BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF DISEASES OF HARVESTED AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES USING STRAINS OF THE YEAST CANDIDA OLEOPHILA
Patent Number: 5741699
Docket Number: 8395
Serial Number: 8405109
Date Patented: 04/21/1998
Agency:

Abstract:
The invention involves a method for biologically controlling postharvest rots on fruit using strains of Candida
oleophila (C. Oleophila). The postharvest treatment of fruit with antagonistic microorganisms is an effective
approach to control postharvest rot. The organisms were isolated from the surface of tomato fruit, and are
useful for the control of a variety of fruit-rot pathogens in a variety of fruits.
