Inhibitory and Toxic Effects of Volatiles Emitted by Strains of Pseudomonas and Serratia on Growth and Survival of Selected Microorganisms, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Drosophila melanogaster

Table 5

The production of CN (mean, ) by Pseudomonas and Serratia strains. P.  fluorescens Pf-5 [20] was used as positive while strain P.  fluorescens 2–79 as negative controls [21]. HCN production by each strain was detected in two repeats.
