Abstract

With the objective to isolate phages infecting wine bacterial spoilers, we designed a method for the isolation and purification of phages infecting grape-associated bacteria. The method proved successful to isolate GC1 tectivirus infecting the acetic acid bacterium Gluconobacter cerinus. The isolated phage represents a new genus within the Tectiviridae, named "Gammatectivirus". Using a traditional technique for the concentration of phage particles involving several steps of centrifugation, further insights in the ultrastructure of GC1 could be observed by cryo electron microscopy, saving time and effort. The simple workflow presented may be applied to other viruses infecting bacteria inhabiting other vegetal niches.

Background

Winemaking is a complex and fluctuating environment that is characterized by the temporal succession of distinct communities of microorganisms. The wine-making process starts with the selection of the fruit and the fermentation of sugars into alcohol by yeasts. In most red and dry white wines, this step is followed by a malolactic fermentation, which reduces acidity, increases microbial stability, and creates good-quality grape wine. In contrast to other food fermentations, little knowledge is so far available on the diversity of viruses infecting bacteria, also known as bacteriophages or phages, in the enological ecosystem (de Melo et al., 2018). However, grapes, and more globally the whole fermentation process, are an interesting crossroad between different ecosystems (insect, plant and its rhizosphere, soil and human), and may turn out to represent a valuable source for genome innovation for phages and their bacterial hosts. From the technological point of view, the characterization of phages from the enological niche could also represent an eco-friendly alternative to chemicals to limit bacterial spoilage during wine-making. Among established wine spoilers, acetic acid bacteria (AAB) negatively affect wine quality because of their ability to increase the volatile acidity of wine by the production of acetic acid among other compounds (Du Toit and Pretorius, 2000; De Roos and De Vuyst, 2018). Here, we detail a simple method for the screening and isolation of phages infecting AAB, that can be applied to other fruits (Philippe et al., 2018). Phage particles from small-scale production were concentrated by centrifugation, and time-consuming steps involving PEG precipitation or CsCl gradients were avoided. Cryo electron microscopy (cryo-EM) (Cuervo and Carrascosa, 2018) provided high resolution and distinctive features in the ultratructure of tectiviruses were visible.
