In the results this study, were verified that in the fruits treated with A. pullulans ACBL-77, preventively, the control percentage was higher than the curative treatment. The potato-dextrose-agar medium promoted the highest amount of yeast cells. The incorporation of micronutrients, such as boric acid, cobalt chloride and ammonium molybdate (1 mM), favoured the antagonistic action of A. pullulans in vitro. Ammonium sulphate 1mM and sucrose 0.5% favoured the yeast during the competition between the microorganisms. However, the addition of ammonium sulphate at 1% in the yeast culture stimulated biofilm production and consequently increased the antagonistic activity against the pathogen in vivo. The application of A. pullulans to fruits allowed the better survival of yeast in wounded sites of citrus fruit. The yeast was found to be able to form biofilm on citrus, deforming the ...
