Summary

Pichia anomala is an antagonist yeast against a range of spoilage moulds in vitro as well as against Penicillium roqueforti in high-moisture wheat during malfunctioning airtight storage in laboratory experiments. The use of Pichia anomala to improve the postharvest control of Penicillium roqueforti during airtight storage of feed grain was evaluated in outdoor silos. The aerobic stability of moist wheat after 10 and 12 months of silo storage was clearly enhanced by an initial inoculation with Pichia anomala.
