Abstract
In the course of investigation of T. roseum (Fungi Imperfecti) for its attractancy against T. putrescentiae (cheese mite), 20 volatile compounds produced at a very low concentration by the microfungus were identified 3-methyl-1-butanol, 3-octanone, 1-octen-3-one, 3-octanol, octa-1,5-dien-3 one, 1-octen-3-ol, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-ol, octa-1,5-dien-3 ol, furfural, linalool, linalyl acetate, terpineol (.alpha. and .beta.) citronellyl acetate, nerol, citronellol, phenylacetaldehyde, benzyl alcohol geranyl acetate, 1-phenyl ethanol and nerolidol. Octa-1,5-dien-3-ol and octa-1,5-dien-3-one were not previously isolated from fungi; octa-1,5-dien-3-ol is the most potent attractant amount the volatile compounds detected.
