Abstract

The paper was aimed to isolate a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with higher alcohol, butanol. 32 strains of S. cerevisiae were isolated and identified from the dough starters from different regions. First, sterile flour solution (SFS) was developed as a substrate, and the HS-SPME-GC/MS technique was used to detect the volatile compounds, especially butanol. Then, gas production rate and acid-producing efficacy of S. cerevisiae were detected by Wickerham’s method and pH meter for assessing the ability to metabolize different sugar, respectively. Finally, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was performed to determine the genetic relationships among the strains. As a result, the SC-X1 obtained the highest concentration of butanol by metabolizing SFS, and the SC-N1 produced the richest variety of flavors during fermentation. The SC-X1 had a better acid-producing ability, it metabolized glucose, sucrose and maltose to produce acid which lower the pH value by 2.26, 2.17 and 1.46, respectively. The SC-X1 had higher gas-producing efficiency by utilizing glucose and sucrose, and the SC-N1 had perfect performance in gas-producing. The PFGE similarity coefficient was high in relationship with the S. cerevisiae resource. Through comprehensive analysis, SC-X1 and SC-N1 were chosen for further research due to their excellent chemical and microbiological performances. Especially, the SC-X1 is very potential for commercial usage with high production of butanol.
