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

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.
