The fermentation capacities were analyzed quantitatively by ethanol determination. One isolated strain (Mi4) was inoculated in culture media (3.0 g/L of yeast extract (Difco Laboratories, Detroit, MI, USA) and 5.0 g/L of proteose peptone No. 3 (Difco Laboratories, Detroit, MI, USA) with different carbon sources: galactose (1%) or lactate (1%) plus galactose (1%) or sucrose (1%) (Sigma Aldrich Chemie, Steinheim, Germany). After seven days the ethanol produced was measured with Enzytec fluid Ethanol purchased from R-Biopharm, Darmstadt, Germany (Cat. No. E5340), following the instructions supplied by the manufacturer.

All strains isolated in this study come from the same industry and are listed in Table 1. In addition, seven reference strains of M. guilliermondii from the Spanish Type Culture Collection (CECT) were included for comparison in the typing study (Table 1), as well as a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain as fermentation control. The culture media used were YMB (Yeast morphology broth), YMA (Yeast morphology agar), and YMAC (YMA plus Chloramphenicol). YMB had 10.0 g/L glucose (Panreac Química, Barcelona, Spain), 5.0 g/L proteose peptone No. 3 (Difco Laboratories, Detroit, MI, USA), 3.0 g/L yeast extract (Difco), and 3.0 g/L malt extract (Difco). The YMA was YMB solidified with 20.0 g/L agar. YMAC was made by adding 0.5 g/L of Chloramphenicol (Sigma Aldrich Chemie, Steinheim, Germany) to YMA. To isolate the strains, 10 g of the samples were suspended in YMB, homogenized in a Stomacher homogenizer, and serial dilutions in saline solution were made. To enumerate the viable cells, two replicas with four drops (50 μL) of an appropriate dilution were inoculated on YMAC, following the modified method of Miles and Misra [11 (link),12 ]. Strains were routinely grown at 28 °C in YMB and maintained on YMA slants at 4 °C.

Unless stated otherwise, At-SPHERE isolates were
cultivated at room temperature on R-2A agar (Sigma-Aldrich) or at 28°C in
R-2A broth (0.5 g yeast extract (Oxoid), 0.5 g Proteose peptone No. 3 (Becton,
Dickinson and Company), 0.5 g Casamino acids (Becton, Dickinson and Company),
0.5 g D-glucose monohydrate (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.5 g starch (from potato, Fluka),
0.3 g sodium pyruvate (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.3 g K2HPO4(AppliChem) and 0.05 g magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (Sigma-Aldrich) dissolved
in 1 L deionized water), both supplemented after sterilization with 0.5% (v/v)
methanol (R-2A+M). Minimal medium was prepared as described previously66 (link) and supplemented with 5 mM
maltose (Fluka). For Leaf374 cultivation, minimal medium agar was supplemented
with vitamins (500 μg L-1 D-pantothenic acid hemi calcium
salt, 100 μg L-1 biotin, 400 μg L-1riboflavin, 400 μg L-1 thiamine HCl, 200 μg
L-1 pyridoxal HCl 150 μg L-1 p-amino benzoic
acid, 200 μg L-1 cobalamin, 50 μg L-1 lipoic
acid, 150 μg L-1 nicotinic acid and 100 μg
L-1 folic acid). For selective growth of Leaf272, R-2A+M was
supplemented with 50 μg mL-1 rifampicin (Sigma-Aldrich), since
this strain has a natural resistance towards this antibiotic.
E. coli BL21 (DE3) gold was cultivated in LB-Lennox at
37°C supplemented with 50 μg mL-1 kanamycin sulfate
(AppliChem).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
