Abstract

International audienceUsing molecular techniques and sequencing, we studied the intraspecific diversity of Oenococcus oeni, a lactic acid bacterium involved in red winemaking. A relationship between the phenotypic and genotypic characterization of 16 O. oeni strains isolated from wine with different levels of enological potential was shown. The study was based on the comparative genomic analysis by subtractive hybridization between two strains of O. oeni with opposite enological potential. The genomic sequences obtained from subtractive hybridization were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced for the 16 strains. A considerable diversity among strains of O. oeni was observed
