title: Construction of a genetically modified wine yeast strain expressing the Aspergillus aculeatus rhaA gene, encoding an alpha-L-rhamnosidase of enological interest.
abstract: The Aspergillus aculeatus rhaA gene encoding an alpha-L-rhamnosidase has been expressed in both laboratory and industrial wine yeast strains. Wines produced in microvinifications, conducted using a combination of the genetically modified industrial strain expressing rhaA and another strain expressing a beta-glucosidase, show increased content mainly of the aromatic compound linalool.
