Outline of Yeast Diversity
• Overview of biological strain diversity• Commercial yeast strains • Choosing a yeast strain• Native yeast strains• Interaction with other yeast and fungi and
bacteria

What is a Strain?
• Strains are the same species of organism • They have measureable differences• These differences are consistent and inherited• Strains are often a clonal population (budding)• Differences may be genetic or due to the
expression of genetic material
![Page 4: Impact of Yeast Strain Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815c1d550346895dc9f2de/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How do Differences Arise?• Genetic change on the chromosome either by
sequence or position• Genetic difference in organelle DNA, example:
mitochondrial or ribosomal DNA• Genetic mutation in or loss or gain of extra-
chromosomal DNA• Extra copies of chromosomes, anueploid/polyploid• Hybrids between Saccharomyces species• Inherited transcriptional state, i.e. epigenetic• Inherited protein conformational state i.e. prion

Selection for Differences
Natural variation occurs
Unfavorable variants selected against
Favorable variants more likely to survive and reproduceNew Strain

Domesticated vs. Wild Saccharomyces cerevisiae
• Wild Saccharomyces are found in the vineyard and in oak trees and soil near vineyards
• Domesticated Saccharomyces are found in the winery and for sale from inoculant companies
• Domesticated yeast are typically better suited for making wine
• They are selected both naturally and purposefully to survive and thrive in the winery environment

Definition of Domesticated
‘species bred in captivity and thereby modified from its wild ancestors in ways making it more useful to humans who control its reproduction and (in the case of animals) its food supply’

Characteristics Selected For in Wine
• Acid Tolerance• Temperature range• Sulfite resistance – Vineyard and Winery• Fermentation speed• Alcohol tolerance• Nitrogen requirement• Competitiveness

What traits do you want in a yeast?
![Page 11: Impact of Yeast Strain Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815c1d550346895dc9f2de/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Characteristics not Selected for in Nature
• Sensory properties– Low VA, SO2, H2S– Positive ester production– Enhanced mouthfeel
• Those important in production– Low foam production– Flocculation– ML compatibility

Choosing a Yeast StrainConsider yeast as a tool for wine making
Factors to Consider:• Grape varietal• Brix and alcohol• Fermentation temperature• Additions• Production capacity• Wine making style – ML, aging, micro-ox, etc.

Before Inoculation
![Page 17: Impact of Yeast Strain Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815c1d550346895dc9f2de/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Before Inoculation
![Page 18: Impact of Yeast Strain Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815c1d550346895dc9f2de/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Testing May Affect Your Yeast Choice…
• If you might add nitrogen or use a yeast that doesn’t require high nitrogen
• If other nutrients are lacking• If you should consider a yeast that tolerates
high alcohol• If you are concerned about H2S or SO2
production

Other factors for your considerations…

![Page 21: Impact of Yeast Strain Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815c1d550346895dc9f2de/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Native Fermentations
• Yeasts other than Saccharomyces can occur and complete fermentations
• Commercial strains can persist in the winery• Native strains may have greater potential for
change (instability)• Potential for strains with undesirable characteristics
to dominate and persist• Multiple strain fermentations are more likely to
occur
![Page 22: Impact of Yeast Strain Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815c1d550346895dc9f2de/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Stuck Fermentation
• Once a fermentation sticks it can be hard to un-stick
• Some strains do better than others at this• Native fermentations should be monitored
more closely
![Page 23: Impact of Yeast Strain Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815c1d550346895dc9f2de/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Sensory Defects
• These may occur more often with native fermentations
• Monitor closely• Consider inoculation at first signs of trouble• The point of inoculation is to get rapid and
consistent fermentations
![Page 24: Impact of Yeast Strain Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815c1d550346895dc9f2de/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mixed Fermentations• Pro:– Wild yeasts can add complexity to wines– More than one strain of Saccharomyces could
add complexity and unique character– Diverse population may handle stress better
• Con:– Competition between yeasts and strains can
select for those with undesirable traits– Strains that grow well do not always produce the
best wine
![Page 25: Impact of Yeast Strain Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815c1d550346895dc9f2de/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Other Microbe Interactions
• Some yeasts are not compatible with ML conversion– Possibly due to more complete utilization of
nutrients leaving less for Oenococcus• High SO2 can inhibit ML• Low pH can also prevent ML
![Page 26: Impact of Yeast Strain Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815c1d550346895dc9f2de/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Other Microbe Interactions
• Specialty wines like botrytized have specific issues, botrytized wines will have far more diverse flora making fermentation more of a challenge
• Sparkling and sherry wines have another yeast fermentation during the second stage of production which must be compatible with the first yeast

Summary
By Analogy….

Domesticated Organisms Retain Much Diversity
![Page 29: Impact of Yeast Strain Diversity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56815c1d550346895dc9f2de/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Strains are Bred for Specific Conditions
• No single strain does well under all conditions• No single strain serves all purposes

Some Strains are Just More Pleasing to the Senses

Wild Strains Have the Most Diversity
