An additional test of antagonistic activity was performed on
nectarines (Prunus persica var. Nectarinas Big Top). The nectarines
were sterilised and rinsed as above. Nectarines were damaged with
a sterile cork borer (3 mm wide x 3 mm deep), one lesion per fruit.
Then, 30 mL (108 cells/mL) of selected yeasts was inoculated, followed
by the addition of 30 mL of 105 spores/mL of pathogenic
moulds or plug of agar as described above.
