Nutrients for Malolactic Bacteria Micro Essentials Oenos was developed specifically for malolactic bacteria. It contains a diverse blend of organic protein sources and yeast derived vitamins and minerals. It is strongly recommended for most wines that have been historically difficult to put through malolactic fermentation, or that present challenging conditions (i.e. high SO 2 , high alcohol and low pH). Micro Essentials Boost-TR contains a higher percentage of inorganic nitrogen, along with organic nitrogen, vitamins, minerals and yeast survival factors, in a time-release format. It is typically used to supplement the Micro Essentials Complete-TR in musts that have a lower level of YAN or in musts that are known to be problematic. dissolution rate. It provides the nutrients required to maintain cell population, and its slower dissolution rate assures nutrient availability for the subsequent generations of yeast. Together, these two tablets provide the right composition of nutrients at the right time.
