“…In a previous work, we reported the biocontrol of B. cinerea or P. expansum with yeast mixtures. Although we did not obtain any mixtures that were effective against the two main fruit rots at the same time, the efficacy of the biological control of these postharvest diseases were improved using antagonist mixtures (Calvo et al 2003). We also reported that the yeasts R. glutinis and C. laurentii and the bacterium R. aquatilis were the most common microorganisms isolated from apple wounds.…”

“…Janisiewicz (1996) has also reported an increment in the control of blue mould by mixtures of yeasts with different nutritional profiles. In a previous work, we reported the use of yeast mixtures on apple fruit for controlling P. expansum and B. cinerea and studied interactions between yeast strains (Calvo et al 2003). Mixtures of yeasts were also studied by Conway et al (2007).…”

Antagonistic activity of the mixtures Rahnella aquatilis-Rhodotorula glutinis and R. aquatilis-Cryptococcus laurentii was assessed against Penicillium expansum (cause of blue rot) and Botrytis cinerea (cause of grey rot) on apple fruit at 4°C and 95% relative humidity (RH). Under these cold-storage conditions, the mixture R. aquatilis-R. glutinis inhibited the development of B. cinerea and P. expansum in apples stored for 40 days and reduced the incidence of disease produced by these moulds to nearly zero. The other mixture, R. aquatilis-C. laurentii, was less effective; the incidences of the grey rot and the blue rot were about 25% and 15%, respectively. Population dynamics of the mixtures showed that the growth of R. aquatilis was strongly stimulated by the presence of the yeast R. glutinis, but in the case of the mixture R. aquatilis-C. laurentii, the same effect could not be observed. In this study, it was demonstrated that the combination of two microorganisms with different requirements and antagonistic abilities resulted in a successful mixture against the two pathogen molds, B. cinerea and P. expansum. In addition, it was also proved that it is possible to improve the biocontrol of these pathogens without increasing the inoculum size of the antagonist (alone or in mixtures), which was always 10 6 cell/ml, despite the high concentration of the pathogen (10 6 conidia/ml) utilized.

“…In a study of the biological control of Armillaria root rot of strawberry plants by Raziq and Fox (2005), all the strawberry plants treated with Trichoderma harzianum isolates or T. viride isolate alone died by the end of the experiment, while 50% of them survived when treated with a combination of any of the antagonists with Dactylium dendroides. Calvo et al (2003) improved the biocontrol efficiency of postharvest diseases of apples (Penicillium expansum and Botrytis cinerea) by using mixtures of yeasts (Rhodotorula glutinis, Cryptococcus albidus and C. laurentii) without increasing the amount of antagonists applied. Haggag and Nofal (2006) revealed that the multibiocontrol agents namely Trichoderma koningii, T. hamatum, Pseudomonas fluorescens, P. putida, Tilletiopsis minor, and T. washingtonensis were more effective against Botryodiplodia disease (Lasiodiplodia theobromae = Botryodiplodia theobromae) on some Annona cultivars when applied in combination than when applied individually or even when applied in any combination of two agents.…”

Plant pathogens cause severe losses or damage to crops worldwide and thereby significantly reduce the quality and quantity of agricultural commodities. World tendencies are shifting towards reducing the usage of chemically synthesized pesticides, while various biocontrol methods, strategies and approaches are being used in plant disease management. Fungal antagonists play a significant role in controlling plant pathogens and diseases and they are used as Biocontrol Agents (BCAs) throughout the world. This review provides a comprehensive list of fungal BCAs used against fungal plant pathogens according to modern taxonomic concepts, and clarifies their phylogenetic relationships because thewrong names are frequently used in the literature of biocontrol. Details of approximately 300 fungal antagonists belonging to 13 classes and 113 genera are listed together with the target pathogens and corresponding plant diseases. Trichoderma is identified as the genus with greatest potential comprising 25 biocontrol agents that have been used against a number of plant fungal diseases. In addition to Trichoderma, nine genera are recognized as significant comprising five or more known antagonistic species, namely, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Candida, Fusarium, Penicillium, Pichia, Pythium, Talaromyces, and Verticillium. A phylogenetic analysis based on partial sequences of the 28S nrRNA gene (LSU) of fungal antagonists was performed to establish their phylogenetic relationships.

“…The mixed application of various antagonistic yeasts is also considered to be an effective way to broaden the antifungal spectrum of biocontrol reagents and to enhance the biocontrol efficacy. Calvo et al found that the combined application of R. glutinis and C. laurentii improved their ability to control gray mold on apples [111]. However, it should be noted that compatibility between mixed antagonistic yeasts is necessary to ensure that their normal growth and function are maintained.…”

Fruit plays an important role in human diet. Whereas, fungal pathogens cause huge losses of fruit during storage and transportation, abuse of chemical fungicides leads to serious environmental pollution and endangers human health. Antagonistic yeasts (also known as biocontrol yeasts) are promising substitutes for chemical fungicides in the control of postharvest decay owing to their widespread distribution, antagonistic ability, environmentally friendly nature, and safety for humans. Over the past few decades, the biocontrol mechanisms of antagonistic yeasts have been extensively studied, such as nutrition and space competition, mycoparasitism, and induction of host resistance. Moreover, combination of antagonistic yeasts with other agents or treatments were developed to improve the biocontrol efficacy. Several antagonistic yeasts are used commercially. In this review, the application of antagonistic yeasts for postharvest decay control is summarized, including the antagonistic yeast species and sources, antagonistic mechanisms, commercial applications, and efficacy improvement. Issues requiring further study are also discussed.
