| Abstract This study aimed to propose a safe methodology for the control anthracnose caused by the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in the papaya ( Carica papayaL.). In addition, yeast present in epiphytic microbiota associated with this fruit were isolated and selected as biocontrol agents, its use in classical and integrated biological control protocols with GRAS substances. For selection as biocontrol agents, the obtained isolates were tested for their ability to: produce antagonistic substances against C. gloeosporioides, not grow at 37ºC and subsequently tested for their potential control. Considering the total of 85 isolated yeasts, only UFT 5852 was selected in the above mentioned tests and due to this it was used in biological control tests in... |
