Abstract:
Summary

Growth conditions for the formation of characteristic microbial volatile organic compound (MVOC) mixtures, have been developed for Penicillium chrysogenum, Chaetonium globosum, Aspergillus versicolor, Trichoderma harzianum, and Stachybotrys chartarum, isolates from Danish buildings with moisture problems. The compounds utilized included some of the "C8 complex" (3-octanol, 3-octanone, 1-octen-3-ol) and sesquiterpenes. The metabolites were identified by thermal desorption/HRGC/MS.
