IRON COMPETITION AS AN IMPORTANT MECHANISM OF PULCHERRIMIN-PRODUCING METSCHNIKOWIA SP. STRAINS FOR CONTROLLING POSTHARVEST FUNGAL DECAYS ON CITRUS FRUIT

Iron Competition as an Important Mechanism of Pulcherrimin-Producing Metschnikowia sp. Strains for Controlling Postharvest Fungal Decays on Citrus Fruit

This study identified and tested fruit-isolated Metschnikowia yeasts against three major postharvest citrus pathogens, namely, Penicillium digitatum, Penicillium italicum, and Geotrichum citri-aurantii, and further evaluated the impact of FeCl3 on the biocontrol efficiency of pulcherrimin-producing M.pulcherrima strains.Based on the characterizatio
