Mechanism of <i>Lysobacter enzymogenes</i> resistance toward fungi induced by fungal-derived signal α-terpinene
The complex interactions between bacteria and fungi play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem balance and biodiversity. This study elucidates the molecular mechanism by which α-terpinene, as a fungal-derived signaling molecule, regulates biofilm formation and antifungal activity in <i>Lysobacter enzymogenes</i> YC36 (<i>Le</i>YC36) and preliminarily establishes the signaling regulatory pathway of α-terpinene. These findings advance our understanding of interkingdom signals between bacteria and fungi and provide a theoretical framework for developing biocontrol technologies using microbial signaling molecules.
