Heterofermentative [[Lactobacillus]] spp., particularly ''L. hilgardii'' and ''L. brevis'', can also produce high levels of ATHP, ETHP, and APY from L-lysine/L-ornithine , ethanol, and iron. L-lysine stimulates production of ATHP, and ethanol L-ornitine stimulates the production of APY <ref name="Costello">[http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jf020341r Mousy Off-Flavor of Wine:  Precursors and Biosynthesis of the Causative N-Heterocycles 2-Ethyltetrahydropyridine, 2-Acetyltetrahydropyridine, and 2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline by Lactobacillus hilgardii DSM 20176.

Most species of [[Pediococcus]] do not create THP, although a few species do. In particular, these include ''P. pentosaceus'' <ref>[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q03HT0 UniProt article.

Retrieved 3/10/2015.]</ref> (note that commercial cultures of [[Pediococcus]] are normally ''P. damnosus''). ''Oenococcus oeni'' and ''Leuconostoc mesenteroides'' have also been associated with creating THP. Since only heterofermentative species produce significant amounts of THP, it is thought that it's production is linked to the heterolactic pathway, and thus the metabolism of sugars in LAB <ref name="Costello"></ref>.
