Inhibition of fungal cultures exposed to selected volatile organic compounds. (a) Candida albicans NCYC3778 exposed to 10 µL 1-octene-3-ol. Substantial inhibition was achieved within 24 h, but the cells appeared to recover after ventilation and a further 24 h incubation (i.e., 48 h). (b) Five-day-old cultures of F. graminearum in the (i) absence and presence (15 µL) of (ii) 3-octanone, (iii) isoamyl alcohol, (iv) isoamyl formate, (v) 1-octene-3-ol and (vi) isovaleric acid.
