Inducible volatile chemical signalling drives antifungal activity of Trichoderma hamatum GD12 during confrontation with the pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Gareth A. Thomas, József Vuts, David M. Withall…·Michael A. Birkett

This study shows that Trichoderma hamatum GD12 uses volatile organic compounds to inhibit the pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, with a mutant lacking the enzyme N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase showing reduced antagonism.
