Microorganisms (viruses, bacteria and fungi) or their bioactive agents can be used as active substances and therefore are referred as Microbial Pest Control Agents (MPCA).
Secondary metabolism occurs in bacteria
during the stationary phase of growth and is concomitant with a switch
in energy and carbon flux away from biomass production toward the
production of small, bioactive molecules (secondary metabolites)
