Properties of Wine Lactic Acid Bacteria: Their Potential Enological Significance

Davis, Craig R., Wibowo, Djoko, Fleet, Graham H., Lee, Terry H.·1988·American Journal of Enology and Viticulture

Abstract

Lactic acid bacteria isolated from Australian red wines were examined for properties of potential enological significance. Some 166 strains were tested. Strains of Leuconostoc oenos were divided into rough and smooth morphotypes on the basis of colony appearance. Rough morphotypes produced cells arranged in long chains and readily grew in wine. Smooth morphotypes produced cells arranged in pairs or short chains, but most of these strains exhibited poor growth in wine. As tested in API 50CH galleries (pH 6.0), strains of L. oenos, Pediococcus parvulus, and several Lactobacillus species exhibited considerable heterogeneity in their abilities to ferment carbohydrates. The fermentation profile of individual strains was altered when the pH was reduced to 4.0. Strains of L. oenos were more tolerant of low pH than those of P. parvulus or Lactobacillus spp. Strains of P. parvulus and Lactobacillus spp. were more tolerant of high concentrations of ethanol and total sulfur dioxide. None of the strains produced extracellular protease. Lipases were produced by several strains of L. oenos and one strain of Lactobacillus. The majority of strains produced esterases.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
