Nitrogen utilisation of selected non-Saccharomyces yeasts and the impact on volatile compound productionDe Koker, Simone 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2015. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: During fermentation, nitrogenous compounds serve as nutrients for the yeasts, which enable
their growth, functioning and maintenance of the yeasts cells. From a winemaking perspective,
a certain amount of nitrogen is required for the yeasts in order to avoid sluggish or stuck
fermentation. Moreover, nitrogen metabolism leads to the production of aroma compounds such
as higher alcohols, fatty acids and esters which contribute positively to overall sensory
characteristics of wine. Nitrogen metabolism (uptake of ammonium and amino acids) have been
extensively studied in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Nonetheless, the fairly great variances
observed between strains in terms of preference for certain nitrogen sources and metabolism
thereof are not so well understood. Additionally, these mechanisms nitrogen metabolism of non-
Saccharomyces yeasts are even vaguer and simply assumed to be globally similar to those of
S. cerevisiae.
This study aimed to investigate the uptake of nitrogen compounds (ammonium and individual
amino acids) by selected non-Saccharomyces yeasts (Lachancea thermotolerans IWBT Y1240,
Torulaspora delbrueckii Biodiva TD291, Pichia kluyveri FrootZen, Metschnikowia pulcherrima
IWBT Y1123 and Metschnikowia pulcherrima Flavia) to assess the impact of fermentation
kinetics and the production of aroma compounds during sequential fermentations with S.
cerevisiae under different initial YAN concentrations, with 300 mg/L, 150 mg/L and 75 mg/L,
respectively). Fermentations were performed in a synthetic grape juice medium with pure and
sequential fermentations. The data showed that the assimilation of nitrogen compounds were
species specific. For example, L. thermotolerans preferred alpha amino nitrogen above
ammonia, where the opposite hold true for T. delbrueckii. Notable differences could also be
identified for the uptake of certain single amino acids. Irrespective of the initial YAN
concentrations during sequential fermentations, the yeasts only assimilated about half of the
initial YAN. The non-Saccharomyces yeasts did not influence fermentation performance during
sequential fermentations. However, a low initial YAN (75 mg/L) had a strong influence on the
fermentation kinetics and aroma compound production. The higher uptake (compare to S.
cerevisiae) of specific single amino acids by non-Saccharomyces yeasts (especially L.
thermotolerans), can be tentatively correlated with certain aroma compounds produced at the
end of fermentation. The results also revealed that agitation could impact overall fermentation
performance and aroma compound production. This study contributes to an improved
understanding of how different initial nitrogen concentrations affect growth, fermentation
performances and aroma compound production of wine-related yeasts under fermentative
conditions. Moreover, the uptake of single amino acids by selected non-Saccharomyces yeasts
had also been identified, which is a good starting point to better understand non-
Saccharomyces yeasts nitrogen requirements which may be used for the optimization of
nitrogen source addition, during alcoholic fermentation, when used in mixed fermentations in
order to ensure a complete alcoholic fermentation. To the best of our knowledge, the uptake of
single amino acids and YAN consumption by selected non-Saccharomyces yeasts under
fermentation conditions tested, have never been studied before. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Tydens wynfermentasies dien talle stikstof komponente as voedingstowwe vir wyngis wat hul
groei, funksie en onderhoud bevorder. Van `n wynmaak perspektief word daar `n sekere
hoeveelheid stikstof benodig deur die wyngis om te verhoed dat slepende of onvolledige
fermentasies plaasvind. Verder lei stikstofmetabolisme na die produksie van aroma verbindings,
soos hoër alkohole, vlugtige vetsure en esters wat positief bydra tot die sensoriese
karaktereienskappe van wyn. Die stikstofmetabolisme (opneem ammonium en aminosure) is
deeglik nagevors in die wyngis Saccharomyces cerevisiae, maar die klein variasies
waargeneem tussen die gisras in terme van die voorkeur van sekere stikstof komponente is
egter nog onduidelik. Daarbenewens is die stikstofmetabolisme nog meer onbekend in nie-
Saccharomyces wyngis en word dit oor die algemeen aanvaar dat die werking van die
stikstofmetabolisme dieselfde is as in S. cerevisiae.
Hierdie studie het gestreef om die opneem van stikstof komponente (ammonium en aminosure)
te ondersoek van uitverkiesde nie-Saccharomyes gis (Lachancea thermotolerans IWBT Y1240,
Torulaspora delbrueckii Biodiva TD291, Pichia kluyveri FrootZen, Metschnikowia pulcherrima
IWBT Y1123 and Metschnikowia pulcherrima Flavia) deur te bepaal wat die impak is op die
groei-kinetika en op die produksie van aroma komponente gedurende gemengde kultuur
fermentasies met S. cerevisae onder verskillende aanvangs assimileerbare stikstof (300 mg/L,
150 mg/L en 75 mg/L). Fermentasies is in sintetiese druiwemos uitgevoer vir beide enkel en
gemengde kultuur fermentasies. Die resultate demonstreer dat die assimilasie van stikstof ras
spesifiek was. Byvoorbeeld, L. thermotolerans verkies alfa amino stikstof bo ammonium waar
die teenoorgestelde waar is vir T. delbrueckii. Beduidende verskille is ook waargeneem vir die
opneem van sekere individuele aminosure. Die wyngis het steeds net die helfte van die
assimileerbare stikstof opgeneem gedurende gemengde kultuur fermentasies ongeag die
aanvangsstikstof konsentrasies. Die nie-Saccharomyces gis het nie die fermentasie kinetika
beïnvloed tydens gemengde kultuur fermentasies nie. Daar was egter ook waargeneem dat `n
lae assimileerbare stikstof (75 mg/L) `n negatiewe invloed op die fermentasie kinetika sowel as
aroma produksie gehad het. Die hoër opname (vergelyking met S. cerevisiae) van sekere
aminosure deur nie-Saccharomyces gis, kan tydelik gekoppel word aan die produksie van
spesifieke aroma verbindings aan die einde van fermentasies. Die resultate het ook gewys dat
die toepassing van skud `n impak het op die fermentasie kinetika sowel as die produksie van
aroma komponente. Die studie dra by om beter te verstaan van hoe verskillende
aanvangsstikstof die groei, fermentasie kinetika en aroma produksie beïnvloed onder
fermentasie kondisies. Die opneem van sekere aminosure deur nie-Saccharomyces gis word
ook beskryf, wat `n goeie beginpunt is om beter te vertaan wat die stikstof vereistes vir die
geselekteerde wyngis is, wat gebruik kan word vir die optimisering van stikstofaanvullings, sodat
die risiko van probleemfermentasies verlaag sal word. So ver as wat ons kennis strek is die
opneem van aminosure en die gebruik van assimileerbare stikstof deur nie-Saccharomyces
wyngis onder fermentasie kondisies nog nie ondersoek nie.

Genetic investigation and characterization of killer toxins secreted by non-Saccharomyces yeastsMehlomakulu, Ngwekazi Nwabisa 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2015. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the current study, two isolates showing killer activity against several wine yeast species in a
previous study were identified to strain level and found to belong to the yeast species Candida
pyralidae. The identified yeast strains and a Kluyveromyces wickerhamii yeast strain used as a
control exhibited killer activity against B. bruxellensis known for its spoilage characteristics in
red wine, and against several strains of the genus Brettanomyces on white and red grape juice
medium. The killer yeasts inhibited neither the growth of S. cerevisiae nor that of the lactic acid
bacteria Oenococcus oeni and Lactobacillus plantarum strains. Yeasts are reported to secrete
killer toxins, which can play a role in yeast microbial interactions under winemaking conditions.
The C. pyralidae strains were found to secrete two novel killer toxins, designated CpKT1 and
CpKT2. These killer toxins were stable and active under winemaking conditions, pH 3.5 - 4.5
and temperature ranges between 15 and 25°C. Ethanol and sugar concentrations found during
winemaking did not affect the activity and stability of these killer toxins. Although, the killer
toxins differed with regards to their biochemical and environmental stability and activity, they
were found to have a similar mode of action. The killer toxins induced a fungistatic effect on
B. bruxellensis sensitive cells in addition to binding to the cell wall of the sensitive cells, inducing
cell surface and plasma membrane damage as did the Kwkt killer toxin secreted by
K. wickerhamii. According to the author’s knowledge this is the first report on the identification of
novel killer toxins secreted by C. pyralidae strains isolated from a wine environment as well as
the identification of the mode of action of killer toxins on B. bruxellensis cells. This indeed
provides great research scope in this field.
The exoproteomes consisting of the killer toxins Kwkt, CpKT1 and CpKT2 revealed the
presence of exo-glucanases and glucosidases, respectively. The enzymes KwExg1 (exoglucanase)
and KwSun4 (glucosidase) retrieved from K. wickerhamii’s exoproteome were
identified as the potential toxins, but their killer activity could not be confirmed. These findings
suggest that hydrolytic enzymes possess killer activity, as previously reported in literature.
However, further investigation is needed to identify the killer toxins characterized in this study. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die huidige studie is twee isolate wat in ’n vorige studie “killer” aktiwiteit teenoor verskeie
wyngisspesies vertoon het, tot op rasvlak geïdentifiseer en daar is gevind dat hulle aan die
gisspesie Candida pyralidae behoort. Die geïdentifiseerde gisrasse en ’n Kluyveromyces
wickerhamii gisras wat as kontrole gebruik is, het “killer” aktiwiteit getoon teenoor B.
bruxellensis, wat bekend is vir sy bederfkarakter in rooi wyn, en ook teenoor verskeie rasse van
die genus Brettanomyces in wit en rooi druiwesapmedium. Die “killer” giste het nie die groei van
óf S. cerevisiae óf van die melksuurbakteria Oenococcus oeni en Lactobacillus plantarum-rasse
geïnhibeer nie. Giste word berig om “killer” gifstowwe uit te skei, wat ’n rol kan speel in gis
mikrobiese interaksies onder wynbereidingstoestande.
Die C. pyralidae-rasse is gevind om twee nuwe “killer” gifstowwe af te skei, wat CpKT1 en
CpKT2 genoem is. Hierdie “killer” gifstowwe was stabiel en aktief onder
wynbereidingstoestande, pH 3.5 - 4.5 en temperatuur tussen 15 en 25°C. Die etanol- en
suikerkonsentrasies wat onder wynbereiding voorkom, het nie die aktiwiteit en stabiliteit van
hierdie “killer” gifstowwe beïnvloed nie. Hoewel die “killer” gifstowwe met betrekking tot hulle
biochemiese en omgewingstabiliteit en aktiwiteit verskil het, is daar gevind dat hulle ’n eenderse
modus van aksie het. Die “killer” gifstowwe het ’n fungistatiese effek op B. bruxellensis
sensitiewe selle geïnduseer, buiten dat dit aan die selwand van die sensitiewe selle gebind het,
en het seloppervlak- en plasma-membraanskade geïnduseer, net soos die Kwkt “killer” gifstof
wat deur K. wickerhamii afgeskei is. So ver die skrywer weet, is hierdie die eerste verslag van
die identifisering van nuwe “killer” gifstowwe wat deur C. pyralidae rasse afgeskei word wat uit
’n wynomgewing geïsoleer is, asook van die identifikasie van die modus van aksie van “killer”
gifstof op B. bruxellensis selle. Dit verbreed dus beslis die navorsingsomvang van hierdie
gebied.
Die eksoproteome, bestaande uit die “killer” gifstowwe Kwkt, CpKT1 en CpKT2, het die
teenwoordigheid van ekso-glukanases en glukosidases onderskeidelik onthul. Die ensieme
KwExg1 (eksoglukanase) en KwSun4 (glukosidase) wat vanuit K. wickerhamii se eksoproteoom
herwin is, is as die potensiële gifstowwe geïdentifiseer, maar hulle “killer” aktiwiteit kon nie
bevestig word nie. Hierdie bevindings suggereer dat hidrolitiese ensieme “killer” aktiwiteit besit,
soos voorheen in die literatuur berig is. Verdere ondersoeke word egter benodig om die “killer”
gifstowwe wat in hierdie studie gekarakteriseer is, te identifiseer.

Characterisation of L-malic acid metabolism in strains of Saccharomyces and the development of a commercial wine yeast strain with an efficient malo-ethanolic pathwayVolschenk, Heinrich 12 1900 (has links)
Dissertation (PhD)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: L-Malic and tartaric acid are the most prominent organic acids in wine and playa crucial role in
winemaking processes and wine quality, including the organoleptic quality and the physical,
biochemical and microbial stability of wine. The production of premium wines depends on the
oenologist's skill to accurately adjust wine acidity to obtain the optimum balance with other wine
components to produce wine with optimum colour and flavour.
Strains of Saccharomyces, in general, rarely degrade L-malic acid completely in grape must during
alcoholic fermentation, with relatively minor modifications in total acidity during vinification. The
degree of L-malic acid degradation, however, varies from strain to strain. Some strains of
Saccharomyces are known to be able to degrade a higher percentage of L-malic acid, but the
underlying reason for this phenomenon is unknown. The underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon
have been partially revealed during preliminary transcriptional regulation research during this study.
In contrast, S. pombe cells can effectively degrade up to 29 gil L-malic acid via the malo-ethanolic
pathway that converts L-malic acid to pyruvate and CO2, and ultimately to ethanol under fermentative
conditions. A number of reasons for the weak degradation of L-malic acid in Saccharomyces
cerevisiae have been postulated. Firstly, S. cerevisiae lacks the machinery for the active transport of
L-malic acid found in S. pombe and relies on rate-limiting simple diffusion for the uptake of
extracellular L-malic acid. Secondly, the malic enzyme of S. cerevisiae has a significantly lower
substrate affinity for L-malic acid (Km = 50 mM) than that of S. pombe (Km = 3.2 mM), which
contributes to the weaker degradation of L-malic acid in S. cerevisiae. Lastly, the mitochondrial
location of the malic enzyme of S. cerevisiae, in contrast to the cytosolic S. pombe malic enzyme,
suggests that the S. cerevisiae malic enzyme is inherently subject to the regulatory effects of
fermentative metabolism.
The malate permease gene tmael) and the malic enzyme gene (mae2) of S. pombe was therefore
cloned and co-expressed in single or multi-copy under regulation of the constitutive S. cerevisiae
3-phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK1) promoter and terminator sequences in a laboratory strain of
S. cerevisiae. This introduced a strong malo-ethanolic phenotype in S. cerevisiae where L-malic acid
was rapidly and efficiently degraded in synthetic and Chardonnay grape must with the concurrent
production of higher levels of ethanol. Functional expression of the malo-ethanolic pathway genes of
S. pombe in a laboratory strain of S. cerevisiae paved the way for the genetic modification of
industrial wine yeast strains of Saccharomyces for commercial winemaking.
A prerequisite for becoming an inherited component of yeast is the stable integration of the
malo-ethanolic genes into the genome of industrial wine yeast strains. Genetic engineering of wine
yeasts strains of Saccharomyces is, however, complicated by the homothallic, multiple ploidy and prototrophic nature of industrial strains of Saccharomyces. Transformation and integration of
heterologous genes into industrial strains of Saccharomyces require the use of dominant selectable
markers, i.e. antibiotic or toxic compound resistance markers. Integration of these markers into the
yeast genome is, however, not acceptable for commercial application due to the absence of long-term
risk assessment and consumer resistance.
A unique strategy for the integration of the S. pombe mae} and mae2 expression cassettes without the
incorporation of any non-yeast derived DNA sequences was. The malo-ethanolic cassette, containing
the S. cerevisiae PGK} promoter and terminator regions together with the S. pombe mae] and mae2
open reading frames, was integrated into the VRA3 locus of an industrial strain of Saccharomyces
bayanus EC 1118 during co-transformation with a phleomycin-resistance plasmid, pUT332. After
initial screening for phleomycin resistance, S. bayanus EC1118 transformants were cured of the
phleomycin-resistance plasmid, resulting in the loss of non-yeast derived DNA sequences. After
correct integration of the mae] and mae2 expression cassettes was verified, small-scale vinification in
synthetic and Chardonnay grape must with stable transformants resulted in rapid and complete
degradation of L-malic acid during the early stages of alcoholic fermentation. Integration and
expression of the malo-ethanolic genes in S. bayanus ECll18 had no adverse effect on the
fermentation ability of the yeast, while sensory evaluation and chemical analysis of the Chardonnay
wines indicated an improvement in wine flavour compared to the control wines, without the
production of any off-flavours. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: L-Appelsuur en wynsteensuur is die mees prominente organiese sure in wyn en speel 'n kritiese rol in
die wynbereidingsproses en organoleptiese wynkwaliteit, insluitende die fisiese, biochemiese en
mikrobiese stabiliteit van wyn. Die produksie van hoë-kwaliteit wyne berus op die vermoë van 'n
wynmaker om die suurinhoud korrek aan te pas om sodoende 'n gebalanseerde produk met optimale
geur en kleur te produseer.
Saccharomyces rasse kan gewoonlik nie appelsuur volledig tydens alkoholiese gisting benut nie en
dra dus nie noemenswaardig tot 'n verlaging van die totale suurinhoud van wyn by nie. Die mate van
appelsuur afbraak deur Saccharomyces wissel egter van ras tot ras. Sekere Saccharomyces rasse kan
'n groter persentasie appelsuur afbreek, maar die onderliggende rede vir hierdie verskynsel is
onbekend. Die onderliggende meganismes vir hierdie verskynsel is gedurende hierdie studie uitgelig
na afloop van voorlopige transkripsionele regulerings studies op die malaatensiemgeen. In
teenstelling hiermee kan S. pombe tot 29 gIl appelsuur via die malo-alkoholiese padweg afbreek
waartydens appelsuur na pirodruiwesuur en CO2, en uiteindelik na alkoholonder fermentatiewe
toestande omgeskakel word. Verskeie redes vir die swak afbraak van appelsuur deur
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is voorgestel. Eerstens beskik S. cerevisiae nie oor 'n meganisme vir die
aktiewe transport van appelsuur, soos in die geval van S. pombe nie, en is aangewese op die stadige
opname van appelsuur deur eenvoudige diffusie. Tweedens het die S. cerevisiae malaatensiem 'n baie
laer substraataffiniteit vir appelsuur (Km = 50 mM) in vergelyking met die van S. pombe (Km =
3.2 mM), wat verder bydra tot die swak afbraak van appelsuur in S. cerevisiae. Laastens dra die
mitochondriale ligging van die S. cerevisiae malaatensiem in teenstelling met die sitoplasmiese
ligging van die S. pombe malaatensiem, verder by tot die swak afbraak van appelsuur, aangesien die
mitochondria onder fermentatiewe toestande negatief gereguleer word.
Die malaatpermease geen (maely en malaatensiem geen (mae2) van S. pombe is gevolglik gekloneer
en heteroloog in 'n laboratoriumras van S. cerevisiae onder die beheer van die konstitutiewe
3-fosfogliseraat kinase (PGKI) promoter- en termineerdervolgordes uitgedruk. 'n Sterk
malo-alkoholiese fenotipe was duidelik tydens fermentasies met die rekombinante gis in sintetiese en
Chardonnay druiwemos, met 'n gepaardgaande verhoging in alkoholvlakke. Funksionele uitdrukking
van die malo-alkoholiese gene van S. pombe in 'n S. cerevisiae laboratoriumras het die weg vir die
genetiese modifisering van industriële wynrasse van S. cerevisiae vir kommersiële wynfermentasie
gebaan.
Om 'n integrale deel van die gis te word, moet die malo-alkoholiese gene stabiel in die genoom van
industriële wynrasse geïntegreer word. Genetiese manipulering van industriële wynrasse word egter
bemoeilik deur die homotalliese, multi-ploïediese en prototrofiese aard van industriële Saccharomyces rasse. Transformasie en integrasie van heteroloë gene in industriële Saccharomyces
rasse vereis die gebruik van dominante merkers, bv. weerstandbiedendheid teen antibiotika of ander
gifstowwe. Integrasie van hierdie merkers in die gisgenoom is egter nie vir kommersiële toepassing
aanvaarbaar nie weens die afwesigheid van langtermyn risikobepalings en verbruikersweerstand.
Tydens hierdie studie is daar dus gepoog om industriële wynrasse met 'n unieke strategie geneties te
verbeter sodat slegs gis-DNA tydens die integrasie van die S. pombe mae1 en mae2
uitdrukkingskassette in die gisgenoom opgeneem word. Die Malo-alkoholiese integrasiekasset wat
slegs die S. pombe mae1, mae2 oopleesrame en die S. cerevisiae PGK1 promoter en
termineerdervolgordes bevat, is in die URA3 lokus van Saccharomyces bayanus ECll18 geïntegreer
tydens parallelle transformasie met 'n 'phleomycin' weerstandbiedendheidsplasmied. Na seleksie van
transformante op 'phleomycin' -bevattende media, is die S. bayanus EC 1118 transformante in nieselektiewe
kondisies opgegroei sodat verlies van die 'phleomycin' plasmied kon plaasvind. Integrasie
van die mae1 en mae2 uitdrukkingskassette is bevestig en kleinskaalse fermentasies in sintetiese en
druiwemos het 'n vinnige en doeltreffende afbraak van appelsuur in die vroeë fases van die
alkoholiese fermentasie getoon. Integrasie en uitdrukking van die malo-alkoholiese gene in
S. bayanus ECl118 het geen nadelige effek op die fermentasievermoë van die gis getoon nie, terwyl
sensoriese en chemiese ontleding van die Chardonnay wyne 'n verbetering in aroma relatief tot die
kontrole wyne getoon het, met die afwesigheid van enige afgeure.

Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of productivity, production, physicochemical quality of the clusters and berries, and biochemistry of the bark of the grape cultivars Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot grafted on the rootstocks ' IAC 766 ' and ' 106-8 Mgt ' in the low and high spree conduction systems being the experiment conducted at the IAC Fruit Center. The experimental design used for each cultivar canopy was in randomized blocks, in a 2x2 factorial scheme, with 4 replications. The treatments were represented by two conduction systems (low spread and high spread) and two rootstocks (' IAC 766 ' and ' 106-8 Mgt '). The conduction systems in low or high spreads, as well as the rootstocks ' IAC 766 ' and ' 106-8 Mgt ' did not influence the production, productivity and physical quality of the clusters of CV. Syrah. There were few variations in the quality of the grape must of the CV. Syrah, however, the low-spreaded conduction system combined with the use of the rootstock ' IAC 766 ' provides a higher percentage of reducing sugars. Using the rootstock ' 106-8 Mgt ' in the low-spreading conduction system presented higher anthocyanin content. It was observed for the cultivar Syrah, being possible the recommendation of both rootstocks and conduction systems. The CV. Sauvignon Blanc grafted on the rootstock ' 106-8 Mgt ' showed higher production, productivity, number of clusters and berries and greater fresh mass of clusters and antioxidant capacity (DPPH) in the high spreading system, and higher content of polyphenols and Flavonoids in low spreis. The rootstock ' IAC 766 ' provided higher content of reducing sugar and antioxidant capacity (FRAP) and the high scatting system higher content of flavonoids ... / Doutor

Applied and basic aspects of sulfite metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiaePark, Hoon 16 December 1999 (has links)
In an effort to understand the basis for sulfite detoxification in S. cerevisiae,
the functions of two genes were analyzed. SSU1, which encodes a plasma membrane
protein, was found to be required for efficient sulfite efflux. FZFl-4, a dominant
allele of a transcriptional activator of SSUl, was also found to be involved in efficient
sulfite efflux. Analysis of an SSUl promoter-lacZ fusion showed that FZFl-4
conferred sulfite resistance through hyperactivation of SSUl. Efflux assays in cells
expressing multicopy SSUl or FZFl-4 suggested that Ssulp specifically mediates
efflux of the free form of sulfite. Sulfite resistance, mediated by either FZFl-4 or
multicopy SSUl, was found to be a useful marker for selecting transformants of
industrial and laboratory strains of S. cerevisiae. FZFl-4 was found to be more
efficient than multicopy SSUl, and in the case of the laboratory strains, was found to
be about half as efficient a selectable marker as URA3.
Sulfite transport was studied to clarify the mechanism of sulfite uptake in S.
cerevisiae. The kinetics of uptake were saturable, indicating a carrier-mediated
process. Uptake was significantly reduced in cells pretreated with carbonyl cyanide
m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) or 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), both of which
dissipate proton gradients. Extracellular alkalization was observed during sulfite
uptake. These findings suggest that an anionic form of sulfite, HSO₃, is taken up by
carrier-mediated proton symport.
As an alternative to costly disposal of spent cherry brine, a sulfite-containing
waste stream generated during maraschino cherry processing, brine was tested as a
substrate for ethanol production by S. cerevisiae. Initially, the toxic level of sulfite in
brine was reduced by raising brine pH to 8.5 with Ca(OH)₂ to precipitate calcium
sulfite. Because the alkalization was found to result in a 10-fold reduction of
phosphorus, brine was subsequently titrated with phosphoric acid to pH 6.0 prior to
inoculation with S. cerevisiae. All strains of S. cerevisiae tested were able to
efficiently ferment all lots of Ca(OH)₂-treated and phosphorus-enriched brine. / Graduation date: 2000
