Ecological Functions of Trichoderma Metabolites
T. atroviride produces several volatile C 8 compounds, such as 3-octanone, 1-octen3-ol, and 3-octanol (Fig. 9). These metabolites are the end products of fatty acid
Fig. 8 Volatile compounds identified in fungi. Trichoderma strains produce a number of isoprenoid mono- (C 10 ) and sesquiterpenes (C 15 ). Notice the close relation of the chemical structure among
sesquiterpenes. Frequently, chemical typification is difficult due to their mass spectra similarity
