Project description:A time-course transcriptomic experiment was performed in three geographically different wine yeast strains in order to test differences in gene expression as response to different nitrogen availability mRNA amounts for different wine yeast strains at different nitrogen availability was determined along the fermentation of a syntethic must. mRNA determinations were made at different fermentation stages (12, 24, 36 and 96 h after innoculation) Please note that there are two replicates per each stage (i.e. two raw data files per each sample; R1.txt and R2.txt) and the data were combined to generate the normalized data for each stage (i.e. sample).
Project description:To characterize the ecological interactions among S. cerevisiae strains coming from the same geographical area, we examined the fitness of two natural isolates from San Giovese grapes, alone or in competition, in synthetic wine must (SWM). We performed genome-wide analyses in order to identify the genes involved in yeast competition and cooperation.

Project description:By an evolutionary approach based on long-term culture on gluconate as the sole carbon source, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine strains with enhanced flux through the pentose phosphate (PP) pathway were obtained. One of these evolved strains, ECA5, exhibited several novel properties with great potential for wine making, including a higher than wild-type fermentation rate and altered production of acetate and aroma compounds. To describe the mechanisms underlying this complex phenotype, we performed a comparative analysis of transcriptomic profiles between ECA5 and its ancestral strain, EC1118, under low nitrogen, wine fermentation conditions.
