Abstract
The accumulation of volatile metabolites in liquid cultures of the basidiomycete Gloeophyllum odoratum CBS 444.61 was studied after cultivation on defined synthetic liquid culture medium containing glucose (2%), asparagine (0.15%), and mineral salts. The composition of the steam volatile compounds differed distinctly from that obtained with another, previously investigated strain of this species. Two major constituents, the bicyclic sesquiterpene alcohol drimenol and a linalool derivative, 3,7-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-6-octenic acid methyl ester, could be identified by mass spectral data and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Besides several monoterpene alcohols, other minor constituents were trans-linalool oxide and 1-octen-3-ol. 3,7-Dimethyl-3-hydroxy-6-octenic acid methyl ester is described for the first time as a natural product.Keywords
