Screening of Yeasts Isolated from Baijiu Environments for Producing 3-Methylthio-1-propanol and Optimizing Production Conditions.

ABSTRACT: 3-Methylthio-1-propanol (3-Met) is widely used as a flavoring substance and an essential aroma ingredient in many foods. Producing 3-Met by microbial transformation is green and eco-friendly. In the present study, one strain, YHM-G, which produced a high level of 3-Met, was isolated from the Baijiu-producing environment. Strain YHM-G was identified as Hyphopichia burtonii according to its morphological properties, physiological and biochemical characteristics, and ribosomal large subunit 26S rRNA gene D1/D2 domain sequence analysis. The optimal conditions for 3-Met production by YHM-G were obtained by single factor design, Plackett-Burman design, steepest ascent path design and response surface methodology as follows: 42.7 g/L glucose, pH 6, 0.9 g/L yeast extract, 6 g/L L-met
