Abstract:

Mold species which were isolated from damp buildings were grown on sterile building materials and some synthetic media in order to study the microbial volatile organic compounds produced. Patterns of the microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOC) were very media dependent but media which favor terpene biosynthesis may give patterns unique enough for identification of dominant indoor molds.
