Hypoxylon

sp. displayed maximal

VOC-antimicrobial activity againstBotrytis cinerea, Phytophthoracinnamomi, Cercospora beticola

and

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Fungi andplants

The VOCs produced by theMuscodor

strains have the potential

for biological control of bacteria,yeast and

fi

lamentous fungi. The

VOCs of

M. heveae

were active

against the pathogenic fungiPhellinus noxius and Rigidoporusmicroporus

that cause root disease in

the rubber tree

Collectively they actedsynergistically to kill a broad rangeof plant- and human-pathogenicfungi and bacteria also volatilemixture were effectively used tocontrol postharvest plant diseases
