Evaluation of Biotechnological Active Peptides Secreted by Saccharomyces cerevi...

Mauricio, Elisabete; Branco, Patricia; Araújo, Ana Luiza Barros; Roma-Rodrigues, Catarina; Lima, Katelene; Duarte, Maria Paula; Fernandes, Alexandra

ABSTRACT:Biotechnological active peptides are gaining interest in the cosmetics industry due to their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-collagenase (ACE) effects, as well as wound healing properties, making them suitable for cosmetic formulations. The antimicrobial activity of peptides (2–10 kDa) secreted by Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ethanol-Red was evaluated against dermal pathogens using ...

Crujeira, Teresa; Trancoso, Maria Ascensão; Eusebio, Ana; Oliveira, Ana Cristina; Passarinho, Paula; Abreu, Mariana; Marques, Isabel Paula

ABSTRACT: A methodology was developed to assess the allocation of different types of endogenous waste biomass to eight technologies for producing electricity, heat, biogas and advanced biofuels. It was based on the identification of key physicochemical parameters for each conversion process and the definition of limit values for each parameter, applied to two different matrices of waste biomass. This enabled th...

Evaluation of the biocontrol potential of a commercial yeast starter against fu...

Branco, Patricia; Diniz, Mário; Albergaria, Helena

ABSTRACT: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and Brettanomyces bruxellensis are the main contaminants of bioethanol fermentations. Those contaminations affect Saccharomyces cerevisiae performance and reduce ethanol yields and productivity, leading to important economic losses. Currently, chemical treatments such as acid washing and/or antibiotics are used to control those contaminants. However, these control measures c...

ABSTRACT: During spontaneous wine fermentations, most of the non-Saccharomyces yeasts present in grape musts show an early decline in their population. It was traditionally assumed that Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S.c.) prevalence was due to the higher resistance of this species to ethanol. However, wine fermentations performed with single cultures of non-Saccharomyces strains showed that those strains could with...

Wine Spoilage Control: Impact of Saccharomycin on Brettanomyces bruxellensis an...

Branco, Patricia; Coutinho, Rute; Malfeito-Ferreira, Manuel; Prista, Catarina; Albergaria, Helena

ABSTRACT: The yeast Brettanomyces bruxellensis is one of the most dangerous wine contaminants due to the production of phenolic off-flavors such as 4-ethylphenol. This microbial hazard is regularly tackled by addition of sulfur dioxide (SO2). Nevertheless, B. bruxellensis is frequently found at low levels (ca 10(3) cells/mL) in finished wines. Besides, consumers health concerns regarding the use of sulfur dioxi...

The yeast Brettanomyces bruxellensis is one of the most dangerous wine contaminants due to the production of phenolic off-flavors such as 4-ethylphenol. This microbial hazard is regularly tackled by addition of sulfur dioxide (SO2). Nevertheless, B. bruxellensis is frequently found at low levels (ca 103 cells/mL) in finished wines. Besides, consumers health concerns regarding the use of sulfur dioxide encourage...


Proteomics insights into the responses of Saccharomyces cerevisiae during mixed...

Peng, Chuantao; Andersen, Birgit; Arshid, Samina; Larsen, Martin R.; Albergaria, Helena; Lametsch, Rene; Arneborg, Nils

ABSTRACT: The response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to cocultivation with Lachancea thermotolerans during alcoholic fermentations has been investigated using tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomics. At two key time-points, S. cerevisiae was sorted from single S. cerevisiae fermentations and from mixed fermentations using flow cytometry sorting. Results showed that the purity of sorted S. cerevisiae was above 96% ...

Saccharomycin, a biocide from S. cerevisiae that kill-off other yeasts

Caldeira, Jorge; Gabriela Almeida, M.; Macedo, Anjos L.; Silva, José P. M.; Albergaria, Helena

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Saccharomyces cerevisiae plays an important role in alcoholic fermentation and is involved in the production of wine, beer and bread. Recent studies [1–7] showed that S. cerevisiae secretes antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), named “saccharomycin”, derived from the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) that are active against a variety of wine-related microbial sp...
