Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica produced flavour compounds when infecting endives (Cichorium intybus). These compounds were identified as esters and branched-chain alcohols.They were produced from amino acids and some of them such as methionol, methionol acetate, isobutanol, isobutyl acetate, β-phenyl ethanol and tryptophol were produced with good yields.
