Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0031-9422(80)83069-X

Identification of the predominant constiutents produced by the plus and minus strains of Blakeslea trispora is described.The occurence of xylenes in the volatiles produced by the plus strain is reported.Additionally, production of 3-hydroxy-3-methylbutanal by the plus strain and dimethyl allyl alcohol by the minus strains were confirmed.Isoamyl alcohol, 1-octen-3-ol, 3-octanol and β-phenethyl alcohol were identified in volatiles from both strains. - Key Word Index: Blakeslea trispora; Mucorales, xylene; isoamyl alcohol; 3-hydroxy-3-methylbutanal; dimethyl allyl alcohol.
