We study the ecology and evolution of yeasts as well as the genetic bases of traits involved in bakery process and oenology fermentation. Scientific responsables: Delphine Sicard and Virginie Galeote
The goals of our researches can be organized in 4 axes:
Genetic basis of phenotypic traits in S. cerevisiae and effect of the environment on population dynamics and fermentation dynamics.
Our research is focused on the detection of QTLs, X-QTLs, eQTLs, fQTLs which explain phenotypic variations such as fermentation rate, duration of the latency phase, responses to nutritional limitations (namely lipid and nitrogen deficiencies), aromas and sulphites production, life history traits (viability, growth rate, .etc..) and fitness. We also develop experimental evolution approaches that allow us to identify candidate genes involved in these phenotypes. Genome editing approaches are used to validate the candidate genes. Finally, we study genotype x environment interactions, for example the impact of phytosterols or dipeptide composition on the expression of genes of interest. These studies concern mainly the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Projects: CASDAR NITROGENES, ANR ENZINVIVO, ITN AROMAGENESIS, ITN YEASTDOC, AIC IPSO PhD students and post-docs: Carmen Becerra, Irene de Guidi, Alexandre Chamas, Marta Avramova, Amandine Deroite
Evolutionary history of domesticated yeasts
We seek to trace the evolutionary history of oenology and bakery yeasts through population genomics approaches. Particular interest is also given to the characterization of adaptation mechanisms (horizontal gene transfer, functional analysis of loci under selection, etc ...) by comparative genomic, genetic and functional genomic approaches. These studies concern both the model species Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other yeast species present in grape must (Hanseniaspora uvarum and Hanseniaspora opuntia) or in bread sourdoughs (Kazachstania bulderi and Kazachstania humilis). We also work on ancient wines and breads in collaboration with archaeologists. Projects: ANR BAKERY, ANR VINICULTURE
Dynamic and evolution of microbial communities
Our projects aim to characterize the taxonomic and functional diversity of microbial species in grape must and bread sourdoughs, to explore the factors (terroir, grape variety / wheat variety, practices) that influence them and to analyze the microbial flux from the field to the fermented product. We are also interested in the evolutionary dynamics of microbial communities and the evolution of genetic diversity of particular species in a context of microbial community. Project: ANR BAKERY, ANR PEAKYEAST, FdF "Gluten: myth or reality II", MEM METABAR-FOOD PhD student (s): Elisa Michel, Lucas Von Gastrow, Jean-Nicolas Jasmin, Sonia Boudaoud
Emerging properties of microbial interactions
Through the construction of simplified microbial communities, we aim to understand what is the nature of Yeast / Yeast and Yeast / Bacteria interactions (competition, mutualism, commensalism, amensalism, etc.) in fermented food ecosystem. We would like to understand what are the emerging properties associated with the assembly of species and their complexity. This axis applies to wine and bread ecosystems. Projects: INRA ModOeno, MEM ENovFood
In terms of finalized objectives, our activities aim to:
Optimize the control of fermentation processes
Improve Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains for wine-making
Construct mixed microbial starter
Conserve microbial biodiversity involved in fermented products and the associated know-how
Several approaches are used:
QTLs, xQTLs, eQTLs, fQTLs
Experimental evolution
Genome editing
Comparative genomics, Population genomics, and Metagenomics
