“…Indeed, several non-Saccharomyces species have been proven to positively modify the wine chemical composition, contributing especially to the sensory properties of wines (Jolly et al, 2014;Oro et al, 2014;Lu et al, 2015;Petruzzi et al, 2017a). However, the growth of certain non-Saccharomyces strains in grape musts can cause the development of antagonistic interactions among yeasts and lead to an excessive accumulation of several undesirable metabolites, such as acetic acid, ethyl acetate, aldehyde and acetoin (Medina et al, 2012;Ciani et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2017), and other phenotypic properties in some cases also characteristic to S. cerevisiae strains from alcoholic beverages . Some non-Saccharomyces species even exhibit low fermentation power and rate, as well as low ethanol and SO 2 resistance (Medina et al, 2012;Tristezza et al, 2013;Alonso et al, 2015).…”
