Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Dipping citrus fruit in the yeast suspension effectively inhibited development of decay.
- Observation Kloeckera apiculata grew efficiently on different media.
- Observation Kloeckera apiculata maintained antagonistic activity against spore germination of Penicillium italicum.
- Observation The yeast was compatible with a mixture of low concentration of a commonly chemical fungicide.
- Intervention effect Combining the yeast with 40 mg/kg carbendazim reduced decay incidence to a level equal to the commercial 200 mg/kg MBC treatment.
- Intervention effect Efficacy of strain 34-9 was maintained at a cell concentration as low as 10 6 cells/ml under packinghouse conditions.
- Intervention effect No significant difference in efficacy of Kloeckera apiculata was found between drench and spray application.
- Observation Scanning electron microscopy revealed attachment of yeast cells to pathogen hyphae.
