Abstract
Hanseniaspora uvarum is a predominant yeast species in vineyards and some strains demonstrate oenological potential by enhancing the aroma complexity and reducing the content of volatile acid and ethanol in wine. H. uvarum kept in our lab could improve the flavor and quality of wine when co-fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but its growth was inhibited by S. cerevisiae. To investigate the interaction mechanisms of S. cerevisiae and H. uvarum, double-compartment fermentor with dialysis tube of 1000 kDa MWCO was selected for separated co-fermentation (SCF) in synthetic grape juice at 25℃ without agitation. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from S. cerevisiae and H. uvarum from SCF were analyzed using RNA-seq. H. uvarum exhibited a greater number of DEGs at both T1 (201) and T2 (444) compared to S. cerevisiae (T1: 158, T2: 294). Genes related to antioxidant and damage repair systems and glucose transportation and metabolism in S. cerevisiae were up-regulated at T1 and T2. Genes related to flocculation were up-regulated at T2. In contrast, H. uvarum from SCF down-regulated genes related to these pathways and up-regulated genes related to amino acid transportation and sulfate assimilation. These genes and pathway might potentially contribute to the interaction between S. cerevisiae and H. uvarum. Research results will provide a theoretical basis for yeast interaction mechanisms and research on other microbial interactions.
期刊介绍:
World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology publishes research papers and review articles on all aspects of Microbiology and Microbial Biotechnology.
Since its foundation, the Journal has provided a forum for research work directed toward finding microbiological and biotechnological solutions to global problems. As many of these problems, including crop productivity, public health and waste management, have major impacts in the developing world, the Journal especially reports on advances for and from developing regions.
Some topics are not within the scope of the Journal. Please do not submit your manuscript if it falls into one of the following categories:
· Virology
· Simple isolation of microbes from local sources
· Simple descriptions of an environment or reports on a procedure
· Veterinary, agricultural and clinical topics in which the main focus is not on a microorganism
· Data reporting on host response to microbes
· Optimization of a procedure
· Description of the biological effects of not fully identified compounds or undefined extracts of natural origin
· Data on not fully purified enzymes or procedures in which they are applied
All articles published in the Journal are independently refereed.
