TY - JOUR AU - Yue, T. AB - Agrobacterium tumefacien, Bacillus subtilis, Aims: This study was conducted to evaluate the biocontrol potential of biocontrol, patulin removal, Penicillium Bacillus subtilis CICC 10034, Rhodobacter sphaeroides CGMCC 1.2182 and expansum, Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Agrobacterium tumefaciens CGMCC 1.2554 against patulin (PAT)-producer Correspondence Penicillium expansum and their ability to remove PAT. Tianli Yue, College of Food Science and Methods and Results: Bacillus subtilis effectively inhibited P. expansum both Engineering, Northwest A&F University, on apples and in in vitro experiments, which reduced the rot diameter on Yangling, Shaanxi 712100, China. apples by 38% compared with the control. The reduction was followed by E-mail: yuetl305@nwsuaf.edu.cn those induced by A. tumefaciens (2763%) and R. sphaeroides (2367%). None 2016/0718: received 3 April 2016, revised 15 of the cell-free supernatant (CFS) was able to prevent pathogen growth. Three June 2016 and accepted 16 June 2016 antagonists could suppress PAT production by P. expansum on apples by 985, 937 and 9499% after treatment with B. subtilis, R. sphaeroides and doi:10.1111/jam.13208 A. tumefaciens respectively. In addition, the three strains led to a 056– 147 log CFU g reduction in colony number of P. expansum on apples. Survival of antagonists on apple wounds revealed their tolerance to PAT.
