The baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has become a powerful model in ecology and
evolutionary biology. A global effort on field survey and population genetics and genomics of …

The purpose of this work is to present the archaeological and historical background of
viticulture and winemaking from ancient times to the present day in the Mediterranean basin …

Domestication of plants and animals is the foundation for feeding the world human
population but can profoundly alter the biology of the domesticated species. Here we …

Yeasts, and in particular Saccharomyces cerevisiae, have been used for brewing beer for
thousands of years. Population genomic surveys highlighted that beer yeasts are …

European grapevine is a complex holobiont composed of two plant genomes, that of the
scion (Vitis vinifera L.) and the rootstock (Vitis spp.), and a multitude of microbial genomes …

Wine yeast have been exposed to harsh conditions for millennia, which have led to adaptive
evolutionary strategies. Thus, wine yeasts from Saccharomyces genus are considered an …

The goal of this study was to evaluate how grape composition modifications linked to
maturity level could affect the wine ester composition and aromatic expression. An …

Insects interact with a wide variety of yeasts, often providing a suitable substrate for their
growth. Some yeast–insect interactions are tractable models for understanding the …

People have harnessed beneficial microbes to preserve, protect, and improve food for
thousands of years. However, the significance and techniques of food fermentation are …

Sterols are a fraction of the eukaryotic lipidome that is essential for the maintenance of cell
membrane integrity and its good functionality. During alcoholic fermentation, they enhance …
