摘要

"method for identifying new muscodor fungi, composition, methods of inhibiting the growth of an organism, treating or protecting fruits, plants, seeds, grains or soil surrounding plants against an infestation by an organism, treating animal waste or humans, and to obtain a volatile composition, and fungus ". This invention provides a novel endophytic fungus, muscodor, which produces a mixture of volatile antibiotics with activity on plant-specific insects, nematodes, bacteria and pathogens. Also provided is a method for treating or protecting plants, soils and seeds against microbial infections comprising applying an effective amount of muscodor sp. producer of a volatile antibiotic. The invention also relates to fungicidal, bactericidal, insecticidal and nematicidal compositions comprising this new muscodor strain and the antibiotics and metabolites produced by this strain either alone or in combination with other chemical or biological pesticides. Also provided is a method for identifying and isolating related gas producing fungi.
