Fructose was completely depleted during fermentation with Lc. Citreum TR116 and converted to mannitol with high efficiency (>90%) while overall sugar reduction was >25% in all malt worts. Differences in amino acid composition of malt worts did not significantly affect growth of Lc. Citreum TR116 but did affect the formation of the aroma compounds diacetyl and isoamyl alcohol. Organic acid production and acidification of wort was similar across cereal substrates and acetic acid formation was linked to yield of mannitol. The results suggest that differences in amino acid and fructose content of malt worts considerably change metabolite formation during fermentation with Lc. Citreum TR116, a mannitol hyper-producer. This work gives new insight into the development of consumer acceptable malt based beverages which will provide further options for the health conscious and diabetic consumer, an important step in the age of sugar overconsumption. Torulaspora delbrueckii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae are yeast species found concurrently in wine. In order to commence fermentation, they adapt to the initial harsh environment, maintaining cellular homeostasis and promoting metabolism. These actions involve an intricate regulation of stress tolerance, growth and metabolic genes. selleck chemicals llc Their phenotypes are influenced by the fermentation environment and physiological state of the cell, but such gene-environment interactions are poorly understood. This study aimed to compare the cell physiology of the two species, through genome-wide analysis of gene expression, coupling Oxford Nanopore MinION and Illumina Hiseq sequencing platforms. The early transcriptional responses to stress, nutrients and cell-to-cell communication were analysed. Particular attention was given to the fundamental gene modulations, leading to an understanding of the physiological changes needed to maintain cellular homeostasis, exit the quiescent state and establish dominance in the fermentation. Our findings suggest the existence of species-specific adaptation strategies in response to growth in a high sugar synthetic grape juice medium. The correlation between microbiota succession and flavor development in Chinese traditional fermented fish (Suanyu) inoculated with mixed starter cultures was studied. The results showed that 17 free amino acids, 22 free fatty acids and 9 organic acids were present. A total of 81 aroma compounds were detected during Suanyu fermentation. Aldehydes were the most abundant aroma compounds in the early stage of fermentation and esters contributed most to the aroma in the later stage of fermentation. The correlation analysis of microbial succession and flavor dynamics based on bidirectional orthogonal partial least squares (O2PLS) suggested that in addition to starter cultures, other microorganisms including 2 bacteria genera and 11 fungi genera were also responsible for the formation of flavor compounds. These results may help focus further research to improve the flavor quality of traditional fermented fish. The Lactobacillus casei group, which includes the closely related species L. casei, L. paracasei, L. rhamnosus, and L. chiayiensis, has been under debate regarding its taxonomy because of the difficulty in distinguishing the species from each other. In the present study, we developed a novel real-time PCR assay for distinguishing the L. casei group species. The pan-genome, as determined by the genomes of 44 strains, comprised 6789 genes, comparative genomic analysis showed that L. casei group strains were classified by species. Based on these results, species-specific genes were identified, and primers were designed from those genes. Real-time PCR clearly distinguished each species of the L. casei group and specifically amplified only to the target species. The method was applied to 29 probiotic products, and the detected results and label claims were compared. Total 23 products were in accordance with the label
