However, the biological activities and functions of the VOCs are poorly understood. This work aimed to study the action of individual VOCs on the bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Arabidopsis thaliana plants, and fruit flies Drosophila melanogaster. VOCs used in the work included ketones, alcohols, and terpenes. The potent inhibitory effect on the growth of A. tumefaciens was shown for 2-octanone and isoamyl alcohol. Terpenes (\u2212)-limonene and (+)-\u03b1-pinene practically did not act on bacteria, even at high doses (up to 400 \u00b5mol). 2-Butanone and 2-pentanone increased the biomass of A. thaliana at doses of 200\u2013400 \u03bcmol by 1.5\u20132 times; 2-octanone had the same effect at 10 \u03bcmol and decreased plant biomass at higher doses. Isoamyl alcohol and 2-phenylethanol suppressed plant biomass several times at doses of 50\u2013100 \u03bcmol. Plant seed germination was most strongly suppressed by isoamyl alcohol and 2-phenylethanol. The substantial killing effect (at low doses) on D. melanogaster was exerted by the terpenes and the ketones 2-octanone and 2-pentanone. The obtained data showed new information about the biological activities of VOCs in relation to organisms belonging to different kingdoms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms10010069","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,30]],"date-time":"2021-12-30T23:29:07Z","timestamp":1640906947000},"page":"69","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["The Effect of Volatile Organic Compounds on Different Organisms: Agrobacteria, Plants and Insects"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Daria E.","family":"Sidorova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Molecular Genetics of National Research Center \u201cKurchatov Institute\u201d, Kurchatov sq. 2, 123182 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3127-4114","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vladimir A.","family":"Plyuta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Molecular Genetics of National Research Center \u201cKurchatov Institute\u201d, Kurchatov sq. 2, 123182 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Darya A.","family":"Padiy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Molecular Genetics of National Research Center \u201cKurchatov Institute\u201d, Kurchatov sq. 2, 123182 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia, 125480 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8106-5911","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Evgeniya V.","family":"Kupriyanova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genetics, Faculty of Biology, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Leninskiye Gory 1\/12, 119234 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Natalia V.","family":"Roshina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Molecular Genetics of National Research Center \u201cKurchatov Institute\u201d, Kurchatov sq. 2, 123182 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2913-9017","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olga A.","family":"Koksharova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Molecular Genetics of National Research Center \u201cKurchatov Institute\u201d, Kurchatov sq. 2, 123182 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"A.N.
