Abstract:Cocoa-bean fermentation has been associated with the involvement of diverse microbial assemblages which consist of a wide array of bacteria and yeast. We attempted to screen and to identify the potential antifungal yeast from this assemblage against phytopathogenic fungi. We employed in-vitro antagonism assay using agar plug methods to performpreliminary screening from 35 yeast isolates followed by total protein production and measurement with Bradford methods. We found three yeast strains that were effective … Show more
