Biofilm production by Aureobasidium pullulans improves biocontrol against sour rot in citrus
Open accessAbstract
The biocontrol efficiency of Aureobasidium pullulans strain ACBL-77 against Geotrichum citri-aurantii, causal agent of sour rot in citrus, and their interactions were evaluated. For this, were evaluated the incorporation of nutrients in optimizing the antagonistic activity of the yeast, the competition for nutrients between microorganisms, the effect of nutrients on yeast cell and biofilm production and their correlation in the biocontrol of disease, the survival of yeast in citrus fruits and the interaction between microorganisms using scanning electron microscopy. Micronutrients (boric acid, cobalt chloride and ammonium molybdate) favoured the antagonistic action of A. pullulans. Ammonium sulfate 1% and sucrose 0.5% favoured the yeast during the competition between the microorganisms. The addition of ammonium sulfate (1%) in the yeast culture stimulated biofilm production and increased the antagonistic activity against the disease, as also allowed the better survival of yeast in wounded sites of citrus fruit. The yeast was found to be able to form biofilms on citrus, deforming the pathogen hyphae. These results showed the importance of the addition of nutrients in A. pullulans based-formulations when aiming for their use on a commercial scale. This is the first report of a positive correlation between the increase in the quantity of biofilm produced by A. pullulans, with increased antagonistic activity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
