Anti-bacterial effect of methyl trans-cinnamate in the mycorrhizosphere of Tricholoma matsutake
In this study, we examined the effect of methyl trans-cinnamate against the growth of the indigenous microbes in the mycorrhizosphere of Tricholoma matsutake that forms an ectomycorrhizal association with pines. Methyl trans-cinnamate inhibited the growth of most indigenous bacterial strains isolated from the mycorrhizosphere, but with no negative effect on the proliferation of Tricholoma matsutake. We might make use of this material in a successful cultivation of matsutake in the future.
