Effective growth restriction of Botrytis cinerea and Colletotrichum fioriniae by winegrape-associated native non- Saccharomyces yeasts
Key Points
This research aims to evaluate the potential of native non-Saccharomyces yeasts in controlling grape diseases and their use in fermentation processes.
Identified and isolated native non-Saccharomyces yeasts from winegrape sources.
Assessed the effectiveness of these yeasts in inhibiting growth of Botrytis cinerea and Colletotrichum fioriniae.
Evaluated potential fermentation qualities of the beneficial yeasts.
Certain yeasts significantly restricted the growth of Botrytis cinerea and Colletotrichum fioriniae.
These yeasts showed promise as effective fermentation starters for winemaking.
The findings indicate a dual purpose for these yeasts in disease management and fermentation.
Abstract
This study suggested that these yeasts may not only be valuable in disease control but could also serve as effective fermentation starters, warranting further validation in a more practical setting.
