Study of yeast biodiversity potential in the development of biological control agents against phytopathogenic fungi in viticulture
Melita Sternad Lemut, Adesida Rowland, Urban Česnik, Lorena Butinar, 2017, published scientific conference contribution abstract

Abstract: Despite public’s growing concerns for human health and environmental pollution, synthetic fungicides are still preferred and massively used for the protection of agricultural crop plants against fungal diseases. However, more and more research is focused on finding potential alternatives in the form of effective biological control agents. Although there are reports of yeast’s biocontrol activity, they are up to date poorly commercialized for such purposes. As the yeasts represent an important part of the grape microflora, competing with other microorganisms (including pathogens) for nutrients and space, we decided to examine the potential of autochthonous yeasts as "green" alternatives in fighting against phytopathogens such as Botrytis cinerea in viticulture. With this aim we tested biocontrol activity of various strains / species of indigenous wine yeasts that were isolated from the vineyard environment in Slovenia and cross-border Italy. The yeasts were tested for the presence of siderophores, hydrolytic enzymes (chitinase, β-glucosidase and β-glucanase) and sensitivity to fungicides (copper, iprodion, cyprodinil + fludioxonil combination). The tests of phytopathogenic fungi growth inhibition in the presence of antagonistic yeast were also performed. The double Petri dish test was used to verify the inhibition of conidia germination by the formation of antifungal volatile organic compounds (VOC), synthetized by the antagonistic yeasts. The presence of hydrolytic enzymes was confirmed in many wine yeasts, particularly in the strains of Hanseniaspora uvarum and Metschnikowia pulcherrima species and in some strains of the Pichia genus. Using a medium, based on natural diluted grape juice in a double Petri dish test, we found that yeasts of the Debaryomyces hansenii, Lachancea thermotolerans, P. kudriavzevii, Saccharomyces kudriavzevii, S. cerevisiae and Torulaspora delbrueckii species were able to inhibit the germination of fungal conidia at the expense of the VOC formation. However, none of the up to date tested yeasts formed siderophores. On the other hand, the yeasts were generally resistant to the tested fungicide concentrations, thus they could be used as potential biofungicides in the combination with chemical fungicides.

Combined effects of early season leaf removal and climatic conditions on aroma precursors in ‘Sauvignon blanc’ grapes
Paolo Sivilotti, Rachele FALCHI, Jose Carlos Herrera, Branka Škvarč, Lorena Butinar, Melita Sternad Lemut, Marijan Bubola, Paolo SABBATINI, Klemen Lisjak, Andreja Vanzo, 2017, original scientific article

Abstract: Early leaf removal around the cluster zone is a common technique applied in cool climate viticulture, to regulate yield components and improve fruit quality. Despite the increasing amount of information on early leaf removal and its impact on total soluble solids, anthocyanins and polyphenols, less is known regarding aroma compounds. In order to verify the hypothesis that defoliation, applied before or after flowering, could impact the biosynthesis of thiol precursors, we performed a two year (2013 and 2014) experiment on Sauvignon blanc. We provided evidence that differential accumulation of thiols precursors in berries is affected by the timing of defoliation and this impact was related to modifications in biosynthetic pathway. Furthermore, the possible interaction between leaf removal treatment and seasonal weather conditions, and its effect on the biosynthesis of volatile precursors are discussed. Our results suggested that in Sauvignon blanc the relative proportion of 4-S-glutathionyl-4-methylpentan-2-one (G-4MSP) and 3-S-glutathionylhexan-1-ol (G-3SH) precursors can be affected by defoliation, and this could be related to the induction of two specific genes encoding glutathione-S-transferases (VvGST3 and VvGST5), while no significant effects on basic fruit chemical parameters, polyphenols and methoxypyrazines were ascertained under our experimental conditions.

Vpliv karbonske maceracije na vsebnost fenolov in aromatične značilnost vina Merlot
Iris Lisjak, 2017, undergraduate thesis

Abstract: Kakovost vina je prvi vrsti odvisna od lastnosti uporabljenega grozdja, njegova kakovost in stil pa sta močno odvisna tudi od vinarjevih odločitev glede uporabljenih vinifikacijskih postopkov. Zahteve vinskega trga spodbujajo k izboljšanju klasičnih kot tudi k uvajanju alternativnih vinarskih strategij. V sklopu diplomskega dela smo preučevali vpliv postopka karbonske maceracije v predelavi grozdja sorte 'Merlot' na vsebnosti prostih aromatičnih spojin, skupnih antocianov ter skupnih polifenolov v vinih in sicer v primerjavi s kontrolnim, klasičnim postopkom pridelave mladega rdečega vina. Kemijske analize vzorcev smo opravili spektrofotometrično ter s pomočjo naprednih analitskih pristopov metabolnega profiliranja in tehnike GC-MS-MS. Preučili smo tudi senzorične lastnosti eksperimentalnih vin. Rezultati enoletnega poskusa so pokazali, da lahko s karbonsko maceracijo v vinu Merlot povečamo vsebnost skupnih prostih aromatičnih kislin, estrov in norizoprenoida damascenona. Nasprotno smo več aromatičnih alkoholov določili v kontrolnih vinih. Uporaba karbonske maceracije je povzročila slabši izplen skupnih antocianov, ne pa tudi skupnih polifenolov. Senzorične analize barve so potrdile več češnjevo rdečih odtenkov pri vinih, pridelanih s karbonsko maceracijo ter več vijoličnih in rubinastih pri kontrolnih vinih. Karbonska maceracija je povzročila boljšo intenzivnost ter kakovost vonja, vendar slabšo trajnost in intenzivnost okusa vina. Degustatorji so pri vinih, pridelanih s karbonsko maceracijo, zaznali več svežega sadja in mehkega rdečega sadja v vonju ter več svežine in nekoliko boljšo harmoničnost v okusu. Kontrolna vina so imela močnejše zaznave gozdnih sadežev v vonju, v okusu pa več grenkobe in astringence, a so degustatorjem delovala polnejše.

Vpliv različnih tehnoloških postopkov predelave grozdja sorte Zelen (Vitis vinifera L.) na aromatične značilnosti vina
Franko Fabjan, 2017, undergraduate thesis

Abstract: Poleg sorte, geo-klimatskih pogojev in vinogradniških strategij v vinogradu so tudi vinarjeve odločitve glede izbora vinifikacijskih postopkov tiste, ki lahko odločilno vplivajo na končno kakovost vina, vključno z njegovimi aromatskimi značilnostmi. Z različnimi prijemi ali postopki pred alkoholno fermentacijo in med njo lahko vplivamo predvsem na ekstrakcijo in ohranitev primarnih ter na tvorbo sekundarnih aromatskih spojin. V okviru diplomskega dela smo s pomočjo modernih analitskih pristopov metabolnega profiliranja in tehnike GC/MS/MS preučevali vpliv različnih tehnoloških postopkov predelave grozdja (krioekstrakcija s suhim ledom, stik s celimi jagodami med fermentacijo, klasični pristop-kontrola) na vsebnost prostih in vezanih aromatičnih spojin v mladih vinih Zelen, letnik 2014. Preučili smo tudi vpliv obravnavanih tehnologij na senzorične lastnosti, vezane na zaznave vonja v mladih vinih. Rezultati enoletnega poskusa so nakazali, da lahko s pomočjo krioekstrakcije v vinih Zelen povečamo izplene skupnih prostih aromatičnih kislin, estrov in terpenov, po drugi strani pa smo zaznali le trend povečanja vsebnosti skupnih višjih alkoholov pri vzorcih iz postopka dodajanja jagod med fermentacijo. V primeru vezanih aromatskih spojin smo s pomočjo postopka dodajanja jagod v primerjavi s kontrolo opazili trende povečanja vsebnosti nekaterih vezanih estrov, norizoprenoidov in višjih alkoholov, krioekstrakcija pa je večinoma povzročila trende k niţjim vsebnostim vezanih aromatskih spojin glede na kontrolne vzorce. Nazadnje so se tudi senzorična opazovanja z vonjem povezanih lastnosti vin zaključila preteţno v prid postopku z dodajanjem jagod med fermentacijo.
