[[Brettanomyces]], [[Lactobacillus]], and [[Pediococcus]] can produce forms of ''Tetrahydropyridine''. In Brettanomyces, 2-acetyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine (ATHP/ACTPY) can be metabolized by the amino acid L-Lysine and ethanol with oxygen having a stimulatory effect in it's production, although little else is known about it's production in Brettanomyces <ref>[http://www.brettanomycesproject.com/dissertation/introduction/ Yakobson, Chad. The Brettanomyces Project; Introduction. Retrieved 3/10/2015.]</ref>. ATHP is further metabolized into 2-ethyltetrahydropyridine (ETHP/ETPY) by Brettanomyces, although not much is known about this metabolic process either <ref>[http://ucce.ucdavis.edu/files/repositoryfiles/Joseph_5_Aromatic_Diverswity_of_Brettanomyces-82350.ppt Joseph, C.M.

Heterofermentative [[Lactobacillus]] spp. can also produce ATHP and ETHP from Lysine and ethanol <ref>Sparrows, Jeff. ''Wild Brews''. Brewers Publications. 2005.
