Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the yeast species that is the most important among enological microorganisms. The main characteristic properties that differ Saccharomyces from other yeasts are high ethanol and sulfur dioxide tolerance. In this study, Emir and Kalecik Karası grape varieties, harvested in vintage were used in traditional wine production. 37 strains were isolated from washing water of grapes, grape juice and samples taken during wine production. Selected Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains were identified by sequence comparison of PCR amplified sequence analysis of the 5.8S internal transcribed spacer (ITS) ribosomal DNA (rDNA) region and carbohydrate fermentation test. Finally isolates were characterized by RAPD-PCR method. The 3 of selected isolates were identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Characterized strains were used as starter cultures while wine making. Aromatic compounds of produced wines were analyzed by GC-MS.

Hydrogen productivities of different photosynthetic bacteria have been searched on real thermophilic dark fermentation effluents (DFE). The results obtained with potato steam peels hydrolysate (PSP) DFE were compared to glucose DFE. Photobiological hydrogen production has been carried out in indoor, batch photobioreactors using several strains of purple non-sulfur (PNS) bacteria such as Rhodobacter capsulatus (DSM1710), Rhodobacter capsulatus hup- (YO3), Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 (DSM5864), Rb. sphaer...
Backbone resonance assignments of a promiscuous aminoglycoside antibiotic resistance enzyme; the aminoglycoside phosphotransferase(3')-IIIa
Serpersu, Engin H.; Özen, Can; Norris, Adrianne L.; Steren, Carlos; Whittemore, Neil (2010-04-01)
The aminoglycoside phosphotransferase(3')-IIIa (APH) is a promiscuous enzyme and renders a large number of structurally diverse aminoglycoside antibiotics useless against infectious bacteria. A remarkable property of this similar to 31 kDa enzyme is in its unusual dynamic behavior in solution; the apo-form of the enzyme exchanges all of its backbone amide protons within 15 h of exposure to D (2) O while aminoglycoside-bound forms retain similar to 40% of the amide protons even after > 90 h of exposure.

Grape must and wine harbors a wide diversity of yeast species responsible for spontaneous alcoholic fermentation and wine aroma. Therefore, the impact of indigenous species and terroir effect on aromatic properties of traditional Turkish wine made from Kalecik Karası, Boğazkere, Öküzgözü, and Dimrit grape varieties collected from three different regions (Ankara, Elazığ and Cappadocia) were investigated, using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 56 compounds were identified and quantifie...
Discovery of non-carbohydrate inhibitors of aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes
Welch, KT; Virga, KG; Whittemore, NA; Özen, Can; Wright, E; Brown, CL; Lee, RE; Serpersu, EH (2005-11-15)
Chemical modification and inactivation of aminoglycosides by many different enzymes expressed in pathogenic bacteria are the main mechanisms of bacterial resistance to these antibiotics. In this work, we designed inhibitors that contain the 1,3-diamine pharmacophore shared by all aminoglycoside antibiotics that contain the 2-deoxystreptamine ring. A discovery library of molecules was prepared by attaching different side chains to both sides of the 1,3-diamine motif. Several of these diamines showed inhibito...
Effects of a bacteriocin-like substance produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris on spoilage strain Lactobacillus fructivorans and various pathogens
YURDUGÜL, SEYHUN; Bozoglu, Faruk (Wiley, 2008-01-01)
Certain lactic acid bacteria present in the natural flora of the wine fermentation medium perform the malolactic fermentation process and other biochemical activities which lead to the formation of the outstanding aroma and bouquet of wine. However, because of the spoilage phenomena caused also by certain lactic cultures, off-odours formed via metabolic side reactions cause severe economic losses in the wine industry. Several control mechanisms were introduced in order to eliminate these spoilage cultures, ...
