Abstract Ceratocystis moniliformis produced and excreted monoterpenes when grown on potato-dextrose broth. Geraniol, nerol, citronellol, linalol, α-terpineol, geranial and neral were identified by GC-MS. Their production commenced with the depletion of nitrogen in the growth medium and their combined concentration peaked at about 50 μg/ml on the 5th day of growth. The pathway for the biosynthesis of the identified monoterpenes was studied by supplying the radioactive precursors mevalonic acid-[2- 14 C], l -leucine-[4,5- 3 H(N)], and acetate- [2- 14 C] to C. moniliformis . For each precursor, the extent of incorporation into the above monoterpenes and the distribution of radioactivity in geraniol was determined. It was concluded that monoterpenes were formed via the mevalonate pathway, previously established for higher terpenes in other organisms. This represents the first information available on the biosynthetic pathway for free monoterpenes in a microbial system.
