Isotopic Tracers Unveil Distinct Fates for Nitrogen Sources during Wine Fermentation with Two Non-<i>Saccharomyces</i> Strains

Non-<i>Saccharomyces</i> yeast strains have become increasingly prevalent in the food industry, particularly in winemaking, because of their properties of interest both in biological control and in complexifying flavour profiles in end-products. However, unleashing the full potential of...

description Non-<i>Saccharomyces</i> yeast strains have become increasingly prevalent in the food industry, particularly in winemaking, because of their properties of interest both in biological control and in complexifying flavour profiles in end-products. However, unleashing the full potential of these species would require solid knowledge of their physiology and metabolism, which is, however, very limited to date. In this study, a quantitative analysis using <sup>15</sup>N-labelled NH<sub>4</sub>Cl, arginine, and glutamine, and <sup>13</sup>C-labelled leucine and valine revealed the specificities of the nitrogen metabolism pattern of two non-<i>Saccharomyces</i> species, <i>Torulaspora delbrueckii</i> and <i>Metschnikowia pulcherrima.</i> In <i>T. delbrueckii</i>, consumed nitrogen sources were mainly directed towards the <i>de novo</i> synthesis of proteinogenic amino acids, at the expense of volatile compounds production. This redistribution pattern was in line with the high biomass-producer phenotype of this species. Conversely, in <i>M. pulcherrim</i>a, which displayed weaker growth capacities, a larger proportion of consumed amino acids was catabolised for the production of higher alcohols through the Ehrlich pathway. Overall, this comprehensive overview of nitrogen redistribution in <i>T. delbrueckii</i> and <i>M. pulcherrima</i> provides valuable information for a better management of co- or sequential fermentation combining these species with <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>.
