Pyrazines responsible for the potatolike odor produced by some serratia and cedecea strains

Abstract:
The pyrazines responsible for the potatolike odor produced by some Serratia and Cedecea cultures were identified by gas-liquid chromatography (with flame ionization and thermoionic ionization detectors) and mass spectrometry. Alkylpyrazines were produced by the six strains studied irrespective of their odors. The major alkyl-methoxypyrazine produced by Cedecea davisae was 3-sec-butyl-2-methoxypyrazine, and that produced by odoriferous Serratia strains (S. rubidaea, S. odorifera, and S. ficaria) was 3-isopropyl-2-methoxy-5-methyl-pyrazine. Other pyrazines produced by some strains were 3-isopropyl-2-methoxypyrazine, 3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine, 3-sec-butyl-2-methoxy-5-methylpyrazine, and 3-isobutyl-2-methoxy-6-methylpyrazine. Some of these pyrazines had not previously been found as natural products or to be produced by bacteria.
