Abstract

The volatile oil production of several species and strains of the genus Ceratocystis (Ascomycetes) and of Lentinus lepideus (FR.) FR. (Basidiomycetes) is studied. The production of mono- and sesquiterpenes by these fungi proves to be highly influenced by strain specificity and culture conditions.
