Metschnikowia fructicola, a New Ascosporic Yeast with Potential for Biocontrol of Postharvest Fruit Rots
Abstract
A new ascosporic yeast, Metschnikowia fructicola (type strain NRRL Y-27328, CBS 8853), is described and was isolated from grapes grown in central Israel. Preliminary tests indicate the new species has biocontrol activity against Botrytis rot of stored grapes. Phylogenetic analysis of domain D1/D2 26S rDNA sequences showed M. fructicola to be a sister species of M. pulcherrima.

M. fructicola isolate NRRL Y-30752 was isolated and discovered in Israel and developed and registered as a biocontrol product for preventing postharvest diseases, particularly in sweet potato and carrot.
“Originally, M. fructicola, isolate NRRL Y-30752, was isolated and discovered in Israel and developed and registered as a biocontrol product for preventing postharvest diseases, particularly in sweet potato and carrot (Eshel et al. 2009; Kurtzman and Droby 2001; Wisniewski and Droby 2012).”

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.
