Volatile organic compounds of L. enzymogenes LEC suppress the growth of fungal and oomycete pathogens and modify the cell physiology of Rhizoctonia solani

Lysobacter enzymogenes LEC is a plant disease-suppressive bacterium. To obtain a more comprehensive understanding of its biocontrol activity and to identify further potential application methods, we investigated the function of its volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOC activity was assessed in vitro using split-plate assays with eight different fungal and oomycete isolates and in planta against…
