MS generated a higher OAV of higher alcohols, including isobutanol (OAV 3.64), isopentanol (OAV 4.02) and 2- phenylethanol (OAV 10.21), followed by IS, HS, PS, the monoculture of S. cerevisiae and CS, which agrees with the results of Comitini et al. (2011); these authors found that M. pulcherrima positively influenced the production of higher alcohols in mixed fermentation with S. cerevisiae
