Description
Bassma Mahmoud Elkhairy and co-authors test a yeast as a biocontrol agent against plant fungal diseases, in this 2023 Europe PMC paper. Fungal pathogens cut crop yields and spoil stored produce, and chemical controls carry hazards. The yeast Pichia kudriavzevii can inhibit fungal growth, making it a candidate for greener protection.
Two new strains were isolated from olive brine and identified by DNA sequencing. Both consistently slowed pathogenic fungi in lab tests, with one strain stronger. Both also controlled grey mold on golden delicious apples after harvest. A bioinformatics pipeline predicted which secreted proteins might do the antifungal work. The authors frame the strains as sustainable, eco-friendly candidates for post-harvest disease control.
