This bacterium produces the sweet smell of spring and bad wine

  • Spring smells of wet ground. It consists of bacteria of the genus Streptomyces.

Streptomyces coelicolor bakterioa.

In the previous one he said that spring smells of wet ground and blames geosmin (literally “smell of land”). It is a series of bacteria of the genus Streptomyces, mainly Streptomyces coelicolor. This bacterium is not a vain hair: it is the main source of antibiotics used in current medicine, so it is being researched and researched. It produces over 6,000 chemicals, among which are known antibacterial agents such as tetracycline, erythromycin, rifanpin or canamycin, anti-fungal agents such as nystatin, anti-tumor agents, livers or intestinal worms, as well as immunosuppressive agents, among others.

This fertility caused the complete sequencing of her genome. Of the nearly 8,000 genes that it has, they found the one that causes the smell of geosmin. The smell of dirt that geosmin brings, spring or rain is not important until we give the wine to drink...

One of the worst mistakes in the wine sector is opening the bottle and smelling the land. The geomine is the largest and most unfortunate oenologist who has produced this wine, whether it is apple, pear, grape or fruit of whatever kind. The smell of spring is as cursed in wine as that of the galipot, the pen, the slate, the freshly cut grass... The culture of the nose is degenerated, limited, brightened. Some smells are good and others bad, like herbs.

I asked the camel's nose. It's been a millenary enigma as a camel can smell and channel water 80 kilometers away. It seems that geomine is the reason. The bacteria that creates it knows that camel and other animals like him (insects, worms, etc.) They will help you expand when you drink the water it contains. They'll wrap it around and transport it back and forth.

Geomine has also been found in cactus flowers from Mexico and the Amazon, as well as other plants. A good trick to attract those who say they have water and facilitate their pollination.

Geosmina brings us the beautiful smell of spring, the sweet aroma after rain and the traces of bad wine.
