Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

2-Phenylethanol and 2-phenylethylacetate important aroma components are obtained in substantial amounts whenHansenula anomala CBS 110 andKloeckera saturnus CBS 5761 are grown with L-phenylalanine as sole nitrogen source. Up to 2 g/L of mixtures of alcohol and ester are obtained. While in the first microorganism the alcohol predominates, in the second the acetate is formed almost exclusively. Experiments with 1-13C-d-Glucose show complete incorporation of the label into the methyl group of the acetate.
