Summary

In the present study, two yeast antagonists, Cryptococcus laurentii (strain 317) and Candida ciferrii (strain 283) isolated from the surface of healthy apples, controlled blue mould of apple caused by Penicillium expansum. Both antagonists reduced the incidence of blue mould by 80% at 25 °C. At 5 °C, C. ciferrii (strain 283) maintained the efficacy of disease control, but C. laurentii (strain 317) only reduced disease incidence by 50%. Further research with mixtures of antagonist additives will be performed.
