Strong-flavor Baijiu (SFB) is produced in complex fermentation in pits under ground. Clostridium producing hexanoic acid plays a key role in the flavor formation of SFB. The screening and culture for Clostridium are very difficult because of its strict anaerobic characteristics. In this study, electric field assisted screening (EFAS) was used to screen Clostridium from pit mud, and electric culture (EC) was used to cultivate Clostridium under non-anaerobic conditions. A strain with a high yield of hexanoic acid was screened and named as Clostridium sp. EFAS6. Under non-anaerobic conditions, it grew rapidly only near the cathode end in the EFAS device because of the low oxidation-reduction potential of that electrode. In the experiment of high-density culture in the EC device, the cell concentration reached 10
