Competition among fungi

The Botanical Review Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Conclusion

Competition among members of the microflora leads the investigator into many strange and diverse by-paths. Microorganisms in their metabolism give off by-products, many of which are inhibitory in nature; some have stimulatory effects. These products and activities properly controlled will give us much insight into the proper care of cultures, a natural and effective method of controlling some diseases and, possibly, chemical products of economic value.
