Abstract
In this present research, two yeast antagonists Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (strain A7) and Pichia guilliermomdii (strain A6) isolated from the surface of healthy apples, controlled blue mould of apple caused by Penicillium expansum. This yeast applied instead of fungicide, whatever hazard health and environment. Both antagonists were evaluated as a potential biological control agent for apple blue mould caused by P. expansum. Dual culture, cell free metabolite and volatile test were used in vitro assay. Colony area was recorded compared with controls and percentage of growth inhibition was calculated. Both yeast strains of two genus inhibited growth of P. expansum, the inhibition varied among isolates of two genuses and ranged from 34.51 to 57.62, in dual culture, from 71.86 to 82.6 in volatile metabolite and from 86.03 to 88.77in cell free metabolite test. Both antagonists reduced the incidence of blue mould by 70% at 20 °C. At 5 °C P. guilliermomdii (strain A6) maintained the efficacy of disease control, but R. mucilaginosa (strain A7) only reduced disease incidence by 60%. Moreover P. guilliermomdii (strain A6) exhibited significant protection at lower concentrations than R. mucilaginosa (strain A7). The population of both strains increased in wounds of apples at 20 and 5 °C, and both strains maintained viable over a period of 32 days at 5 °C. Separately, effect of CaCl2 was mixed yeast was evaluated in 25°C. The different of concentration CaCl2 reduced decay area from 185.07 to 1738.037 mm 2 compared to 2452.84mm 2 in
