During the last decades, research on the function of volatile organic compounds focused
primarily on the interactions between plants and insects. However, microorganisms can also …

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemical compounds whose saturation vapor
pressures are greater than 102 kPa at 25° C. Both plants and microorganisms produce …

Bacterial volatiles play a significant role in promoting plant growth by regulating the
synthesis or metabolism of phytohormones. In vitro and growth chamber experiments were …

Cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) plays a crucial role in the attachment to, or detachment
from the surfaces. The influence of CSH on adhesion of microorganisms to biotic and abiotic …

Disease suppressive soils offer effective protection to plants against infection by soil-borne
pathogens, including fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, and nematodes. The specific disease …

Soil microbes can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that influence plant growth
and pathogen resistance. Screening these microbial VOCs for their antifungal activity is a …

Microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) are produced by a wide array of
microorganisms ranging from bacteria to fungi. A growing body of evidence indicates that …

Plant growth-promoting bacteria are one of the most interesting methods of controlling
fungal phytopathogens. These bacteria can participate in biocontrol via a variety of …

In natural product research, microbial metabolites have tremendous potential to provide new
therapeutic agents since extremely diverse chemical structures can be found in the nearly …

Microorganisms have a long track record as important sources of novel bioactive natural
products, particularly in the field of drug discovery. While microbes have been shown to …
