Brettanomyces bruxellensis is a current problem in winemaking all over the world, and the question if B.bruxellensis has a positive or negative impact on wine is one of the most controversial discussions in the world. The presence of live B.bruxellensis cells represents the risk of growth and an increase in cell numbers, which is related to the potential production of volatile phenols. In this work, the optimisation of a PMA-quantitative PCR (qPCR) method to enumerate only viable cells was carried out using the standard strain B.bruxellensis DSMZ 70726.

Abstract

Brettanomyces bruxellensis is a current problem in winemaking all over the world, and the question if B.bruxellensis has a positive or negative impact on wine is one of the most controversial discussions in the world. The presence of live B.bruxellensis cells represents the risk of growth and an increase in cell numbers, which is related to the potential production of volatile phenols. In this work, the optimisation of a PMA-quantitative PCR (qPCR) method to enumerate only viable cells was carried out using the standard strain B.bruxellensis DSMZ 70726. The obtained detection limits were 0.83logCFU/mL in red wine, 0.63logCFU/mL in white wine and 0.23logCFU/mL in beer.Moreover, the quantification was also performed by Reverse Transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), and the results showed a higher detection limit for all of the trials.
