[[Brettanomyces]], [[Lactobacillus]], and [[Pediococcus]] can produce forms of ''Tetrahydropyridine''. In Brettanomyces, ATHP and ETHP are produced by metabolizing the amino acids L-Lysine and D-Lysine, along with ethanol. Oxygen has a stimulatory effect in it's production, but this is probably because ''Brett'' has a higher biomass formation under aerobic conditions <ref>[http://www.brettanomycesproject.com/dissertation/introduction/ Yakobson, Chad.

The level of THP production varies widely between species and strains of ''Brett'', with some strains not producing it at all and some producing very high amounts above taste threshold. Additionally, THP production in the presence of higher glucose and fructose levels, which explains why THP may be seen more often in stuck wine fermentations rather than wine that has finished fermenting <ref>[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18194246 Growth and volatile compound production by Brettanomyces/Dekkera bruxellensis in red wine.
