Abstract

In the framework of the study of the mode of action of biocontrol agents (BCAs) it is important to know if BCAs areantibiotic-producers. Epicoccum nigrum 282 and Candida sake CPA-1 are BCAs effective against post-harvest pathogensof stone and pome fruits. The antibiotics produced by these BCAs and the relationship to biocontrol were studied.Production of antibiotics by E. nigrum in in vitro cultures began at 5 days of incubation being maximal at different timesdepending on media used. However, no antibiotic was detected when E. nigrum was grown in a solid state-fermentationsystem or in peaches. In the case of C. sake, no antibiotic was detected either in vitro, in liquid fermentation culturesof the yeast, or in apples.
