A Gram-negative, aerobic, short rod-shaped, pink-pigmented, non-motile bacterium, designated BUT-13(T), was isolated from activated sludge of an herbicide-manufacturing wastewater treatment facility in Jiangsu province, China. Growth was observed at 0-5.5 % NaCl, pH 6.0-9.0 and 12-37 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain BUT-13(T) is a member of the genus Roseomonas, and shows high sequence similarities to R. pecuniae N75(T) (98.0 %) and R. rosea 173-96(T) (97.5 %), and lower (<97 %) sequence similarities to all other Roseomonas species. Chemotaxonomic analysis revealed that strain BUT-13(T) possesses Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone; summed feature 8 (C18:1 w7c and/or C18:1 w6c; 38.8 %), C18:0 (16.6 %), C16:0 (15.2 %), summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω6c and/or C16:1 ω7; 7.9 %) and C18:1 w9c (4.7 %) as the major fatty acids. The polar lipids were found to consist of two aminolipids, a glycolipid, a phospholipid, a phosphoglycolipid, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and diphosphatidylglycerol. Strain BUT-13(T) showed low DNA-DNA relatedness with R. pecuniae N75(T) (45.2 %) and R. rosea 173-96(T) (51.2 %). The DNA G+C content was determined to be 67.6 mol%. Based on the phylogenetic analysis, DNA-DNA hybridization and chemotaxonomic analysis, as well as biochemical characteristics, strain BUT-13(T) can be clearly distinguished from all currently recognised Roseomonas species and should be classified as a novel species of the genus Roseomonas, for which the name Roseomonas chloroacetimidivorans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BUT-13(T) (CCTCC AB 2015299(T) = JCM 31050(T)).
The application of starter is a common practice to accelerate and steer pomegranate wine fermentation process. However, the use of starter needs to better understand the effect of the interaction between starter and native microorganisms during alcoholic fermentation. In this study, high-throughput sequencing combined with metabolite analysis were applied to analyze the effect of commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae inoculation on the native fungal community interaction and metabolism during pomegranate wine fermentation. Results showed there were diverse native fungi in pomegranate juice, including Hanseniaspora uvarum, H. valbyensis, S. cerevisiae, Pichia terricola and Candida diversa. Based on ecological network analysis, we found S. cerevisiae inoculation transformed the negative correlations into positive correlations among the native fungal communities, and decreased the Granger causalities between native yeasts and volatile organic compounds. This might lead to the decreased contents of isobutanol, isoamylol, octanoic acid, decanoic acid, ethyl laurate, ethyl acetate, ethyl hexadecanoate, phenethyl acetate and 2-phenylethanol during fermentation. This study combined correlation and causality analysis to gain a more integrated understanding of microbial interaction and the fermentation process. It provided a new strategy to predict certain behaviors between inoculated and selected microorganisms and those coming directly from the fruit.
IMPORTANCE
Microbial interactions play an important role in flavor metabolism during traditional foods and beverages fermentation. However, we understand little about how selected starters influence the interactions among native microorganisms. In this study, we found S. cerevisiae inoculation changed the interactions and the metabolisms of the native fungal communities during pomegranate wine fermentation. This study suggest that the starters inoculation should take into account not only the positive features of starters, but also to characterize the microbial interactions established among the starters and native communities. It may be helpful to select the appropriate starter cultures for winemakers to design different styles of wine.
The n-propanol produced
by Saccharomyces
cerevisiae has a remarkable effect on the taste and
flavor of Chinese Baijiu. The n-propanol metabolism-related
genes were deleted to evaluate the role in the synthesis of n-propanol to ascertain the key genes and pathways for the
production of n-propanol by S. cerevisiae. The results showed that CYS3, GLY1, ALD6, PDC1, ADH5, and YML082W were the key genes
affecting the n-propanol metabolism in yeast. The n-propanol concentrations of α5ΔGLY1, α5ΔCYS3, and α5ΔALD6 increased by 121.75, 22.75, and 17.78%, respectively,
compared with α5. The n-propanol content of
α5ΔPDC1, α5ΔADH5, and α5ΔYML082W decreased
by 24.98, 8.35, and 8.44%, respectively, compared with α5. The
contents of intermediate metabolites were measured, and results showed
that the mutual transformation of glycine and threonine in the threonine
pathway and the formation of propanal from 2-ketobutyrate were the
core pathways for the formation of n-propanol. Additionally, YML082W played important role in the synthesis
of n-propanol by directly producing 2-ketobutyric
acid through l-homoserine. This study provided valuable insights
into the n-propanol synthesis in S.
cerevisiae and the theoretical basis for future optimization
of yeast strains in Baijiu making.
