Wine yeast
This project established by Bioplatforms Australia in collaboration with the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI) offered groundbreaking insights into the wine industry and other yeast-based manufacturing processes. By employing a systems biology approach, the project comprehensively characterised the industrial yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Through the integration of genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics data, this initiative created new models of fermentation, providing valuable insights for commercial winemaking. Since its inception in 2009, the project has involved intensive collaboration with Bioplatforms Australia’s genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics partners.
Despite the challenges of data integration, the project has generated comprehensive datasets and delivered new and valuable knowledge, offering significant benefits for the wine industry and other yeast-based manufacturing sectors.
OBJECTIVES
Through this program of research, the objectives for the creation of referential multi-‘omics data resources of Australian wine years were to:
-
- Generate comprehensive data: produce and integrate genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics data to achieve a systems-based understanding of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
- Develop new models: use the integrated data to create new models of fermentation.
- Provide industry insights: offer new insights and benefits to the wine industry and other yeast-based manufacturing sectors.
