Use of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry selected-ion recording for sterol content pattern recognition in fungal classification.
Chemotaxonomic studies are frequently limited by the volume of data obtained and the difficulty of reducing this to statistically interpretable results. This paper describes the use of a straightforward procedure for relating the pattern of occurrence of sterols in fungi, analysed by mass spectrometry, to their classification.
