Soil is one of the major habitats of bacteria and fungi. In this arena their interactions are part of a communication network that keeps microhabitats in balance. Prominent mediator molecules of these inter- and intraorganismic relationships are inorganic and organic microbial volatile compounds (mVOCs). In this review the state of the art regarding the wealth of mVOC emission is presented. To date, ca. 300 bacteria and fungi were described as VOC producers and approximately 800 mVOCs were compiled in DOVE-MO (database of volatiles emitted by microorganisms). Furthermore, this paper summarizes morphological and phenotypical alterations and reactions that occur in the organisms due to the presence of mVOCs. These effects might provide clues for elucidating the biological and ecological significance of mVOC emissions and will help to unravel the entirety of belowground' volatile-wired' interactions.
土壤是细菌和真菌的主要栖息地之一。在这个领域，它们的相互作用是维持微生境平衡的交流网络的一部分。这些种间和种内关系的主要介导分子是无机和有机微生物挥发性化合物（mVOCs）。在这篇综述中，介绍了 mVOC 排放的最新研究进展。迄今为止，约有 300 种细菌和真菌被描述为 VOC 产生者，并且在 DOVE-MO（微生物挥发物数据库）中已经编译了大约 800 种 mVOC。此外，本文还总结了由于 mVOC 的存在而导致生物体发生的形态和表型改变和反应。这些影响可能为阐明 mVOC 排放的生物学和生态学意义提供线索，并有助于揭示地下“挥发性连接”相互作用的全貌。
