Evaluation of the simultaneous contamination by Dekkera bruxellensis and Lactobacillus fermentum on the alcoholic fermentation: effects of the substrate and forms of control The contaminations by wild yeasts and bacteria are harmful to the fermentative process for fuel ethanol production in Brazil due to the decrease in ethanol yield and increase in the industrial costs by the use of biocides. However, a few studies have been focused in the effects of simultaneous contaminations of wild yeasts and bacteria and the possible interactions among the microorganisms, especially concerning different fermentation substrates and forms of growth control. This work aimed to verify the effect of the substrate (sugar cane juice and molasses) on the development of contaminations by Dekkera bruxellensis yeast and Lactobacillus fermentum bacteria, in co-cultures with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (industrial strain PE-2) and possible forms of growth control of the contaminants (using potassium metabisulphite and addition of ethanol to the acid treatment) without affecting the starter yeast. Tests were carried out in growing conditions (substrate with 4 oBrix, shaken cultures) and cell-recycled fermentation (substrate with 16 oBrix, static cultures). There was interaction among the yeasts and the bacteria when growing in sugarcane juice 4 oBrix. The industrial yeast strain was not affected by the presence of the contaminant microorganisms, however, for D. bruxellensis, the presence of L. fermentum influenced positively the growth, increasing the number of CFU and consequently inhibiting the bacterial growth. In molasses, there was an increase in the growth of L. fermentum when in co-culture with S. cerevisiae. The contaminations influenced the fermentative parameters (pH, total reducing sugars, ethanol, glycerol and cell growth) and the simultaneous contamination by L. fermentum and D. bruxellensis potentiated the effect of the contaminations isolately, both in sugarcane juice as in molasses. The combined effect of pH 2.0 + 13% ethanol in the cell treatment resulted in a significant decrease (90-99%) in the CFU number of D. bruxellensis. The industrial yeast PE-2 was a little affected by the treatment. The growth of the bacteria L. fermentum was affected in all the combinations tested. As the experiments were performed with co-cultures, an influence of a microorganism over the viability of another was observed, depending of the reaction to the treatment. The potassium metabisulphite (PMB), in the range of 200–400 mg/L, was effective to control the growth of D. bruxellensis depending on the culture medium and strain. When added (250 mg/L) to the acidic solution (pH 2.0), a significant effect was observed in mixed cultures, because the inactivation of SO2 by S. cerevisiae most likely protected D. bruxellensis from being damaged by PMB. The physiological response of S. cerevisiae to the presence of PMB may explain the significant decrease in alcohol production. When added to the fermentation medium, PMB resulted in the control but not the death of D. bruxellensis, with less intensive effect on the fermentative efficiency. In co-culture with the addition of PMB, the fermentative efficiency was significantly lower than in the absence of PMB.
