H. Yamauchi et al., AROMA PRODUCTION BY NEUROSPORA SP AFFECTED BY LIGHT IRRADIATION, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 60(11), 1996, pp. 1902-1904
Light irradiation of the culture broth of three odoriferous Neurospora
strains resulted in a decrease in the amount of ethyl caproate in the
broth, Light reduced the activities of an acyl CoA: alcohol acyltrans
ferase (AACTase) but it increased the esterase activity. Another volat
ile, 1-octen-3-ol, was also tested but no clear effect was found.
