This project, partly funded by the Chinese Scholarship Council, is examining the role of microbial volatiles in the competition between fungi and bacteria in soils. The major research question is whether volatiles produced by bacteria give them a competitive advantage by suppressing fungi. This will be examined using soil models systems.
