2-Phenylethanol (2-PE), an aromatic alcohol with a rose-like fragrance, is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and high-end cosmetic industries. In this study, a high-yield 2-PE-producing strain was isolated and identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae based on morphological characterization and taxonomic identification. Fermentation medium com- ponents (carbon and nitrogen sources) were optimized through single-factor experiments in shaking flasks, and fermentation medium with 40 g/L...
