The antagonistic Metschnikowia andauensis produces extracellular enzymes and pulcherrimin, whose production can be promoted by the culture factors

Abstract Biological control against microbial infections has a great potential as an alternative approach instead of fungicidal chemicals, which can cause environmental pollution. The pigment producer Metschnikowia andauensis belongs to the antagonistic yeasts, but details of the mechanism by which...
