  • Title: Combined use of killer biotype and mtDNA-RFLP patterns in a Patagonian wine Saccharomyces cerevisiae diversity study.
    Author: Lopes CA, Lavalle TL, Querol A, Caballero AC.
    Journal: Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek; 2006 Jan; 89(1):147-56. PubMed ID: 16328858.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this work was to characterize the indigenous wine Saccharomyces cerevisiae diversity within the Argentinean Patagonia. Two cellars with particular enological practices located in different winegrowing areas were selected and 112 indigenous S. cerevisiae isolates were obtained from spontaneous red wine fermentations carried out in them. Thirty-five and 19 patterns were distinguished among the total indigenous isolates using mtDNA-RFLP and killer biotype analysis, respectively. The combination of both typing techniques rendered a higher variability with 42 different patterns, i.e. 42 strains, evidencing a great diversity in S. cerevisiae populations associated with spontaneous red wine fermentations in Northwestern Patagonia. The analysis of the relatedness among strains using Principal Coordinates Analysis from combined data allowed the clustering of the strains into two populations significantly related to their origin fermentations. The combined use of the mtDNA-RFLP analysis together with the killer biotype method proved to be a powerful tool in the fingerprinting of the enological S. cerevisiae strains.
