The growth of Dipodascus aggregatus in cultures inoculated with cells from the acceleration phase of growth was stimulated by the saturated and unbranched aliphatic C 3 C 4 , and C 6 to C 11 aldehydes (80 μ M ]. Nonanal was most active in stimulating growth. The C 12 aldehyde inhibited growth. The C 5 , aldehyde generally inhibited growth. – Nonan did not affect growth. 2‐Nonanone and 5‐nonanone promoted growth insignificantly. – In cultures inoculated with cells from the exponential phase growth was unaffected or even inhibited by all the aldehydes tested. The C 4 , C 5 , C 10 , and C 11 aldehydes inhibited growth to a larger extent than nonanal.
