  • Inhibiting plant pathogens with an antagonistic microorganism(s)
    Patent number: 6500425
    Abstract: The present invention is drawn to biological control of plant pathogens (e.g. either preharvest or postharvest diseases) on agricultural commodities (such as fruits, vegetables, cereals, grains, nuts, seeds and silage) by use of at least one microorganism which is an antagonist against plant pathogens.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 1994
    Date of Patent: December 31, 2002
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture
    Inventors: Randy J. McLaughlin, Charles L. Wilson, Edo Chalutz

    Patent number: 5780023
    Abstract: The present invention is drawn to biological control of plant pathogens (e.g. either preharvest or postharvest diseases) on agricultural commodities (such as fruits, vegetables, cereals, grains, nuts, seeds and silage) by use of at least one microorganism which is an antagonist against plant pathogens.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 27, 1996
    Date of Patent: July 14, 1998
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture
    Inventors: Randy J. McLaughlin, Charles L. Wilson, Edo Chalutz
  • Biological control of diseases of harvested agricultural commodities using strains of the yeast candida oleophila
    Patent number: 5741699
    Abstract: The present invention is drawn to isolates of Candida oleophila which are effective for the control of postharvest diseases in fruit and to biocontrol compositions which include such isolates. A method of utilizing the isolates to inhibit pathogens which cause postharvest diseases is also described. The organisms were isolated from the surface of tomato fruit and are useful for the control of a variety of fruit-rot pathogens in a variety of fruits.

  • Pichia guilliermondii (Anamorph Candida guilliermondii) useful for the biological control of postharvest rots in fruits
    Patent number: 5041384
    Abstract: The present invention is drawn to processes for biologically controlling postharvest disease in fruit using isolates of Pichia guilliermondii having the identifying characteristics of NRRL Y-18313, NRRL Y-18314, and NRRL Y-18654. The organisms were isolated from the surface of citrus fruits and are useful to control a variety of fruit-rot pathogens in a variety of fruits. Also disclosed is a biologically pure culture of at least one isolate of Pichia guilliermondii having the identifying characteristics of an isolate selected from the group consisting of NRRL Y-18313, NRRL Y-18314, and NRRL Y-18654.
