The Bacteriological Properties of Bacillus Strain TM-I-3 and Analysis of the Volatile Antifungal Compounds Emitted by this Bacteria.

In this study, we revealed the bacteriological properties of TM-I-3 and evaluated the antifungal activity of the compounds emitted from this bacterium. In addition, we analyzed the antimicrobial substances released from TM-I-3 using GC/MS to elucidate the mechanism of its action. Antimicrobial compounds from strain TM-I-3 were identified as acetic acid, propanoic acid, isovaleric acid, 2-methylbutanoic acid, and benzaldehyde, which are all reported to have antimicrobial activity. TM-I-3 demonstrated possible efficacy in inhibiting the growth of Aspergillus fumigatus, Cladosporium cladosporioides and Penicillium expansum, which may lead to inhibition of common fungal contaminants of household products and prevention of some pulmonary diseases.
