What is Biological Control of Apple Spoilage about?
This document discusses using the bacterium Rahnella aquatilis to control postharvest spoilage caused by Penicillium expansum and Botrytis cinerea in apples. In vitro assays showed R. aquatilis inhibited spore germination of both pathogens. Biological control assays on apples at different temperatures found R. aquatilis reduced decay from P. expansum by nearly 100% at 15°C and reduced B. cinerea decay severity by nearly 64% at 15°C. At 4°C, R. aquatilis inhibited B. cinerea development and reduced disease i
