Post-harvest losses of fruits and vegetables are 20-50 % in developing countries and one of the causes of these losses include postharvest diseases.Environment-friendly management of post-harvest diseases is the need of the hour due to the harmful effects of

Isolation, Morphological Characterization and Screening of Yeast Isolates from Different Fruit Samples of Raichur District, Karnataka, India

“…The YEPD media (20 gm-peptone, 20 gmdextrose, 10 gm-yeast extract, 15 gm-agar) was used for the isolation of yeast by using the spread plate method. Plates were incubated for 24 h at 30°C [4]. The isolates were maintained in slants containing YEPD media and were kept in the refrigerator at 4°C for further use.…”
