Ethylene quantification in three rhizobacterial isolates from Striga hermonthica-infested maize and sorghum

Egyptian Journal of Biology, 2010
Volatiles from the headspace of three rhizobacteria (Pseudomonas sp. 4MKS8, Klebsiella oxytoca 10MKR7 and Enterobacter sakazakii 8MR5) isolated from sorghum and maize rhizospheres were analysed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for ethylene. The ethylene released ranged from trace concentrations in Pseudomonas sp. 4MKS8, 72
