Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To investigate the Oenococcus oeni population occurring during spontaneous malolactic fermentation (MLF) of Amarone wine, a peculiar and hostile environment for malolactic bacteria. METHODS AND RESULTS: Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis showed a high level of genetic heterogeneity within the O. oeni population involved in MLF throughout an industrial vinification of Amarone wine. The 13...
