Abstract
Selected strains of Trichoderma spp. were grown on a solid corn matrix under a variety of culture conditions and analyzed for the production of 6-n-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-one (6PAP). By optimizing harvest time, cult ure temperature, light conditions, and spore inoculum concentration, y ields of 6PAP as high as 2000 mg/kg have been achieved. These results will provide an indication for future production studies potentially l eading to the development of a bulk scale fermentation process.
