The invention belongs to the technical field of microbial
fermentation, and particularly relates to a novel
bacillus velezensis strain as well as a separation and
screening method and application thereof. According to the invention, an
enterobacter strain which is different from spores and produces
tetramethylpyrazine is excavated. According to the invention, a
bacillus velezensis 17 with high yield of
tetramethylpyrazine is separated and screened from
yeast for making hard liquor and fermented grains, and the
bacillus velezensis 17 can grow and ferment in
solid culture media such as wheat, mouldy
bran, five grains and the like at the same time and can produce various pyrazines. The strain is preserved in the China General
Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC) on September 11, 2025, the preservation number is CGMCC No.35896, the preservation address is Institute of
Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 3 #, 1 #
yard, West Beichen Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, the postcode is 100101, and the classification name is
Bacillus velezensis. The strain provided by the invention can adapt to a plurality of common fermented grain substrates, and shows good industrial adaptability and stability, so that the strain has a wide application prospect in
white spirit brewing.
