The wine microbiota is a dense but highly exploited ecosystem. The selection of new microbial species from non-conventional ecological niches could constitute a new pool of biodiversity in the winemaking process. This research for the first time addresses the metabolomic impact generated by non-Saccharomyces strain, Candida oleophila (C. oleophila) YS209, selected from the honey...
