Hops News

Czech Republic: A better harvest of 5,950 tonnes of hops is expected this year after the previous two weaker years

Czech hop growers expect a better harvest this year after the previous two weaker years, Bohumil Pazler, chairman of the Czech Hop Growers Association, was quoted as saying by ČTK on August 8.

Last year's hop harvest amounted to 5,630 tonnes, and this year around 5.950 tonnes of hops may be harvested, he said.

Hops are grown on 5.345 ha this year. Growers expect a per ha yield of 1.08 to 1.1 tonnes on average, against last year's 1.04 tonnes.

Hop prices are expected to grow by 15 to 20 percent year-on-year. Farmers want a minimum of Kc180.000 to Kc200.000 a tonne to cover their input costs and eliminate the strong crown effects.

Around 80 percent of the hop harvest is exported.

The hop fields rank the Czech Republic third after Germany and the USA. Hops were grown on 51.000 ha in the world last year.

Isolation and Identification of Potential Beer-Spoilage Pediococcus inopinatus and Beer-Spoilage Lactobacillus backi Strains Carrying the horA and horC Gene Clusters

Kazumaru Iijima, Koji Suzuki, Shizuka Asano, Hidetoshi Kuriyama and Yasushi Kitagawa

Abstract

J. Inst. Brew. 113(1), 96–101, 2007 Four beer-spoilage strains, LA20, LA21, LA22 and LA23, were isolated from brewery environments. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence, LA20 was identified as Pediococcus inopinatus and the remaining three were identified as Lactobacillus backi. The homologs of horA and horC, the hop resistance genes originally identified in L. brevis ABBC45, were detected simultaneously in LA22 and LA23, while only a horA homolog and a horC homolog were found in LA20 and LA21 respectively. The 5.6 kb DNA regions containing the horA homolog in LA20 and LA22 were almost 99% identical with the corresponding region of ABBC45. Similarly the 8.2 kb regions containing the horC homolog in LA21 and LA22 were more than 99% identical with that of ABBC45. Interestingly the horA-containing 5.6 kb regions in LA20 and LA22 were found to be completely identical despite the distinct genus status. Coupled with the fact that LA20 and LA22 were isolated from the same sampling site, these results, taken collectively, reinforce our hypothesis that horA and horC genes were acquired by beer-spoilage species through horizontal gene transfer and confirm the usefulness of horA and horC as genetic markers for the species-independent determination of beer-spoilage ability in lactic acid bacteria. Key words: Beer-spoilage ability, hop resistance gene, horA, horC, horizontal gene transfer, Lactobacillus backi, Pediococcus inopinatus Load full article, 6 pages, 145 Kb, PDF file
