Currently, plant diseases and insect infestations are mainly controlled by the extraneous
application of pesticides. Unfortunately, the indiscriminate use of such agrochemicals can …

Rhizobacteria strains were characterized for ability to synthesize hydrogen cyanide and for
effects on seedling root growth of various plants. Approximately 32% of bacteria from a …

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria produce chemical compounds with different benefits
for the plant. Among them, HCN is recognized as a biocontrol agent, based on its ascribed …

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial compound involved in
biological control of root diseases by many plant-associated fluorescent pseudomonads …

Cyanogenic glucosides are among the most widespread defense chemicals of plants. Upon
plant tissue disruption, these glucosides are hydrolyzed to a reactive hydroxynitrile that …

A few bacterial species are known to produce and excrete hydrogen cyanide (HCN), a
potent inhibitor of cytochrome c oxidase and several other metalloenzymes. In the producer …

A cyanide-metabolizing bacterium, strain DF3, isolated from soil was identified as
Alcaligenes xylosoxidans subsp. denitrificans. Whole cells and cell extracts of strain DF3 …

The production of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) by Pseudomonas putida ATH-1RI/9 and
Acidovarax delafieldii ATH2-2RS/1 and its effect on the growth of velvetleaf (Abutilon …

The secondary metabolite hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is produced by Pseudomonas
fluorescens from glycine, essentially under microaerophilic conditions. The genetic basis of …

Inorganic cyanide and nitrile compounds are distributed widely in the environment, chiefly
as a result of anthropogenic activity but also through cyanide synthesis by a range of …
