Small Signaling Molecules (SSMs) as an Important Mediator to Establish Beneficial Bacterial-Fungal Interaction in Agricultural Environment

Abstract

Microorganisms share common environment through close connection in nature, and build up a social environment between them that impact their growth and development in synergistic and/or antagonistic way. These interactions are generally regulated by the small signaling molecules (SSMs), which actually act as a driven factor ensuring the abundance of both the kingdoms in a common environment. In this article we will discuss about the perception, interaction, responses and mode of action of these biochemical compounds in agricultural environment.
