Wine yeasts produce volatile compounds important for wine quality
Drosophila flies choose a habitat based on volatiles
- Yeast metabolism
– esters – higher alcohols – CO2 – ethanol
- Yeasts are food
- but, yeasts are vectored
Pham & Ray 2015 Scientific Reports
- 1. Do Drosophila species differ in
different parts of the vineyard and winery?
- 2. Are Drosophila associated
with yeasts, and are these species different in the vineyard and winery?
- 3. Are there any special
relationships between wine environment Drosophila and yeasts?
