Cyclosporin C is the main antifungal compound produced by Acremonium luzulae.

A strain of Acremonium luzulae (Fuckel) W. Gams was selected in screening new microorganisms for biological control of fruit postharvest diseases, especially gray and blue mold diseases on apples and strawberries. This strain manifests a very strong activity against a large number of phytopathogenic fungi.

The degradation of L-tyrosine to phenol and benzoate in pig manure : The role of 4-hydroxy-benzoate.

The formation of odorous compounds in piggery wastes was investigated. Phenol and para-cresol are generally encountered in these typically anaerobic environments. They are produced from L-tyrosine by microbial metabolism.

Bioconversion of a L-carnitin precursor in a one- or two-phase system.

The ability of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to bioconvert stereo-selectively octyl-4-chloroacetoacetate (OCA) into the corresponding chiral alcohol, precursor of L-carnitin, an important physiological agent, was investigated. In a monophasic system with free cells, more than 90% of OCA (0.018 M) bioconversion have been reached after 6 h (enantiomeric excess for the R form, eeR:97%).
