Insights into the bacterial community and its temporal succession during the fermentation of wine grapes.

ABSTRACT: Grapes harbor complex microbial communities. It is well known that yeasts, typically Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and bacteria, commonly the lactic acid fermenting Oenococcus oeni, work sequentially during primary and secondary wine fermentation. In addition to these main players, several microbes, often with undesirable effects on wine quality, have been found in grapes and during wine fermentation. However, still little is known about the dynamics of the microbial community during the fermentation process. In previous studies culture dependent methods were applied to detect and identify microbial organisms associated with grapes and grape products, which resulted in a picture that neglected the non-culturable fraction of the microbes. To obtain a more complete picture of how microbial communities change during grape fermentation and how different fermentation techniques might affect the microbial community composition, we employed next-generation sequencing (NGS)-a culture-independent method. A better understanding of the microbial dynamics and their effect on the final product is of great importance to help winemakers produce wine styles of consistent and high quality. In this study, we focused on the bacterial community dynamics during wine vinification by amplifying and sequencing the hypervariable V1-V3 region of the 16S rRNA gene-a phylogenetic marker gene that is ubiquitous within prokaryotes. Bacterial communities and their temporal succession was observed for communities associated with organically and conventionally produced wines. In addition, we analyzed the chemical characteristics of the grape musts during the organic and conventional fermentation process. These analyses revealed distinct bacterial population with specific temporal changes as well as different chemical profiles for the organically and conventionally produced wines. In summary these results suggest a possible correlation between the temporal succession of the bacterial population and the chemical wine profiles.

Project description:Flat peaches possess characteristic flavors and are rich in nutrients. The fermentation of flat peaches to produce wine through complex biochemical reactions is an effective method to overcome their seasonal defects. Spontaneously fermented flat peach wine has plentiful and strong flavors, but the microbiota of fermentation are still unknown. In this study, the microbial succession and volatile compound dynamics of spontaneous fermentation in Xinjiang flat peach wine were investigated using high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technology, respectively, to better understand the microbiota involved. Multivariate data analysis was used to predict the relationship between microorganisms and volatile chemicals. The results showed that Kazachstania, Pichia, Aspergillus, Fructobacillus, Leuconostoc, and Lactobacillus were the dominant genera during the spontaneous fermentation of flat peach wine. Furthermore, ethyl hexanoate, 3-hexen-1-yl acetate, ethyl caprate, ethyl caprylate, phenethyl acetate, ethanol, γ-decalactone, decanal, 1-hexanoic acid, and octanoic acid endued flat peach wine with a strong fruity and fatty aroma. The core functional microbiota (primarily consisting of 11 bacterial and 14 fungal taxa) was strongly associated with the production of 27 volatile compounds in the spontaneously fermented flat peach wine, according to multivariate data analysis. Some alcohols and esters were positively linked with the presence of Kazachstania and Pichia. Meanwhile, the presence of Fructobacillus, Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus, and Weissella was significantly correlated with 2-non-anol, ethanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, octyl formate, isoamyl lactate, and ethyl lactate. This snapshot of microbial succession and volatile compound dynamics provides insights into the microorganisms involved in flat peach wine fermentation and could guide the production of flat peach wine with desirable characteristics.

Project description:To better understand the ensiling characteristics of sorghum stalk, the dynamic changes of fermentation parameters, nutrient components and bacterial community of sorghum stalk silage were analyzed by intermittently sampling on day 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, and 56 of ensiling duration. The results showed that high-moisture sorghum stalk was well preserved during ensiling fermentation, with the DM loss of 4.10% and the little difference between the nutrients of sorghum stalk before and after ensiling. The pH value of silage declined to its lowest value of 4.32 by Day 7 of ensiling, and other fermentation parameters kept steady since Day 28 of ensiling. The amplicon sequencing analysis revealed that the alpha diversity parameters of silage bacterial community including Shannon index, observed features, Pielou evenness and Faith PD gradually declined (P < 0.01) with ensiling duration. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) revealed that bacterial profiles of raw material would experience a succession becoming a quite different community during ensiling fermentation. Taxonomic classification revealed a total of 10 and 173 bacterial taxa at the phylum and genus level, respectively, as being detected with relative abundances higher than 0.01% and in at least half samples. LEfSe analysis revealed that 26 bacterial taxa were affected by sampling timepoint (P < 0.05 and LDA score > 4). When focusing on the dynamic trend of silage bacterial taxa, lactic acid bacteria successfully dominated in the bacterial community on Day 1 of ensiling, and the bacterial community almost came to a plateau by Day 28 of ensiling, with Lactobacillus and Leuconostoc as the dominant genera. In a word, the succession of fermentation parameters, nutrient components and bacterial community indicate a successful dominance establishment of LAB and a fast advent of fermentation plateau, suggesting that high-moisture sorghum stalk can be ensiled directly, but the pH of mature silage is a little high.

Project description:The use of exogenous functional microorganisms to regulate biogenic amine (BA) content is a common approach in fermentation systems. Here, to better understand the microbial traits of succession trajectories in resource-based and biotic interference systems, the BA-related primary and secondary succession were tracked during industrial semidry Chinese rice wine (CRW) fermentation. Dominant abundance and BA-associated microbial functionality based on phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states (PICRUSt) indicated that Citrobacter, Acinetobacter, Lactobacillus, Exiguobacterium, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Enterobacter spp. prominently contributed to the decarboxylase gene family in CRW. The expression levels of tyrosine decarboxylase (tyrDC), ornithine decarboxylase (odc), and agmatine deiminase (aguA) genes were assessed by quantitative PCR (qPCR). The transcription levels of these genes did not correlate with the BA formation rate during postfermentation, indicating that acidification and carbon source depletion upregulated the expression and microbes launch the dormancy strategy to respond to unfavorable conditions. Furthermore, microbial interference with CRW fermentation by Lactobacillus plantarum (ACBC271) and Staphylococcus xylosus (CGMCC1.8382) coinoculated at a ratio of 1:2 exhibited the best synergetic control of BA content. Spearman correlations revealed that Lactobacillus and Staphylococcus exhibited influence on BA-associated microbiota (|ρ| > 0), Exiguobacterium and Pseudomonas were strongly suppressed by Lactobacillus (ρ = -0.867 and ρ = -0.782, respectively; P < 0.05), and Staphylococcus showed the strongest inhibitory effect toward Lactobacillus (ρ = -0.115) and Citrobacter (ρ = -0.188) in the coinoculated 1:2 group. The high inhibitory effect of exogenous added strains on specific bacteria presented evidence for the obtained BA-associated contributors. Overall, this work provides important insight into the microbial traits that rely on resource usage and functional microbiota within food microbial ecology.IMPORTANCE Understanding the shifting patterns of substance usage and microbial interactions is a fundamental objective within microbiology and ecology. Analyses of primary and secondary microbial succession allow for determinations of taxonomic diversity, community traits, and functional transformations over time or after a disturbance. The kinetics of BA generation and the patterns of resource consumption, functional metagenome prediction, and microbial interactions were profiled to elucidate the equilibrium mechanism of microbial systems. Secondary succession after a disturbance triggers a change in resource usage, which in turn affects primary succession and metabolism. In this study, the functional potential of exogenous microorganisms under disturbance synergized with secondary succession strategies, including rebalancing and dormancy, which ultimately reduced BA accumulation. Thus, this succession system could facilitate the settling of essential issues with respect to microbial traits that rely on resource usage and microbial interactions that occur in natural ecosystems.

Project description:This study aimed to elaborate the assembly processes and metabolic regulation of the microbial community under the conditions of environmental factors and artificial intervention using broad bean paste (BBP) fermentation as a tractable research object. Spatial heterogenicity of amino acid nitrogen, titratable acidity, and volatile metabolites were observed between upper and lower layers after fermentation for 2 weeks. Amino nitrogen contents in the upper fermented mash reached 0.86, 0.93, and 1.06 g/100 g at 2, 4, and 6 weeks, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of mash located at the lower layer (0.61, 0.79, and 0.78 g/100 g). Moreover, higher concentrations of titratable acidity were accumulated in upper layers (2.05, 2.25 and 2.56 g/100g) than those in lower layers, and the differentiation of volatile metabolites was the greatest (R = 0.543) at 36 days, after which the BBP flavor profiles converged with the fermentation progress. The successive heterogenicity of the microbial community in the mid-late stage was also found during fermentation, and Zygosaccharomyces, Staphylococcus, and Bacillus had heterogeneous characteristics driven by sunlight, water activity, and microbial interactions. This study provided new insights into the mechanisms underlying the succession and assembly of the microbial community of BBP fermentation, which also laid new clues for researches of the microbial communities in complex ecosystems. IMPORTANCE Gaining insights into the community assembly processes is essential and valuable for the elaboration of underlying ecological patterns. However, current studies about microbial community succession in multispecies fermented food usually treat the research object as a whole, are focused exclusively on temporal dimensions, and have ignored the changes of community structure in spatial dimensions. Therefore, dissecting the community assembly process from the view of spatiotemporal dimensions will be a more comprehensive and detailed perspective. Here, we found the heterogenicity of the BBP microbial community under the traditional production technology from spatial and temporal scales, systematically analyzed the relationship between the spatiotemporal succession of community and the difference of BBP quality, and elucidated the roles of environmental factors and microbial interactions to drive the heterogeneous succession of the microbial community. Our findings provide a new insight into understanding the association between microbial community assembly and the quality of BBP.
