Malolactic fermentation is essential for the quality of red wines and some other wine styles. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation is often driven by Oenococcus oeni, and commercial starters for this purpose are also often of this species. The increasing number of microbial species and inoculation strategies in winemaking has prompted a growing interest in microbial interactions during wine fermentation. Among other interaction mechanisms, extracellular vesicles have been hypothesized to play a role in this context. Extracellular vesicles have already been described and analysed for several wine yeast species. In this work, the production of extracellular vesicles by O. oeni is reported for the first time. The protein content of these extracellular vesicles is also characterised. It shows differences and similarities with the recently described protein content of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, a bacterial species also capable of performing malolactic fermentation of wine (and used sometimes as an alternative starter). This work further contributes to the development of the field of extracellular vesicles in food biotechnology.
