Aerobic fermentation was previously proposed to reduce the ethanol content of wine. The main constraint found for Saccharomyces cerevisiae to be used under these conditions was the high levels of acetic acid produced by all S. cerevisiae strains previously tested. This work addressed the identification of S. cerevisiae wine yeast strains suitable for aerobic fermentation and the optimization of fermentation conditions to obtain a reduced ethanol yield with acceptable volatile acidity. This approach unveiled a great diversity in acetic acid yield for different S. cerevisiae strains under aerobic conditions, with some strains showing very low volatile acidity. Three strains were selected for further characterization in bioreactors, with natural grape must, under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Ethanol yields were lower under aerobic than under anaerobic conditions for all strains, and acetic acid levels were low for two of them. Strain-dependent changes in volatile compounds were also observed between aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Finally, the process was optimized at laboratory scale for one strain. This is the first report of S. cerevisiae wine strains showing low acetic acid production under aerobic conditions and paves the way for simplified aerobic fermentation protocols aimed to reducing the alcohol content of wines.

Fucoidan exerts antitumor effects by regulating gut microbiota and tryptophan metabolism.

Int J Biol Macromol

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Marine Food Processing & Safety Control, College of Food Science and Engineering, Ocean University of China, China.

Fucoidan, a water-soluble polysaccharide derived from marine organisms, has garnered significant attention for its ability to regulate gut microbiota and its anti-tumor properties. However, the existence of a correlation between the anti-tumor effect of fucoidan and its regulation of the gut microbiota remains unknown. In pursuit of this objective, we culled the gut microbiota of mice with broad-spectrum antibiotics to generate pseudo-sterile tumor-bearing mice.

The exploration of pure organic ultra-long room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials has emerged as a research hotspot in recent years. Herein, a simple strategy for fabricating long-afterglow polymer aerogels with three-dimensional ordered structures and environmental monitoring capabilities is proposed. Based on the non-covalent interactions between pectin (PC) and melamine formaldehyde (MF), a composite aerogel (PCMF@phenanthrene) (PCMF@PA) doped with phosphorescent organic small molecules was constructed.

Kombucha fortified with Cascade hops (Humulus lupulus L.): enhanced antioxidative and sensory properties.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol

January 2025

Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Sciences, Institute of Fermentation Technology and Microbiology, Lodz University of Technology, Wolczanska 171/173, 90-530, Lodz, Poland.

In recent years, there has been a surge in the production of kombucha-a functional beverage obtained via microbial fermentation of tea. However, fresh, unpasteurized kombucha is sensitive to quality deterioration as a result of, among other factors, oxidation. The addition of hops seems to be promising, due to their antioxidative properties, which may improve the stability of kombucha.

Increase in IAA levels by EPSPS copy number variation relates to fitness advantage in Eleusine indica.

Pest Manag Sci

January 2025

State Key Laboratory for Biology of Plant Diseases and Insect Pests, Institute of Plant Protection, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing, China.

Background: Long-term use of chemical weed control has led to some weedy species evolving herbicide resistance traits with fitness advantage. Our previous studies revealed glyphosate resistance in an Eleusine indica population due to copy number variation of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) comes with fitness advantage under non-competitive conditions. Here, transcriptomics and targeted metabolomics were used to investigate physiological basis associated with the fitness advantage.

Utilization of rice pasta by-products as the substrate for vinegar fermentation.

J Food Sci Technol

February 2025

Program of Medical Technology, Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, Chonburi, 20130 Thailand.

Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to utilize four rice pasta by-products (RPB), including white rice pasta, black jasmine rice pasta, red jasmine rice pasta and brown rice pasta, to ferment into four vinegars. The dynamic variations during fermentation and their quality were evaluated. During alcoholic fermentation, the saccharified substrates were fermented with for 12 days, resulting in an alcohol yield of approximately 10% (v/v) after 4 days of fermentation.
