Calling from distance: attraction of soil bacteria by plant root volatiles Open
Plants release a wide set of secondary metabolites including volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Many of those compounds are considered to function as defense against herbivory, pests, and pathogens. However, little knowledge exists about t…

Exploring bacterial interspecific interactions for discovery of novel antimicrobial compounds Open
Summary Recent studies indicated that the production of secondary metabolites by soil bacteria can be triggered by interspecific interactions. However, little is known to date about interspecific interactions between Gram‐positive and Gram…

Potential for Biocontrol of Hairy Root Disease by a Paenibacillus Clade Open
Rhizogenic Agrobacterium biovar 1 is the causative agent of hairy root disease (HRD) in the hydroponic cultivation of tomato and cucumber causing significant losses in marketable yield. In order to prevent and control the disease chemical …
