Microbial Ecology at the Nexus of Food Safety and Biotechnology With Ecological Mechanisms, Risks, and Emerging Innovations

International Journal of Food Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Food systems are complex microbial ecosystems in which microorganisms play dual and often contrasting roles as agents of foodborne contamination and as essential drivers of food production and biotechnological innovation. Microbial ecology provides an integrative framework for understanding how microbial interactions, environmental conditions, and ...

Evaluation of the Addition of Yeast Mannoprotein to Oenococcus oeni Starter Cultures to Improve Wine Malolactic Fermentation

Fermentation
Malolactic fermentation (MLF) in wine is driven by the lactic acid bacterium Oenococcus oeni in most cases. Although this bacterium is resistant to wine stress conditions, it often faces difficulties completing MLF.

Using Abscisic Acid and Leaf Removal to Alter the Sensory Properties of Pinot Noir Wine Made From Grapevines With Grapevine Red Blotch Disease

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Grapevine red blotch disease (GRBD) poses economic concerns for the US wine industry due to impacts on fruit and wine quality. This study investigated the impact of two vineyard management techniques, cluster‐zone leaf removal and abscisic acid (ABA) application, to alter the sensory characteristics of Pinot Noir wines made from GRBD‐positive vines ...

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 23: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2025

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of relevant knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Oenococcus oeni strain typification by combination of Multilocus Sequence Typing and Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis analysis

, 2014
Oenococcus oeni is usually the main lactic acid bacteria (LAB) responsible for conducting malolactic fermentation (MLF) in wines. Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) is one of the most common methods used to identify different genotypes among the ...

Influence of succinic acid on Oenococcus oeni and malolactic fermentation

OENO One, 2022
As a consequence of the alcoholic fermentation carried out by yeasts in wine, several compounds can be delivered to the medium, promoting or inhibiting the malolactic fermentation (MLF) and the lactic acid bacteria, mainly Oenococcus oeni.

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 22: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2025

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to assess the safety of microorganisms used in food and feed chains. During the period covered by this Statement, no new information warranted changes to the status of previously recommended QPS taxonomic units.
