produced by alcoholic fermentation with commercial yeast and adjusted to pH 3.3 and 3.6. While acetaldehyde was degraded rapidly and concurrently with malic acid at both pH values, SO(2)-bound acetaldehyde caused sluggish bacterial growth. Strain differences were small. CONCLUSIONS: Efficient degradation of acetaldehyde can be achieved by commercial starters of O. oeni. According to the results, the degradation of acetaldehyde could not be separated from malolactic conversion by oenococci. While this may be desirable in white winemaking, it may be necessary to delay malolactic fermentation (MLF) in order to allow for colour development in red wines. SO(2)-bound acetaldehyde itself maybe responsible for the sluggish or stuck MLF, and thus bound SO(2) should be considered next to free SO(2) in order to evaluate malolactic fermentability. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The current study provides new results regarding the metabolism of acetaldehyde and SO(2)-bound acetaldehyde during the MLF in white wine. The information is of significance to the wine industry and may contribute to reducing the concentration of wine preservative SO(2).  相似文献

Oenococcus oeni is the main lactic acid bacteria species which induces malolactic fermentation during wine-making. It is able to break down arginine via the arginine deiminase pathway, a potential source of energy already considered for many bacteria. The production of ATP by starved cells from arginine was quantified with a bioluminescence assay, and efficient coupling of amino acid catabolism and cell growth was monitored. Therefore, molecular growth yield was determined after glucose exhaustion. With colony plate counting and a direct epifluorescence technique, it was shown that addition of arginine to viable but non-culturable cells obtained after nutrient starvation restored their ability to grow during its degradation. Therefore, arginine produced more than maintenance energy. It is concluded that strains which are able to metabolize arginine might take advantage of this additional energy source for growth.  相似文献

The polypeptide nisin (100 U/ml) prevented malolactic fermentation in wines by indigenous or intentionally added lactic acid bacteria. Nisin (100 U/ml)-resistant mutants of Leuconostoc oenos were obtained and used with nisin in wine to carry out a pure-culture malolactic fermentation in the presence or absence of other lactic acid bacteria. Nisin degradation by mutants was not observed, and residual nisin was detectable in wines 4 months after it was added. Results indicated that nisin or nisin with resistant bacterial starter cultures can be used to control malolactic fermentation in wines.  相似文献
