真菌产生各种气相碳基化合物的混合物，称为挥发性有机化合物（VOC），由于其体积小，能够通过大气和土壤扩散。尽管存在一些方法和技术上的限制，研究人员已经检测并表征了大约250种真菌VOCs，其中许多具有特征性气味，并且在初级和次级代谢过程中产生。真菌挥发性有机化合物可能导致一种有争议的医学诊断，称为“病态建筑综合征”，也可能是重要的木霉的一些生物防治物种的成功。挥发性有机化合物在真菌的自然环境中也起着重要的信号作用。许多生态相互作用都是由VOCs介导的，包括真菌与植物、节肢动物、细菌和其他真菌之间的相互作用。真菌挥发性有机化合物的多种功能可以开发用于生物燃料、生物防治和真菌熏蒸等生物技术应用。挥发物是生物勘探的一个新领域，对这些气相化合物的研究有望发现供人类利用的新产品，并将在基础生物学中产生新的假设。(c)2012年英国真菌学会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Fungi produce various mixtures of gas-phase, carbon-based compounds called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that due to their small size are able to diffuse through the atmosphere and soils. Despite some methodological and technological constraints, researchers have detected and characterized approximately 250 fungal VOCs, many of which have characteristic odors and are produced during primary and secondary metabolism. Fungal VOCs may contribute to a controversial medical diagnosis called "sick building syndrome" and may also be important in the success of some biocontrol species of Trichoderma. VOCs also play important signaling roles for fungi in their natural environments. Many ecological interactions are mediated by VOCs, including those between fungi and plants, arthropods, bacteria, and other fungi. The diverse functions of fungal VOCs can be developed for use in biotechnological applications for biofuel, biocontrol, and mycofumigation. Volatiles represent a new frontier in bioprospecting, and the study of these gas-phase compounds promises the discovery of new products for human exploitation and will generate new hypotheses in fundamental biology.
