“…In the last decade, several studies focused their attention on this topic, and LAB species other than O. oeni to be used in winemaking and in the MLF process were studied [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. In particular, strains belonging to the Lactobacillus genus could also exert an important role in extreme environments owing to their enzyme pathway [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. In fact, L. plantarum strains, having genes encoding for enzymes such as citrate lyase, phenolic acid decarboxylase, esterase, and β-glucosidases, could positively influence the MLF and wine flavour [ 21 , 22 ].…”
