Abstract
The synergistic biocontrol effects of Cryptococcus laurentii cultured with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) were studied to control Penicillium italicum in postharvest grapefruit. The results showed that C. laurentii was cultured in 0.5 % (w/v) CMC (CMC-C. laurentii) significantly inhibited elongation of germ tubes, decreased germination of conidia in P. italicum, and reduced disease in grapefruit. Besides, CMC significantly increased ATP synthase and population proliferation of C. laurentii. Moreover, metabolomics analysis revealed 24 significantly differentially metabolites in CMC-C. laurentii including the citrate cycle, metabolism of glyoxylic acid, dicarboxylic acid, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan and amino acid biosynthesis. These results demonstrate that CMC could significantly enhance the ATP synthase by promoting the citrate cycle, providing energy for strain growth, and thereby increasing the biocontrol effectiveness of C. laurentii. Furthermore, adding CMC enhanced the activities of strain extracellular hydrolases and antioxidases, which increased the resistance to stress, thus improving the antagonistic effect of C. laurentii.
期刊介绍:
The journal is devoted exclusively to the publication of original papers, review articles and frontiers articles on biological and technological postharvest research. This includes the areas of postharvest storage, treatments and underpinning mechanisms, quality evaluation, packaging, handling and distribution of fresh horticultural crops including fruit, vegetables, flowers and nuts, but excluding grains, seeds and forages.
Papers reporting novel insights from fundamental and interdisciplinary research will be particularly encouraged. These disciplines include systems biology, bioinformatics, entomology, plant physiology, plant pathology, (bio)chemistry, engineering, modelling, and technologies for nondestructive testing.
Manuscripts on fresh food crops that will be further processed after postharvest storage, or on food processes beyond refrigeration, packaging and minimal processing will not be considered.
