BIOLOGICAL CULTURE OF A STRAIN OF THE SPECIES PSEUDOMONAS GRAMINIS, USE OF SAID CULTURE AS AN ANTAGONIST FOR THE BIOCONTROL OF PATHOGENIC BACTERIA, AND METHOD FOR TREATING FRUIT WHICH COMPRISES A STEP OF APPLYING A PREPERATION THAT COMPRISES SAID CULTURE OF THE FRUIT

摘要

A substantially pure biological culture of a strain of the Pseudomonas graminis species deposited with number CBS124167 at the "Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures (CBS)" deposit institution in Utrecht, Netherlands. The use of culture CBS124167 as antagonist for the biological control of foodstuff-transmitted pathogenic bacteria in fruit for human consumption. A method for treating fruit that comprises the step of applying, to the fruit, a preparation that comprises a culture of a strain of the Pseudomonas graminis species deposited with number CBS124167 at the "Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures (CBS)" deposit institution in Utrecht, Netherlands. The application thereof makes it possible to reduce the growth of the pathogens during the product shelf life, especially when the cold chain is broken.
