“…Because of its acidophilic profile and its unique genome organization, O. oeni is an intriguing and challenging model to investigate stress response mechanisms in LAB (Bartowsky, 2017; Grandvalet, 2017). Over the past decades, several genetic responses adopted by O. oeni during wine adaptation have been described, including genes involved in general stress response, membrane composition and fluidity, pH homeostasis, oxidative stress response, presence of sulfites and DNA damage (Salema et al, 1996; Guzzo et al, 1997, 1998; Jobin et al, 1997, 1999; Tourdot-Maréchal et al, 2000; Da Silveira et al, 2003; Beltramo et al, 2004; Chu-Ky et al, 2005; Coucheney et al, 2005b; Grandvalet et al, 2005, 2008; Da Silveira and Abee, 2009; Maitre et al, 2014; Darsonval et al, 2016; Margalef-Català et al, 2016).…”
