A Study of Factors Affecting the Synthesis of Terpenes by Ceratocystis variospora

Volatile metabolites produced by six fungal species compared with other indicators of fungal growth on cereal grains

“…Besides being influenced by species and substrate composition, the production of volatile metabolites can be influenced by the duration of fungal growth. For instance, Hubbal and Collins (8) found that volatile terpenes occurred in different ratios depending on the stage of growth of Ceratocystis vanospora. It was suggested that this variation was due to the metabolic turnover of the terpenes.…”

Influence of Strain Specificity and Culture Conditions on Terpene Production by Fungi

“…Some species of the genus Ceratocystis have been intensively investigated with regard to formation and accumulation of volatile metabolites [1- 3,5,6,8,12,18]. SPRECHER and coworkers [18] could identify several acydie and monocyclic mono-and sesquiterpenes in the steam distillate of C. coerulescens BAKSHI (MUNCH) strain 765 M. As shown by different authors [4,5,13,22,23] the capability of terpene production is not restricted to this strain; however composition and yield of the essential oils is rather variable within the species [1].…”

Biotechnological production of bioflavors and functional sugars

“…Most of the terpene-producing microorganisms are fungi, and a typical example is the genus Ceratocystis which produces aroma compounds. The production of several aroma compounds (citronellol, geraniol, linalool, nerol, α-terpineol and others) using Ceratocystis strains was verified in literature (BLUeMKe et al, 2001;CoLLINS et al, 1977;LANZA et al, 1976;HUBBALL et al, 1978). Several studies using another species (i.e.…”
