Abstract: In recent years, increasing attention has been paid on the study of microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) not only because of the species diversity of MVOCsemitted microbes, but also the complexity and versatility of MVOCs. This review summarized the methods for MVOCs collection and analysis, diversity of MVOCsemitted fungal and bacterial species, diversity of antimicrobial MVOCs substances and its application in the biological control of plant diseases. Microbial volatiles represent a new frontier in bioprospecting. The discovery of new MVOCsemitted microbial species and the specific biological activity, function, action mechanism and application of MVOCs should be considered as important research areas.
