One of the first
products isolated from T. viride was a chemical with
characteristic coconut-like aroma, a 6-pentyl-α-pyrone with
antibiotic properties, the production of which was constantly
improved to reach concentrations of more than 7 g/L in
extractive fermentation cultures in T. atroviride nowadays
(Collins and Halim 1972; Oda et al. 2009).
