The volumetric productivity of the beer fermentation process can be increased by using a higher pitching rate (i.e. higher
inoculum size). However, the impact of the pitching rate on crucial fermentation and beer quality parameters has never been
assessed systematically. In this study, five pitching rates were applied to lab-scale fermentations to investigate its impact
on the yeast physiology and beer quality. The fermentation rate increased significantly and the net yeast growth was lowered
with increasing pitching rate, without affecting significantly the viability and the vitality of the yeast population. The
build-up of unsaturated fatty acids in the initial phase of the fermentation was repressed when higher yeast concentrations
were pitched. The expression levels of the genes HSP104 and HSP12 and the concentration of trehalose were higher with increased pitching rates, suggesting a moderate exposure to stress in
case of higher cell concentrations. The influence of pitching rate on aroma compound production was rather limited, with the
exception of total diacetyl levels, which strongly increased with the pitching rate. These results demonstrate that most aspects
of the yeast physiology and flavour balance are not significantly or negatively affected when the pitching rate is changed.
However, further research is needed to fully optimise the conditions for brewing beer with high cell density populations. 相似文献

The volumetric productivity of the beer fermentation process can be increased by using a higher pitching rate (i.e., higher
inoculum size). However, the decreased yeast net growth observed in these high cell density fermentations can have a negative
impact on the physiological stability throughout subsequent yeast generations. The use of different oxygen conditions (wort
aeration, wort oxygenation, yeast preoxygenation) was investigated to improve the growth yield during high cell density fermentations
and yeast metabolic and physiological parameters were assessed systematically. Together with a higher extent of growth (dependent
on the applied oxygen conditions), the fermentation power and the formation of unsaturated fatty acids were also affected.
Wort oxygenation had a significant decreasing effect on the formation of esters, which was caused by a decreased expression
of the alcohol acetyl transferase gene ATF1, compared with the other conditions. Lower glycogen and trehalose levels at the end of fermentation were observed in case
of the high cell density fermentations with oxygenated wort and the reference fermentation. The expression levels of BAP2 (encoding the branched chain amino acid permease), ERG1 (encoding squalene epoxidase), and the stress responsive gene HSP12 were predominantly influenced by the high cell concentrations, while OLE1 (encoding the fatty acid desaturase) and the oxidative stress responsive genes SOD1 and CTT1 were mainly affected by the oxygen availability per cell. These results demonstrate that optimisation of high cell density
fermentations could be achieved by improving the oxygen conditions, without drastically affecting the physiological condition
of the yeast and beer quality. 相似文献

The volumetric productivity of the beer fermentation process can be increased by using a higher pitching rate (i.e. higher inoculum size). However, the decreased yeast net growth observed in these high cell density brewery fermentations can adversely affect the physiological stability throughout subsequent yeast generations. Therefore, different O 2 conditions (wort aeration and yeast preoxygenation) were applied to high cell density fermentation and eight generations of fermentations were evaluated together with conventional fermentations. Freshly propagated high cell density populations adapted faster to the fermentative conditions than normal cell density populations. Preoxygenating the yeast was essential for the yeast physiological and beer flavor compound stability of high cell density fermentations during serial repitching. In contrast, the use of non-preoxygenated yeast resulted in inadequate growth which caused (1) insufficient yield of biomass to repitch all eight generations, (2) a 10% decrease in viability, (3) a moderate increase of yeast age, (4) and a dramatic increase of the unwanted flavor compounds acetaldehyde and total diacetyl during the sequence of fermentations. Therefore, to achieve sustainable high cell density fermentations throughout the economical valuable process of serial repitching, adequate yeast growth is essential. 相似文献

The net effect of increased wort osmolarity on fermentation time, bottom yeast vitality and sedimentation, beer flavor compounds,
and haze was determined in fermentations with 12° all-malt wort supplemented with sorbitol to reach osmolarity equal to 16°
and 20°. Three pitchings were performed in 12°/12°/12°, 16°/16°/12°, and 20°/20°/12° worts. Fermentations in 16° and 20° worts
decreased yeast vitality measured as acidification power (AP) by a maximum of 10%, lowered yeast proliferation, and increased
fermentation time. Repitching aggravated these effects. The 3rd “back to normal” pitching into 12° wort restored the yeast
AP and reproductive abilities while the extended fermentation time remained. Yeast sedimentation in 16° and 20° worts was
delayed but increased about two times at fermentation end relative to that in 12° wort. Third “back-to-normal” pitching abolished
the delay in sedimentation and reduced its extent, which became nearly equal in all variants. Beer brewed at increased osmolarity
was characterized by increased levels of diacetyl and pentanedione and lower levels of dimethylsulfide and acetaldehyde. Esters
and higher alcohols displayed small variations irrespective of wort osmolarity or repitching. Increased wort osmolarity had
no appreciable effect on the haze of green beer and accelerated beer clarification during maturation. In all variants, chill
haze increased with repitching. 相似文献

During fermentation, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces a broad range of aroma-active substances, which are vital for the complex flavour of beer. In order to obtain insight
into the influence of high-gravity brewing and fermentation temperature on flavour formation, we analysed flavour production
and the expression level of ten genes ( ADH1, BAP2, BAT1, BAT2, ILV5, ATF1, ATF2, IAH1, EHT1 and EEB1) during fermentation of a lager and an ale yeast. Higher initial wort gravity increased acetate ester production, while the
influence of higher fermentation temperature on aroma compound production was rather limited. In addition, there is a good
correlation between flavour production and the expression level of specific genes involved in the biosynthesis of aroma compounds.
We conclude that yeasts with desired amounts of esters and higher alcohols, in accordance with specific consumer preferences,
may be identified based on the expression level of flavour biosynthesis genes. Moreover, these results demonstrate that the
initial wort density can determine the final concentration of important volatile aroma compounds, thereby allowing beneficial
adaptation of the flavour of beer. 相似文献

A sample of indigenous beer, boza was collected at Cairo, Egypt and analysed. Boza was an off-white porridge-like slurry containing 3.8% (v/v) ethanol. Volatile esters and higher alcohols such as ethyl acetate and isoamyl alcohol were detected in the boza by gas chromatography. The pH of the boza was 3.7. Organoleptically, this alcoholic beverage had an estery flavour and a sour taste. A fermentable yeast strain EG1 was isolated from the material wheat bread and identified, and was considered to resemble Candida krusei. The rice sake made with the yeast strain C. krusei EG1 at 30 °C contained 11.7% ethanol, 74.1 mg/l ethyl acetate and its pH value was 4.2. 相似文献

Three yeast strains were isolated from a spontaneously fermented native millet ( Pennisetum typhoideum) malt beer (Oyokpo). One of the yeast isolates found to have the most highly fermenting capacity was characterised and identified as a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The yeast was then utilised as the pitching yeast in a subsequent controlled fermentation of millet wort at 20°C for 120 hours. Bitter leaf ( Vernonia amagdalina) extract was used as the bittering and flavouring agent. The Oyokpo beer sample produced under these conditions was found to possess both chemical and organoleptic qualities comparable to some extent, to the conventional barley malt beer. At the end of fermentation, the pH, specific gravity, alcohol content, reducing sugar content and protein content of the beer were 4.11, 1.0308, 2.81% (v/v), 4.00 (mg/ml) and 0.84 (mg/ml) respectively. 相似文献

The use of unconventional yeast species in human-driven fermentations has attracted a lot of attention in the last few years. This tool allows the alcoholic beverage industries to solve problems related to climate change or the consumer demand for newer high-quality products. In this sense, one of the most attractive species is Saccharomyces kudriavzevii, which shows interesting fermentative traits such as the increased and diverse aroma compound production in wines. Specifically, it has been observed that different isolates of this species can produce higher amounts of higher alcohols such as phenylethanol compared with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this work, we have shed light on this feature relating it to the S. kudriavzevii aromatic amino acid anabolic pathway in which the enzyme Aro4p plays an essential role. Unexpectedly, we observed that the presence of the S. kudriavzevii ARO4 variant reduces phenylethanol production compared with the S. cerevisiae ARO4 allele. Our experiments suggest that this can be explained by increased feedback inhibition, which might be a consequence of the changes detected in the Aro4p amino end such as L 26Q 24 that have been under positive selection in the S. kudriavzevii specie. 相似文献

PurposeHigher alcohol is a by-product of the fermentation of wine, and its content is one of the most important parameters that affect and are used to appraise the final quality of Chinese rice wine. Ammonium compensation is an efficient and convenient method to reduce the content of higher alcohols, but the molecule mechanism is poorly understood. Therefore, an iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis was designed to reveal the proteomic changes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to elucidate the molecular mechanism of ammonium compensation in reducing the content of higher alcohols. MethodsThe iTRAQ proteomic analysis method was used to analyze a blank group and an experimental group with an exogenous addition of 200 mg/L (NH4)2HPO4 during inoculation. The extracted intracellular proteins were processed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and identified using bioinformatics tools. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to verify the gene expression of differentially expressed proteins. ResultsAbout 4062 proteins, including 123 upregulated and 88 downregulated proteins, were identified by iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis. GO and KEGG analysis uncovered that significant proteins were concentrated during carbohydrate metabolism, such as carbon metabolism, glyoxylate, and dicarboxylate metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, and the nitrogen metabolism, such as amino acid synthesis and catabolism pathway. In accordance with the trend of differential protein regulation in the central carbon metabolism pathway and the analysis of carbon metabolic flux, a possible regulatory model was proposed and verified, in which ammonium compensation facilitated glucose consumption, regulated metabolic flow direction into tricarboxylic acid, and further led to a decrease in higher alcohols. The results of RT-qPCR confirmed the authenticity of the proteomic analysis results at the level of gene. ConclusionAmmonium assimilation promoted by ammonium compensation regulated the intracellular carbon metabolism of S. cerevisiae and affected the distribution of metabolic flux. The carbon flow that should have gone to the synthesis pathway of higher alcohols was reversed to the TCA cycle, thereby decreasing the content of higher alcohols. These findings may contribute to an improved understanding of the molecular mechanism for the decrease in higher alcohol content through ammonium compensation. 相似文献

We have found that in the alcoholic fermentation of amino acids by yeast isobutyl alcohol is produced from alanine and n-propyl and active amyl alcohols are formed from α-amino- n-butyric acid or threonine contrary to the F. Ehrlich’s scheme. These results suggest the close relationship among the formation of these higher alcohols and biosynthesis of valine from alanine and biosynthesis of isoleucine from α-amino- n-butyric acid or threonine.In this report, we studied the formation of n-propyl alcohol and active amyl alcohol from α-amino- n-butyric acid using washed yeast cells. 相似文献

Determination of protease A activity during alcoholic fermentation of a synthetic must (pH 3.5 at 25°C) and during autolysis
showed that a sixfold induction of protease A activity occurred after sugar exhaustion, well before 100% cell death occurred.
A decrease in protease A activity was observed when yeast cell autolysis started. Extracellular protease A activity was detected
late in the autolysis process, which suggests that protease A is not easily released. Evolution of amino acids and peptides
was determined during alcoholic fermentation and during autolysis. Amino acids were released in early stationary phase. These
amino acids were subsequently assimilated during the fermentation. The same pattern was observed for peptides; this has never
been reported previously. During autolysis, the concentration of amino acids and peptides increased to reach a maximum of
20 and 40 mg N l −1, respectively. This study supports the idea that although protease A activity seemed to be responsible for peptides release,
there is no clear correlation among protease A activity, cell death, and autolysis. The amino acid composition of the peptides
showed some variations between peptides released during alcoholic fermentation and during autolysis. Depending on aging time
on yeast lees, the nature of the peptides present in the medium changed, which could lead to different organoleptic properties.

A high cell density strategy has been used in bioethanol production to shorten the fermentation period. To reveal the molecular
basis of fermentative behavior in high cell density, the profiling of the phospholipids and sterols of Saccharomyces cerevisiae during fermentation at five different pitching rates (1, 5, 10, 20, and 40 g/L) was investigated. Using LC/ESI/MS n technology, 148 phospholipid species were detected, of which 91 species were quantified, and using the gas chromatography–time-of-flight
mass spectrometry procedure, a total of 11 sterols were quantified. Phospholipid samples from different pitching rates were
discriminated into three groups using principal component analysis (1, 5 g/L, and the others). The main changes in the lipid
profile of yeast cells with higher pitching rates were as follows: (a) the relative contents of phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylserine
were higher while phosphatidylinositol was lower compared with lower pitching rates, (b) the saturated and the relatively
shorter fatty acyl chains of phospholipids decreased, and (c) the content of ergosterol was higher. These findings suggested
a regulation of the property of the membrane at the situation of high cell density and a possible approach of self-protection
of the yeast cells against the high density stresses. 相似文献

We have found that some straight-chained α-amino acids are converted by yeast to the alcohols with correspondingly longer carbon chains in the alcoholic fermentation contrary to F. Ehrlich’s scheme, i.e., isobutyl alcohol from alanine and active amyl alcohol from α-amino- n-butyric acid or threonine.In this report, we confirmed this fact in the alcoholic fermentation of many aliphatic amino acids by 2 yeast strains using gas chromatography. Moreover, n-propyl alcohol was proved to come from α-amino- n-butyric acid or threonine. Small quantities of n-propyl, isobutyl, active amyl and isoamyl alcohols were found in all the fermented solutions. There was some difference in the composition of higher alcohols of the alcoholic solutions fermented by different yeasts. 相似文献

The role of saprophytic phyllosphere yeasts in removing aphid honeydew and other nutrients from wheat leaves was evaluated in growth cabinet experiments at different temperatures and relative humidities. Population densities of both pink and white yeasts ( Sporobolomyces roseus and Cryptococcus laurentii, respectively) increased between 12 and 24°C, if nutrients were supplied. White yeast numbers increased rapidly at a constant vapor pressure deficit (VPD) of 0.10 kPa and alternating VPDs of 0.10 and 0.61 kPa (each 12 hours per day) but decreased at a constant VPD of 0.61 kPa. In growth cabinet experiments with aphids on wheat plants, the amount of aphid honeydew on the leaves was lower when yeast population densities were high. Addition of amino acids to leaves with honeydew had no effect on yeast population density or the rate of honeydew consumption. This indicated that low concentrations of amino acids in aphid honeydew are not a limiting factor for honeydew consumption by the yeasts. The naturally occurring saprophytes efficiently removed fructose, sucrose, and melezitose from the phyllosphere of field-grown wheat plants. 相似文献

The ARO8 and ARO9 genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were isolated by complementation of the phenylalanine/tyrosine auxotrophy of an aro8 aro9 double-mutant strain that is defective in aromatic aminotransferases I ( aro8) and II ( aro9). The genes were sequenced, and deletion mutants were constructed and analysed. The expression of ARO8 and ARO9 was studied. The deduced amino acid sequences of Aro8p and Aro9p suggest that the former is a 500-residue, 56168-Da polypeptide
and the latter a 513-residue, 58516-Da polypeptide. They correspond, respectively, to Ygl202p and Yhr137p, two putative proteins
of unknown function revealed by systematic sequencing of the yeast genome. We show that aromatic aminotransferases I and II
are homologous proteins, members of aminotransferase subgroup I, and, together with three other proteins, they constitute
within the subgroup a new subfamily of enzymes specialised for aromatic amino acid and α-aminoadipate transamination. ARO8 expression is subject to the general control of amino acid biosynthesis. ARO9 expression is induced when aromatic amino acids are present in the growth medium and also in aro8 mutants grown on minimal ammonia medium. An autonomously replicating sequence (ARS) element is located between the ARO8 gene and YGL201c which encodes a protein of the minichromosome maintenance family.

Summary Very high gravity wheat mashes containing 300 g or more sugares per liter were prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis of starch and fermented with a commercial preparation of active dry yeast. The active dry yeast used in this study was a blend of several strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The fermentation was carried out at 20°C at different pitching rates (inoculation levels) with and without the addition of yeast extract as nutrient supplement. At a pitching rate of 76 million cells per g of mash an ethanol yield of 20.4% (v/v) was obtained. To achieve this yeast extract must be added to the wheat mash as nutrient supplement. When the pitching rate was raised to 750 million cells per g of mash, the ethanol yield increased to 21.5% (v/v) and no nutrient supplement was required. The efficiency of conversion of sugar to ethanol was 97.6% at the highest pitching rate. This declined slightly with decreasing pitching rate. A high proportion of yeast cells lost viability at high pitching rates. It is suggested that nutrients released from yeast cells that lost viability and lysed, contributed to the high yield of ethanol in the absence of any added nutrients. 相似文献

Summary An anaerobic, free-living spirochete was isolated from mud. The organism can be cultivated in ordinary nutrient media, e.g.
yeast extract-glucose. End products of glucose fermentation are: lactic, acetic, and succinic acids, CO 2, and H 2.
In cultures of this organism spheroid bodies are formed, especially during the stationary growth phase. Studies of slide cultures
showed that these bodies, when inoculated in fresh medium, do not give rise to spiral cells whereas a rapid multiplication
of normal cells, also present in the inoculum, was observed.
Since the organism is serologically related to Treponema pallidum, it has been assigned to the genus Treponema, and is here described as Treponema zuelzerae nov. spec.
