Abstract: The inhibiting activity of three yeast strains belonging to Pichia kudriavzevii, Pichia occidentalis, and Meyerozyma quilliermondii/Meyerozyma caribbica genera against common plant pathogens representing Mucor spp., Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium expansum, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium cereals, Fusarium poae, as well as Botrytis cinerea genera was investigated. The yeast strains tested had a pos. impact on growth inhibition of all target plant pathogens. The degree of inhibition was more than 50% and varied depending on both the yeast antagonist and the mold. Et esters of medium-chain fatty acids, phenylethyl alc., and its acetate ester prevailed among the analyzed volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by yeasts in the presence of the target plant pathogens. Due to the method used, assuming no contact between the antagonist and the pathogen, the antagonistic activity of the yeast strains studied resulted mainly from the production of biol. active VOCs. Moreover, the antagonistic activity was not only restricted to a single plant pathogen but effective towards molds of different genera, making the yeast strains studied very useful for potential application in biol. control. And 2-Hexyl-1-decanol (cas: 2425-77-6) was used in the research process.
2-Hexyl-1-decanol(cas: 2425-77-6) has been shown to inhibit the growth of b16 mouse melanoma cells, suggesting it may be useful for treating skin cancer.Electric Literature of C16H34O This fatty acid also has transport properties and can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules.
