Abstract

Stachybotrys chartarum, a fungus found in damp buildings and sometimes ascribed a role in building-related illnesses, produces a variety of secondary metabolites including trichothecenes, triprenylated phenolics, and a new class of diterpenoids called atranones. A related fungus, Memnoniella echinata also produces trichothecenes and the triprenylated phenolics. Herein the production of these compounds from cultures of the above are reviewed.
