The fruit microbiome: A new frontier for postharvest biocontrol and postharvest biology

Evaluation of the Native Killer Yeasts against the Postharvest Phytopathogenic mould of Balady Orange Fruits

“…Twenty eight yeast isolates were isolated from seven habitats of seven different orange orchards, of which 16 isolates (57.2%) were from orange leaves and 12 isolates (42.8%) from the surface of healthy fruits. These results are consistent with a previous study by [55] who reported that microorganisms naturally present on the fruit surface (such as yeast) account for most of the biological control agents used to control post-harvest disease. Yeasts in fruits and vegetables have been targeted as potential biological control agents for post-harvest diseases, due to their properties that enable them to improve their ability to colonize fruit surfaces.…”

Functional and Genomic Analysis of Rouxiella badensis SER3 as a Novel Biocontrol Agent of Fungal Pathogens

“…In agreement with the aforementioned studies, the fruit microbiome has been reported to contain not only pathogenic species but also microorganisms that can naturally help fight postharvest diseases, thus reducing losses through increased shelf life and fruit quality (Droby and Wisniewski, 2018). Consequently, we isolated the SER3 strain from the surface of a strawberry fruit, and it showed antifungal activity against Fusarium (Supplementary Figure 1).…”

Endophyte community shifts in Rubus chingii during fruit ripening are associated with key metabolites

“…Complementing these bacterial insights, FUNGuild analysis revealed an increase in saprotrophic fungi in red stage fruit (RYR), illustrating a classic ecological succession pattern wherein decomposers thrive as soluble sugars accumulate and tissue integrity declines, a hallmark of ripe fruit microbial communities. This progression toward saprotrophy aligns with the broader concept of the fruit microbiome shifting from a biotrophic to a necrotrophic phase as the organ senesces, thereby facilitating seed dispersal and nutrient recycling ( Droby and Wisniewski, 2018 ).…”
