Abstract

The volatile organic compounds evolved from various fungi were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. All the fungi studied were selected for their relevance in human mycology. According to their behaviour in the production of volatile compounds the fungi were divided into three groups. Group I was composed of fungi characteristically yeasts producing very high levels of volatile compounds. Ethanol, ethyl acetate, ethyl propanoate, isoamyl acetate, isobutanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol were evolved by members of this group. Group II comprised fungi producing at least ethanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol and 2-methyl-1-butanol. This group included saprophytic or opportunistic filmentous fungi. Group III consisted mainly of the keratinolytic species of fungi which produce very few volatile compounds.
