Microbial Community Analyses Associated with Nine Varieties of Wine Grape Carposphere Based on High-Throughput Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Understanding the composition of microbials on the grape carposphere may provide direct guidance for the wine brewing. In this work, 16S rRNA and ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) fungal amplicon sequencing were performed to investigate the differences of epiphytic microbial communities inhabiting different varieties of wine grape berries. The results showed that the dominated phylum of different wine grape carpospheres were Proteobacteria, Actinomycetes, Firmicutes, Gemmatimonadete, and Bacteroidetes. The dominant bacterial genera of different wine grape varieties were Pseudomonas, Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Pantoea, Planomicrobium, Massilia, Curtobacterium, Corynebacterium, Cellulomonas, Sphingomonas, and Microvirga. The fungal communities of the grapes were dominated by Ascomycota for all nine wine varieties. The dominant fungal genera on grape carposphere were Alternaria, Cladosporium, unclassified Capnodiales, Phoma, Rhodotorula, Cryptococcus, Aureobasidium, and Epicoccum. Community structure exerts a significant impact on bacterial Bray-Curtis dissimilarity on six red grapes and also a significant bacterial impact on three white grapes. Community structure exerts a significant impact on fungal Bray-Curtis dissimilarity on six red grapes but weak or no fungal impact on three white grapes. The results revealed that grape variety plays a significant role in shaping bacterial and fungal community, varieties can be distinguished based on the abundance of several key bacterial and fungal taxa.

Project description:Regionally distinct wine characteristics (terroir) are an important aspect of wine production and consumer appreciation. Microbial activity is an integral part of wine production, and grape and wine microbiota present regionally defined patterns associated with vineyard and climatic conditions, but the degree to which these microbial patterns associate with the chemical composition of wine is unclear. Through a longitudinal survey of over 200 commercial wine fermentations, we demonstrate that both grape microbiota and wine metabolite profiles distinguish viticultural area designations and individual vineyards within Napa and Sonoma Counties, California. Associations among wine microbiota and fermentation characteristics suggest new links between microbiota, fermentation performance, and wine properties. The bacterial and fungal consortia of wine fermentations, composed from vineyard and winery sources, correlate with the chemical composition of the finished wines and predict metabolite abundances in finished wines using machine learning models. The use of postharvest microbiota as an early predictor of wine chemical composition is unprecedented and potentially poses a new paradigm for quality control of agricultural products. These findings add further evidence that microbial activity is associated with wine terroir Wine production is a multi-billion-dollar global industry for which microbial control and wine chemical composition are crucial aspects of quality. Terroir is an important feature of consumer appreciation and wine culture, but the many factors that contribute to terroir are nebulous. We show that grape and wine microbiota exhibit regional patterns that correlate with wine chemical composition, suggesting that the grape microbiome may influence terroir In addition to enriching our understanding of how growing region and wine properties interact, this may provide further economic incentive for agricultural and enological practices that maintain regional microbial biodiversity.

Project description:Using barcoded pyrosequencing fungal and bacterial communities associated with grape berry clusters (Vitis vinifera L.) obtained from conventional, organic and biodynamic vineyard plots were investigated in two subsequent years at different stages during berry ripening. The four most abundant operational taxonomic units (OTUs) based on fungal ITS data were Botrytis cinerea, Cladosporium spp., Aureobasidium pullulans and Alternaria alternata which represented 57% and 47% of the total reads in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Members of the genera Sphingomonas, Gluconobacter, Pseudomonas, Erwinia, and Massilia constituted 67% of the total number of bacterial 16S DNA reads in 2010 samples and 78% in 2011 samples. Viticultural management system had no significant effect on abundance of fungi or bacteria in both years and at all three sampling dates. Exceptions were A. alternata and Pseudomonas spp. which were more abundant in the carposphere of conventional compared to biodynamic berries, as well as Sphingomonas spp. which was significantly less abundant on conventional compared to organic berries at an early ripening stage in 2011. In general, there were no significant differences in fungal and bacterial diversity indices or richness evident between management systems. No distinct fungal or bacterial communities were associated with the different maturation stages or management systems, respectively. An exception was the last stage of berry maturation in 2011, where the Simpson diversity index was significantly higher for fungal communities on biodynamic compared to conventional grapes. Our study highlights the existence of complex and dynamic microbial communities in the grape cluster carposphere including both phytopathogenic and potentially antagonistic microorganisms that can have a significant impact on grape production. Such knowledge is particularly relevant for development, selection and application of effective control measures against economically important pathogens present in the grape carposphere.
