Implication

Randomized trial evaluates yeasts' antimicrobial effects against pathogens, suggesting potential biocontrol applications.

Key Points

  • This research investigates the antimicrobial potential of various yeast strains against pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms.
  • Evaluated a diverse range of taxonomically characterized yeast strains.
  • Conducted both direct-contact and VOC-mediated antimicrobial assays.
  • Focused on specific traits at the strain level regarding their antimicrobial activity.
  • Metschnikowia pulcherrima showed broad inhibitory activity against molds and bacteria.
  • Hanseniaspora and Wickerhamomyces exhibited antifungal and VOC-mediated antibacterial traits.
  • B. bruxellensis identified as a significant producer of bioactive VOCs against bacteria and molds.
