From all the species of lactobacilli and cocci identified in wine, Oenococcus oeni (known as Leuconostoc oenos until 1995, Dicks et al. 1995) dominates the system. Initially physiological and metabolic studies revealed the originality of O.oeni while recent genomic studies allow us to partly interpret it. Some unusual features of O. oeni, including the tolerance to acidity, ethanol, and other natural inhibitors of wine and some metabolic pathways, are also common to other species of the oenological niche.
