ABSTRACT :
The screening of industrial yeasts for control of Penicillium, caused by P. digitatum, rot in lemons is reported. Isolates of yeasts used in food processing were obtained and suspensions were used to inoculate unsprayed lemons. Of 150 industrial yeast isolates screened, 7 reduced Penicillium rot, with one Saccharomyces cerevisiae and 3 Kluyveromyces isolates providing complete control. None of the 7 isolates were found to produce antibiotics.
