Abstract:		"The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of different carbon sources on the hydrocarbon-like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of Fusarium verticillioides strain 7600 through a Principal Component Analysis approach, and to explore their diesel potential by using data from the literature. The fungus was cultivated in GYAM culture medium, and five carbon sources were evaluated: glucose, sucrose, xylose, lactose, and fructose. The VOCs were collected using a close-loop apparatus and identified through GC-MS. The same profile of 81 VOCs was detected with all treatments, but with different relative percentages among carbon sources. The production of branched-chain alkanes (30 compounds) ranged from 25.80% to 38.64%, straight-chain alkanes (12 compounds) from 22.04% to 24.18%, benzene derivatives (12 compounds) from 7.48% to 35.58%, and the biosynthesis of branched-chain alcohols (11 compounds) was from 6.82% to 16.71%, with lower values for the remaining groups of VOCs. Our results show that F. verticillioides has the metabolic potential to synthesize diesel-like VOCs. Further research should include the optimization of culture conditions other than carbon sources to increase the production of certain groups of VOCs"
