Sniffing fungi – phenotyping of volatile chemical diversity in Trichoderma species

Summary Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play vital roles in the interaction of fungi with plants and other organisms. A systematic study of the global fungal VOC profiles is still lacking, though it is a prerequisite for elucidating the mechanisms of VOC‐mediated interactions. Here we present a versatile system enabling a high‐throughput screening of fungal VOCs under controlled temperature. In a proof‐of‐principle experiment, we characterized...
