Objective
Yeasts belonging to the genus Brettanomyces are responsible for some serious spoilage problems in the wine making industry. Because of its high spoilage potential, there is a demand for a simple, fast and reproducible monitoring method. The earlier the det ection in the wine, the better the chances for winegrowers to prevent further growth and spread to other wine batches. The project will increase the knowledge on Brettanomyce and on the mechanism for off flavour production. A set of complete tools for moni toring will be developed. The project has three main research components: (1) development of new selective media (2) Improvement of molecular techniques based on PCR for detection in laboratories (3) Development of a new diagnostic test kit based on immuno assay probes (ELISA) for easy detection in wineries. The objectives of the project will be reached through the implementation of seven logical phases. During the first work package (WP1), experimentation will be implemented in order to obtain information a bout Brettanomyces and the off flavour production. One major objective of this WP will be to determine if the off flavour production depends on the species, possibly on the strains of Brettanomyces. During the second work package (WP2), research on the sel ective media will be developed. The third work package (WP3) will consist in improving the measurement using PCR probes. Research onthe immunoassay probes will be performed in work package four (WP4). Monoclonal antibodies will be produced for species iden tified in WP 1. The kit of detection will also be developed during this WP. The three different detection techniques will be tested in the work package 5 (WP5). The two other work package concern the dissemination of the project results, the definition of the marketing strategy (WP6) and the management of the project (WP7). The project gathers three SMEs, three end users and four RTD performers from France, Germany and Spain.
