NEW STRAIN OF YEAST CANDIDA SAKE (SAITO AND OTA) VAN UDEN AND BUCKLEY AND ITS USE AS A BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AGENT OF POST-HARVEST DISEASES IN FRUITS. A NEW STRAIN OF YEAST CANDIDA SAKE (SAITO AND OTA VENUE) AND BUCKLEY AND ITS USE AS A BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AGENT FOR POST-HARVEST FUNGIC DISEASES IN FRUITS. Said strain, deposited with the number CECT-10817, is used as an antagonist for the fungi responsible for the rottenness of the fruit after its collection and during the storage period. THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SUCH ANTAGONIST RESULTS TO BE VERY HIGH AND IS COMPARABLE TO THAT OF THE MOST USED ANTIFUNGAL CHEMICALS. SUCH ACTIVITY SHOWS WITH SPECIAL INTENSITY WHEN STORAGE CONDITIONS AT LOW TEMPERATURES AND IN POOR ENVIRONMENTS IN OXYGEN OCCUR. THE ANTAGONIST IS EFFECTIVE TO COMBAT THE CROWD CAUSED BY, AMONG OTHER MICROORGANISMS, THE FUNGI OF SPECIES BOTRYTIS CINEREA, PENICILLIUM EXPANSUM AND RHIZOPUS NIGRICANS.
