Comprehensive genomic and metabolomic analysis revealed the physiological characteristics and pickle like odor compounds metabolic pathways of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ZZ7 isolated from fermented grains of Maotai-flavor baijiu.

ABSTRACT: Pickle like odor (PLO) is one of the main defective flavors of Maotai flavor baijiu (MFB). Understanding and controlling the PLO compounds producing strains not only solves the problem of PLO from the source, but also ensures the high-quality production of MFB. However, the relevant research on PLO compounds producing strains has not been reported in MFB. In this study, we identified a Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ZZ7 with high yield of PLO compounds in the fermented grains of MFB, and measured its physiological characteristics. It produces 627 volatile compounds and 1,507 non-volatile compounds. There are 7 volatile sulfur compounds that cause the PLO, the content of dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, and dimethyl sulfur is relatively high, accounting for 89.43% of the total volatile
