RT Journal Article T1 Evaluation of malolactic bacteria associated with wines from Albariño variety as potential starters: screening for quality and safety A1 López Seijas, Jacobo A1 García Fraga, Belén A1 Fernández da Silva, Abigaíl A1 Zas García, Xavier A1 Carballeira Lois, Lucía A1 Gago Martínez, Ana María Consuelo A1 Leao Martins, José Manuel A1 Sieiro Vázquez, María del Carmen K1 3309.90 Microbiología de Alimentos K1 3309 Tecnología de Los Alimentos AB The biodiversity of lactic acid bacteria in musts and wines of Albariño variety has been studied. The identification of species was addressed through a combination of biochemical and genetic methods (API® 50 CHL test, 16S rDNA and recA gene sequences, Amplified Ribosomal DNA Restriction Analysis -ARDRA- and 16S-26S intergenic region analysis). The results grouped the isolates into six species predominating those of the genus Lactobacillus and showing a typical biogeographical distribution. Among sixteen strains evaluated, eight of them showed malolactic activity. The study of the presence of genes hdc, odc, and tdc, along with the LC/MS-MS analysis of biogenic amines in wine, showed five strains lacking aminogenic ability. The absence of the pad gene in the above-mentioned strains discards its ability to produce volatile phenols that may adversely affect the aroma. Finally, all malolactic strains showed β-glucosidase activity so that they could contribute to enhance and differentiate the aromatic profile of Albariño wines.
