Description

NOUVELLES SOUCHES DE LEVURE DE PANIFICATION NEW BREEDING YEAST STRAINS
DOMAINE DE L'INVENTIONFIELD OF THE INVENTION
La présente invention est relative à de nouvelles souches de levure de panification, également appelée levure de boulangerie, performantes sur pâtes sans sucre et sur pâtes légèrement sucrées.The present invention relates to new strains of baker's yeast, also called baker's yeast, performing on sugar-free pasta and slightly sweet pasta.
ARRIERE-PLAN TECHNOLOGIQUE Dans les farines, la source majoritaire de glucides pour la levure est le maltose provenant du clivage de l'amidon par les amylases. Cependant, les levures de boulangerie ne métabolisent pas directement le maltose. Le maltose entre dans la levure par transport actif via une maltoperméase et est ensuite clivé en deux molécules de glucose par une enzyme intracellulaire, la maltase. Les glucides immédiatement utilisables par la levure, notamment des sucres simples de type glucose ou saccharose, représentent seulement 1% à 1,5% en masse des farines classiques.BACKGROUND ART In flours, the major source of carbohydrates for yeast is maltose resulting from the cleavage of starch by amylases. However, baker's yeasts do not directly metabolize maltose. Maltose enters the yeast by active transport via a maltopermase and is then cleaved into two glucose molecules by an intracellular enzyme, maltase. The carbohydrates immediately usable by yeast, in particular glucose or sucrose-type simple sugars, represent only 1% to 1.5% by weight of conventional flours.
Un système de répression par le glucose de l'expression des gènes codant la maltoperméase et la maltase est observé dans des souches de levure qualifiées de « souches lentes ».A glucose repression system for the expression of the genes encoding maltopene and maltase is observed in yeast strains termed "slow strains".
Chez ces souches lentes, la présence de sucres simples de type glucose ou saccharose dans la farine induit notamment une répression de l'activité maltase. Ces levures fermentent dans un premier temps les sucres simples de type glucose ou saccharose présents dans la farine.In these slow strains, the presence of simple glucose or sucrose type sugars in the flour induces in particular a suppression of the maltase activity. These yeasts initially ferment glucose or sucrose type simple sugars present in the flour.
Lorsque ces sucres simples sont entièrement consommés, les levures ne sont pas équipées en maltoperméase et en maltase pour faire entrer le maltose dans la cellule et le dégrader en glucose. Ceci se traduit par une diminution du volume de CO2 produit par la levure. Cette diminution du volume de CO2 correspond au temps de mise en place par la levure du système de dégradation du maltose, après induction de l'expression des gènes de la maltoperméase et de la maltase par le maltose.When these simple sugars are completely consumed, the yeasts are not equipped with maltopase and maltase to bring the maltose into the cell and degrade it into glucose. This results in a decrease in the volume of CO 2 produced by the yeast. This decrease in CO 2 volume corresponds to the yeast establishment time of the maltose degradation system, after induction of maltose and maltase gene expression by maltose.
Chez les souches de levure dites « rapides >\, il existe une dérégulation du métabolisme du maltose, appelée également « non répression ήn présence de glucose », qui se traduit par l'existence d'une activité maltoperméase et maltas'e en présence de glucose.In so-called "fast" yeast strains, there is a dysregulation of maltose metabolism, also called "non-repression in the presence of glucose", which results in the existence of a maltopety and maltase activity in the presence of glucose.
Dans le secteur de la panification, il y a un besoin continuel de disposer de nouvelles souches de levure permettant de produire des levures de boulangerie sous différentes formes, avec des rendements et des forces fermentatiyes optimaux, lesdites levures étant performantes sur différents types de pâte. De telles souches présentent notamment des avantages en production industrielle où un nombre limité de souches peut ainsi être utilisé. 008/001193In the breadmaking sector, there is a continuing need for new yeast strains for producing baker's yeasts in various forms, with optimal yields and fermentatious forces, said yeasts being effective on different types of dough. Such strains in particular have advantages in industrial production where a limited number of strains can thus be used. 008/001193

11 reste cependant difficile de sélectionner des souches possédant des propriétés optimales à tous les niveaux et un paramètre est souvent amélioré au détriment d'un autre.However, it remains difficult to select strains with optimal properties at all levels and one parameter is often improved to the detriment of another.
Une souche de levure de boulangerie de référence utilisée par la Société Demanderesse depuis de nombreuses années est la souche déposée à la NCYC {National Collection ofYeast Cultures) sous le numéro NCYC995. Cette souche qui fait l'objet du brevet US 4396 632 permet notamment la production de levures de boulangerie avec d'excellents rendements de croissance. Cependant, bien qu'étant une souche rapide, le niveau d'induction de l'activité maltase en présence de maltose et la force fermentative de la souche NCYC995 ne sont pas optimaux par rapport à ceux d'autres souches de levure qui sont toutefois des souches lentes et / ou qui ne sont pas adaptées à des applications sur pâte sans sucre ou légèrement sucrée. Par exemple, la souche déposée le 22 mars 2000 à la CNCM sous le numéro 1-2412 présente un fort niveau d'induction de l'activité maltase en présence de maltose, mais il s'agit d'une souche lente et qui n'est pas adaptée à des panifications sur pâte sans sucre.A reference baker's yeast strain used by the Applicant Company for many years is the strain deposited at the NCYC (National Collection of Yeast Cultures) under the number NCYC995. This strain, which is the subject of US Pat. No. 4,396,632, makes it possible in particular to produce baker's yeasts with excellent growth yields. However, although a rapid strain, the level of induction of maltase activity in the presence of maltose and the fermentative strength of strain NCYC995 are not optimal compared to those of other yeast strains which are, however, slow strains and / or which are not suitable for applications on sugar-free or slightly sweet dough. For example, the strain deposited on March 22, 2000 at the CNCM under the number 1-2412 has a high level of induction of maltase activity in the presence of maltose, but it is a slow strain that does not is not suitable for breadmaking on sugar-free dough.
Il existe donc un besoin pour des souches de levure qui fermentent rapidement les sucres grâce à une non répression de l'activité maltase en présence de glucose et/ou une induction de l'activité maltase en présence de maltose optimales, lesdites souches ayant une force fermentative améliorée. RESUME DE L'INVENTIONThere is therefore a need for yeast strains which rapidly ferment the sugars by non-repression of the maltase activity in the presence of glucose and / or an induction of the maltase activity in the presence of optimal maltose, said strains having a strength fermentative improved.

The new yeast strains according to the invention make it possible in particular to obtain yeasts having an improved fermentative activity.
Les avantages des souches selon l'invention se manifestent en particulier quand les levures de boulangerie obtenues par culture desdites souches sont utilisées comme agent de fermentation dans des pâtes sans sucre ou légèrement sucrées, et contenant éventuellement un inhibiteur de moisissures tel qu'un acide organique faible et/ou un des ses sels.The advantages of the strains according to the invention are particularly apparent when the baker's yeasts obtained by culturing said strains are used as a fermentation agent in sugar-free or slightly sweet pastes, and optionally containing a mold inhibitor such as an organic acid. low and / or one of its salts.
Trois nouvelles souches de Saccharomyces cerevisiae ainsi obtenues ont été déposées le 21 août 2007 en vertu du traité de Budapest auprès de la CNCM (Collection Nationale de Cultures de Micro-organismes, Institut Pasteur, 25 rue du Docteur Roux, F-75724 Paris Cedex 15, France) sous les numéro 1-3796, 1-3797 et 1-3798.Three new strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae thus obtained were deposited on 21 August 2007 under the Budapest Treaty at the CNCM (National Collection of Cultures of Microorganisms, Institut Pasteur, 25 rue du Docteur Roux, F-75724 Paris Cedex 15 , France) under the numbers 1-3796, 1-3797 and 1-3798.
Les souches de levure, objet de l'invention, ont été obtenues par croisements de souches ayant différents profils d'induction de l'activité maltase en présence de maltose et de répression de l'activité maltase en présence de glucose, l'objectif étant de sélectionner les souches possédant le meilleur niveau d'induction en présence de maltose, une non répression en présence de glucose caractéristique d'une souche rapide et la capacité de produire des levures avec un bon rendement, lesdites levures ayant une force fermentative supérieure à celle de levures issues de la souche de référence de la Société Demanderesse déposée sous le numéro NCYC995.The yeast strains, object of the invention, were obtained by crosses of strains having different profiles of induction of maltase activity in the presence of maltose and suppression of the maltase activity in the presence of glucose, the objective being to select the strains having the best level of induction in the presence of maltose, a non-repression in the presence of glucose characteristic of a fast strain and the ability to produce yeasts with a good yield, said yeasts having a fermentative force greater than that of yeasts from the reference strain of the applicant company filed under the number NCYC995.
Le programme de sporulation et de croisement a été réalisé selon les techniques classiques, comme celles enseignées dans le chapitre 7 « Sporulation and Hydridization of Yeast » par R.R. Fowell, de l'ouvrage de référence « The Yeasts », Volume 1, édité par A.H. Rosé et J. S. Harrison, 1969- Académie Press.The sporulation and crossover program was carried out using standard techniques, such as those taught in Chapter 7 "Sporulation and Hydridization of Yeast" by RR Fowell, in the reference book "The Yeasts", Volume 1, edited by AH Rosé and JS Harrison, 1969- Academy Press.

Rendement et force fermentative après culture sur plaque de mélasse : - rendement de la souche après culture sur plaque de mélasse supérieur ou égal à 90% du rendement obtenu avec la souche NCYC995,2. Yield and fermentative strength after culture on molasses plate: strain yield after culture on molasses plate greater than or equal to 90% of the yield obtained with strain NCYC995,
- force fermentative de la souche après culture sur plaque de mélasse supérieure ou égale à celle de la souche NCYC995, 3.

La présélection des souches après culture sur plaque de mélasse permet d'éliminer les souches ayant un rendement trop faible par rapport à la souche de référence et / ou une force fermentative trop faible par rapport à la souche de référence. En effet, la culture sur plaque de mélasse est plus facilement mise en œuvre qu'une culture semi-continue.The preselection of the strains after culture on molasses plate makes it possible to eliminate the strains having a yield too low compared to the reference strain and / or a fermentative force too weak compared to the reference strain. Indeed, the molasses plate culture is more easily implemented than a semi-continuous culture.
Afin de se rapprocher des conditions industrielles pour évaluer les capacités des souches, une sélection des souches présélectionnées est effectuée sur les mêmes critères, à savoir le rendement et la force fermentative, mais après une culture semi-continue. Le niveau d'induction de l'activité maltase est défini ici comme l'activité maltase en présence de maltose et en l'absence de glucose.In order to get closer to the industrial conditions for evaluating the capacities of the strains, a selection of the preselected strains is carried out on the same criteria, namely the yield and the fermentative force, but after a semi-continuous culture. The level of induction of maltase activity is defined here as maltase activity in the presence of maltose and in the absence of glucose.
Par la suite, l'expression « activité maltase en condition d'induction » implique la présence de maltose et l'absence de glucose.Subsequently, the expression "maltase activity under induction conditions" implies the presence of maltose and the absence of glucose.
Le niveau de répression de l'activité maltase est défini ici comme l'activité maltase en présence de glucose et en l'absence de maltose.The level of suppression of maltase activity is defined here as maltase activity in the presence of glucose and in the absence of maltose.
Par la suite, l'expression « activité maltase en condition de répression » implique la présence de glucose et l'absence de maltose.Subsequently, the expression "maltase activity under repression" implies the presence of glucose and the absence of maltose.
Un niveau de non répression de l'activité maltase meilleur que la souche de référence déposée sous le numéro NCYC995 correspond à une activité maltase en présence de glucose supérieure à celle de ladite souche de référence.A level of non-repression of the maltase activity better than the reference strain deposited under the number NCYC995 corresponds to a maltase activity in the presence of glucose greater than that of said reference strain.
L'activité maltase en présence de maltose des souches de levure selon l'invention est de préférence augmentée d'au moins 20%, notamment au moins 30%, notamment au moins 40%, notamment au moins 50%, et notamment au moins 60% par rapport à celle de la souche NCYC995.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, l'activité maltase en présence de glucose des souches de levure selon l'invention est augmentée d'au moins 10%, de préférence au moins 20% et encore de préférence au moins 30% par rapport à celle de la souche NCYC995.In a preferred embodiment, the maltase activity in the presence of glucose of the yeast strains according to the invention is increased by at least 10%, preferably at least 20% and more preferably at least 30% relative to that of strain NCYC995.
L'activité maltase est mesurée par des techniques classiques connues de l'homme du métier.Maltase activity is measured by standard techniques known to those skilled in the art.
En particulier, l'activité maltase peut être mesurée par dosage de la libération d'un produit coloré, le p-nitrophénol, suite à l'action de la maltase sur un substrat chromogénique, le p-nitrophényl-α-D-glucopyranoside, comme décrit dans Houghton-Larsen et Anders Brandt, Appl. Environ. Microbiol., 2006, p 7176-7182. Avant le dosage de l'activité maltase, les levures sont mises en incubation, notamment pendant 4 heures, dans un milieu contenant du glucose pour la mesure de la répression de l'activité maltase ou contenant du maltose pour la mesure de l'induction de l'activité maltase. Par « rendement », on désigne ici le rendement de croissance des levures. Le rendement est obtenu en faisant le rapport de la masse de levure produite sur la masse de sucre consommé. Le rendement peut être évalué après culture sur plaque de mélasse ou culture semi-continue (fed-batch), comme décrit dans le livre de référence « Yeast Technology », 2ème édition, 1991, G. Reed et T. W. Nagodawithana, publié par Van Nostrand Reinhold, ISBN 0-442-31892-8.In particular, the maltase activity can be measured by assaying the release of a colored product, p-nitrophenol, following the action of maltase on a chromogenic substrate, p-nitrophenyl-α-D-glucopyranoside, as described in Houghton-Larsen and Anders Brandt, Appl. About. Microbiol., 2006, p 7176-7182. Before the assay of the maltase activity, the yeasts are incubated, in particular for 4 hours, in a medium containing glucose for the measurement of the suppression of the maltase or maltose-containing activity for the measurement of the induction of maltase activity. maltase activity. By "yield" is meant yeast growth yield. The yield is obtained by making the ratio of the mass of yeast produced on the mass of sugar consumed. The yield can be evaluated after culture on molasses plate or fed-batch culture, as described in the reference book "Yeast Technology", 2nd edition, 1991, G. Reed and TW Nagodawithana, published by Van Nostrand Reinhold, ISBN 0-442-31892-8.
De manière avantageuse, les souches selon l'invention permettent de produire des levures avec un rendement supérieur ou égal au rendement obtenu avec la souche NCYC995.Advantageously, the strains according to the invention make it possible to produce yeasts with a yield greater than or equal to the yield obtained with the strain NCYC995.
La force fermentative correspond au volume de CO2 (en ml) produit par la levure en fermentation dans des pâtons de farine. La force fermentative est mesurée par des techniques classiques connues de l'homme du métier, notamment au moyen d'un fermentomètre comme décrit par Burrows et Harrison dans « Journal of the Institute of Brewing », Vol 65, 1959. En particulier, la force fermentative est mesurée selon des tests décrits dans EPO5111O8 etThe fermentative force corresponds to the volume of CO 2 (in ml) produced by the fermenting yeast in dough pieces of flour. The fermentative force is measured by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art, in particular by means of a fermentometer as described by Burrows and Harrison in "Journal of the Institute of Brewing", Vol 65, 1959. In particular, the force fermentative is measured according to tests described in EPO5111O8 and

La force fermentative traduit l'activité fermentative du glucose, étant entendu que le maltose et le saccharose sont toujours fermentes sous forme de glucose ou fructose.US5741695 in the name of the applicant. The fermentative force reflects the fermentative activity of glucose, with the understanding that maltose and sucrose are always fermented as glucose or fructose.
La force fermentative peut être mesurée sur des levures obtenues par culture des souches sur plaque de mélasse ou culture semi-continue (fed-batch).The fermentative force can be measured on yeasts obtained by culture of strains on molasses plate or semi-continuous culture (fed-batch).

La force fermentative des levures obtenues après culture des souches selon l'invention sur plaque de mélasse est supérieure ou égale à celle obtenue avec la souche NCYC995.The fermentative force is preferably measured on fresh yeasts. The fermentative force of the yeasts obtained after culture of the strains according to the invention on a molasses plate is greater than or equal to that obtained with the strain NCYC995.

De manière avantageuse, les souches de levure selon l'invention permettent de produire des levures performantes sur pâtes sans sucre ou légèrement sucrées, additionnées ou non d'inhibiteurs de moisissures, comme les acides organiques faibles et/ou leurs sels.Advantageously, the yeast strains according to the invention make it possible to produce high performance yeasts on sugar-free or slightly sweet pastes, with or without addition of mold inhibitors, such as weak organic acids and / or their salts.
Une pâte sans sucre est une pâte dans laquelle il n'a pas été ajouté de sucre. Dans une pâte sans sucre, les sucres présents proviennent de la farine.A sugar-free dough is a dough in which no sugar has been added. In sugar-free dough, the sugars present come from the flour.
L'expression « pâte légèrement sucrée » désigne des pâtes ayant une teneur en sucre ajouté inférieure ou égale à 12%, notamment inférieure ou égale à 10%, notamment inférieure ou égale à 6%, notamment inférieure ou égale à 5%, notamment inférieure ou égale à 3% en masse par rapport à la masse de la farine.The expression "slightly sweet dough" refers to doughs having an added sugar content of less than or equal to 12%, in particular less than or equal to 10%, in particular less than or equal to 6%, in particular less than or equal to 5%, in particular lower or equal to 3% by weight relative to the mass of the flour.

L'activité feπnentative peut être évaluée en panification par une mesure du temps d'apprêt (proof time). Le temps d'apprêt est une mesure couramment utilisée dans le domaine de la panification. Il est défini comme le temps nécessaire pour que la pâte boulangère atteigne une certaine hauteur dans le moule correspondant au développement de la pâte souhaitée pour qu'elle soit mise au four.The feπnentative activity can be evaluated in breadmaking by a measurement of the proof time. Primer time is a measure commonly used in the field of breadmaking. It is defined as the time required for the baking dough to reach a certain height in the mold corresponding to the development of the desired dough so that it is placed in the oven.
Grâce aux levures produites par les différentes souches de levure selon l'invention, le temps d'apprêt, mesuré dans différentes recettes panaires, se trouve diminué.Thanks to the yeasts produced by the various yeast strains according to the invention, the primer time, measured in different panary recipes, is decreased.

Par l'expression « souche dérivée », on désigne une souche dérivée par toute transformation quelle qu'elle soit, comme par exemple par un ou plusieurs croisements et/ou par mutation et/ou par transformation génétique.By the term "derived strain" is meant a strain derived from any transformation whatsoever, such as for example by one or more crosses and / or by mutation and / or by genetic transformation.
Une souche dérivée par croisement peut être obtenue par croisement d'une souche selon l'invention avec la même souche, ou une autre souche selon l'invention, ou une autre souche quelconque, par exemple la souche NCYC995. Une souche dérivée par mutation peut être une souche qui a subi au moins une mutation spontanée dans son génome ou au moins une mutation induite, par exemple par mutagenèse. La ou les mutations de la souche dérivée sont silencieuses ou non.A strain derived by crossing can be obtained by crossing a strain according to the invention with the same strain, or another strain according to the invention, or any other strain, for example the strain NCYC995. A mutation-derived strain may be a strain that has undergone at least one spontaneous mutation in its genome or at least one induced mutation, for example by mutagenesis. The mutation (s) of the derived strain are silent or not.
Par l'expression « mutagenèse », on désigne à la fois la mutagenèse classique obtenue par rayonnements, par exemple par l'utilisation d'UV, ou par des agents chimiques mutagènes et la mutagenèse insertionnelle par transposition ou par intégration d'un fragment d'ADN exogène. La mutagenèse par rayonnements comprend l'utilisation de rayonnements UV, X, ou gamma. Les agents chimiques mutagènes sont par exemple l'EMS (éthyl-méthyl sulfonate), 1ΕES (éthyl-éthyl sulfonate), la nitrosoguanidine, l'acide nitreux, Pafiatoxine Bl, Phydroxyl aminé, la 5-bromo uracile, la 2-amino purine, la proflavine, l'acridine orange. Une souche dérivée par transformation génétique est une souche dans laquelle a été introduit un ADN exogène. Cet ADN exogène est de préférence apporté par un plasmide ou intégré directement dans le génome. L'invention vise encore les procédés de transformation d'une souche telle que définie ci-dessus, ledit procédé comprenant une étape de transformation de ladite souche par mutagenèse ou par transformation génétique.By the expression "mutagenesis" is meant both conventional mutagenesis obtained by radiation, for example by the use of UV, or by mutagenic chemical agents and insertional mutagenesis by transposition or by integration of a fragment of Exogenous DNA. Radiation mutagenesis includes the use of UV, X, or gamma radiation. The mutagenic chemical agents are, for example, EMS (ethyl-methyl sulfonate), 1ES (ethyl ethyl sulfonate), nitrosoguanidine, nitrous acid, Aflatoxin B1, hydroxyl amine, 5-bromo-uracil, 2-amino-purine , proflavine, acridine orange. A strain derived by genetic transformation is a strain into which exogenous DNA has been introduced. This exogenous DNA is preferably provided by a plasmid or integrated directly into the genome. The invention is further directed to methods of transforming a strain as defined above, said method comprising a step of transforming said strain by mutagenesis or by genetic transformation.
La présente invention concerne en particulier des souches susceptibles d'être obtenues par le procédé de transformation défini ci-dessus.In particular, the present invention relates to strains obtainable by the transformation method defined above.
La présente invention a également pour objet un nouveau procédé de sélection de souches de panification qui comporte une combinaison originale d'étapes et qui permet de sélectionner rapidement des souches de levure ayant le profil souhaité.The present invention also relates to a novel process for selecting bread-making strains which comprises an original combination of steps and which makes it possible to quickly select yeast strains having the desired profile.
De manière surprenante, la Société Demanderesse a mis en évidence que les souches de levure industrielle présentent des profils d'activité maltase très différents entre elles, à la fois en conditions d'induction et de répression. Par exemple, parmi les deux souches lentes NCYC996 et CNCM 1-2412, la première a un niveau d'induction en présence de maltose très faible (bien inférieur à celui de la souche rapide NCYC995), alors que le niveau d'induction de la deuxième est très élevé (voir figure 1). De manière plus surprenante encore, la Société Demanderesse a mis en évidence qu'un procédé de sélection comportant une étape de sélection des souches sur la base de l'activité maltase permet de sélectionner des souches qui donnent des levures avec une activité fermentative améliorée. Cette étape de sélection sur la base de l'activité maltase consiste à sélectionner des souches dont l'activité maltase est faiblement réprimée en présence de glucose et fortement induite en présence de maltose.Surprisingly, the Applicant Company has demonstrated that industrial yeast strains have maltase activity profiles that are very different from each other, both under induction and repression conditions. For example, of the two slow strains NCYC996 and CNCM 1-2412, the first has an induction level in the presence of very low maltose (much lower than that of the fast strain NCYC995), whereas the level of induction of second is very high (see Figure 1). Even more surprisingly, the Applicant Company has demonstrated that a selection process comprising a step of selecting the strains on the basis of the maltase activity makes it possible to select strains which give yeasts with an improved fermentative activity. This selection step on the basis of the maltase activity consists in selecting strains whose maltase activity is weakly repressed in the presence of glucose and strongly induced in the presence of maltose.
Le procédé de sélection selon l'invention permet, de plus, la sélection de souches de levure de panification qui possèdent un bon rendement.The selection process according to the invention allows, in addition, the selection of yeast strains of bread making which have a good yield.
La présente invention a ainsi pour objet un procédé de sélection de souches de levure de panification améliorées comprenant les étapes suivantes : - une étape de sporulation et d'hybridation de souches de levure et/ou de mutagenèse de souches de levure, pour obtenir des souches hybrides et/ou mutées, une première étape de sélection des souches hybrides et/ou mutées qui ont : o une activité maltase en présence de maltose supérieure à celle de la soucheThe present invention thus relates to a method for selecting improved bread yeast strains comprising the following steps: a stage of sporulation and hybridization of yeast strains and / or mutagenesis of yeast strains, to obtain strains of yeast hybrid and / or mutated, a first step of selection of hybrid and / or mutated strains which have: maltase activity in the presence of maltose greater than that of the strain
NCYC995, et o une activité maltase en présence de glucose supérieure ou égale à 50% de l'activité maltase de la souche NCYC995, pour obtenir des souches ayant une activité maltase améliorée, éventuellement, une étape de présélection, parmi les souches ayant une activité maltase améliorée, des souches donnant, après culture sur plaque de mélasse, des levures qui présentent : o un rendement supérieur ou égal à 90% du rendement obtenu avec la souche NCYC995, et o une force fermentative supérieure ou égale à celle de la souche NCYC995, et une seconde étape de sélection, parmi les souches ayant une activité maltase améliorée et/ou les souches obtenues à l'étape précédente, des souches donnant, après culture semi-continue, des levures qui présentent : o un rendement supérieur ou égal à 90% du rendement obtenu avec la soucheNCYC995, and o maltase activity in the presence of glucose greater than or equal to 50% of the maltase activity of the NCYC995 strain, to obtain strains with improved maltase activity, possibly a preselection step, among the strains having an activity. improved maltase, strains giving, after culture on molasses plate, yeasts which have: a yield greater than or equal to 90% of the yield obtained with the strain NCYC995, and a fermentative force greater than or equal to that of the strain NCYC995, and a second step of selection, among the strains having an improved maltase activity and / or the strains obtained in the preceding step, strains giving, after semi-continuous culture; , yeasts which show: o a yield greater than or equal to 90% of the yield obtained with the stump
NCYC995, et o une force fermentative supérieure à celle de la souche NCYC995, pour obtenir des souches de levure de panification améliorées.NCYC995, and o a fermentative force greater than that of the NCYC995 strain, to obtain improved bread yeast strains.
La mutagenèse de souches de levure est notamment réalisée par les techniques décrites ci-dessus.The mutagenesis of yeast strains is in particular carried out by the techniques described above.
Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, la mutagenèse est une mutagenèse par utilisation de rayonnements UV ou par utilisation d'EMS.In an advantageous embodiment, the mutagenesis is a mutagenesis using UV radiation or using EMS.
La mutagenèse par utilisation de rayonnements UV est par exemple effectuée en préparant une culture de la souche à muter. La culture cellulaire est ensuite lavée avant d'être remise en suspension dans un tampon, par exemple une solution de NaCl 0,9%. La suspension cellulaire est alors soumise à des chocs UV, par exemple d'un rayonnement de 400 J /cm2, en fonction de la courbe de survie des cellules. La culture ayant subie les chocs UV est ensuite étalée sur du milieu non sélectif et chaque colonie obtenue correspond à une souche mutée.Mutagenesis using UV radiation is, for example, carried out by preparing a culture of the strain to be mutated. The cell culture is then washed before being resuspended in a buffer, for example a 0.9% NaCl solution. The cell suspension is then subjected to UV shocks, for example a radiation of 400 J / cm 2 , depending on the survival curve of the cells. The culture having undergone UV shocks is then spread on nonselective medium and each colony obtained corresponds to a mutated strain.
Le procédé de sélection comporte de manière avantageuse une étape de présélection. Cette étape de présélection repose sur un mode de culture original des souches sur des plaques de mélasse. Cette étape permet d'obtenir un gain de temps considérable dans le processus de sélection. En effet, la culture sur plaque de mélasse étant plus facilement mise en œuvre qu'une culture semi-continue, un plus grand nombre d'hybrides peut être testé sur un temps court.The selection method advantageously comprises a preselection step. This preselection stage is based on an original culture mode of the strains on molasses plates. This step saves considerable time in the selection process. Indeed, the molasses plate culture being more easily implemented than a semi-continuous culture, a larger number of hybrids can be tested over a short time.
La présente invention a particulièrement pour objet un procédé tel que défini ci-dessus, caractérisé en ce que : la première étape de sélection comprend la sélection des souches hybrides et/ou mutées qui ont : o une activité maltase en présence de maltose augmentée d'au moins 20%, notamment au moins 30%, notamment au moins 40%, notamment au moins 50%, notamment au moins 60% par rapport à celle de la souche NCYC995, et/ou o une activité maltase en présence de glucose supérieure ou égale à 70%, notamment supérieure ou égale à 90% de celle de la souche NCYC995, et/ou la seconde étape de sélection comprend la sélection des souches donnant, après culture semi-continue, des levures qui présentent : o une force fermentative sur pâte sans sucre et/ou légèrement sucrée augmentée d'au moins 10%, notamment au moins 14%, notamment au moins 18%, notamment au moins 22%, notamment au moins 26% par rapport à celle de la souche NCYC995, et/ou o un rendement supérieur ou égal à 95% du rendement obtenu avec la soucheThe subject of the present invention is particularly a process as defined above, characterized in that: the first selection step comprises the selection of the hybrid and / or mutated strains which have: a maltase activity in the presence of maltose increased by at least 20%, in particular at least 30%, in particular at least 40%, in particular at least 50%, in particular at least 60% relative to that of the NCYC995 strain, and / or o a maltase activity in the presence of higher glucose or equal to 70%, especially greater than or equal to 90% of that of strain NCYC995, and / or the second selection step comprises the selection of strains giving, after semi-continuous culture, yeasts which present: o a fermentative force on sugar-free and / or slightly sweetened pasta increased by at least 10%, in particular by at least 14%, in particular by at least 18%, in particular at least 22%, in particular at least 26% relative to that of strain NCYC995, and / or o a yield greater than or equal to 95% of the yield obtained with the strain

Les levures fraîches de boulangerie englobent les crèmes de levure et les levures pressées.Fresh bakery yeasts are characterized by high water content compared to dry yeasts. Fresh bakery yeasts include yeast creams and pressed yeasts.
Les crèmes de levure, appelées également « levures liquides », sont des suspensions aqueuses de cellules de levure présentant une viscosité de type crème.

Toutefois, la présente invention est également utile pour des crèmes de levure préférentiellement de boulangerie à teneur en matières sèches plus élevée, c'est-à-dire d'au moins 25% en masse, comme notamment les crèmes de levure de boulangerie dite à haute densité contenant un ou plusieurs agents osmotiques, tels que par exemple les composés polyhydroxy alimentaires et les sels alimentaires.Yeast creams, also called "liquid yeasts", are aqueous suspensions of yeast cells having a cream-like viscosity.

Results
Le tableau 7 indique l'écart entre le temps d'apprêt obtenu avec les levures sèches issues des souches selon l'invention et celui des levures sèches issues de la souche de référence NCYC995, cet écart étant exprimé en pourcentage.Table 7 indicates the difference between the primer time obtained with the dry yeasts resulting from the strains according to the invention and that of the dry yeasts resulting from the reference strain NCYC995, this difference being expressed as a percentage.
Les temps d'apprêt ont été mesurés après un procédé de panification en schéma direct, sur des pâtes normales ou des pâtes légèrement sucrées (contenant 10% de sucre), à température ambiante.The finishing times were measured after a direct baking process, on normal pasta or slightly sweet pasta (containing 10% sugar), at room temperature.
Sur pâte sans sucre, les levures issues des souches selon l'invention ont un temps d'apprêt diminué de 17% à 22% par rapport aux levures issues de la souche de référence : leur activité fermentative est donc supérieure à celle des levures issues de la souche de référence.On sugar-free pulp, the yeasts resulting from the strains according to the invention have a primer time decreased from 17% to 22% relative to the yeasts resulting from the reference strain: their fermentative activity is therefore greater than that of yeasts originating from the reference strain.
Sur pâte légèrement sucrée, les levures issues des souches selon l'invention ont un temps d'apprêt diminué de 14% à 16% par rapport aux levures issues de la souche de référence : leur activité fermentative est donc supérieure à celle des levures issues de la souche de référence.On slightly sweet dough, the yeasts resulting from the strains according to the invention have a primer time decreased from 14% to 16% with respect to the yeasts resulting from the reference strain: their fermentative activity is therefore greater than that of the yeasts originating from the reference strain.
