Microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) emitted from Aspergillus nidulans was investigated and the effects of modified expression of some sesquiterpene biosynthesis genes in the genome of A. nidulans were analyzed. A peak corresponding to C15H24 (m/z 204) was found in GC/MS TIC chromatographs of MVOCs emitted from expression-enforced strains of A. nidulans. It was a new member of the group of volatile terpenes which A. nidulans can produce in a specific condition. We also determined the molecular structure of this sesquiterpene using NMR specrtoscopy, MS/MS spectrometry and ab initio calculations.
