Characterisation of a broad-range, biologically active substance from Pseudozyma aphidis with a dual mode of action: antibiosis and induced resistance

Abstract: Isolated metabolites from the biocontrol agent Pseudozyma aphidis isolate L12 inhibit varied fungal and bacterial phytopathogens, both in vitro and in planta. Isolated metabolites from the biocontrol agent P. aphidis isolate L12 activate the induced systemic resistance machinery in tomato plants.
