Oxylipins are metabolites produced by the oxidative transformation of Poly unsaturated fatty acids. In the present study, the plant oxylipins are screened for their antibacterial activity against Erwinia herbicola, Enterobacter cloacae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and xanthomonas axonopodis, the bacterial plant pathogens interfering with papaya cultivation. In vitro growth inhibition studies showed that 13-LOX metabolites are potential bactericidal agents compared to 9-LOX metabolites.
