TL;DR: The ability of A. pullulans to increase activities of b-1,3-glucanase, chitinase, and peroxidase in addition to its known capacity to out-compete pathogen for nutrients and space, may be the basis of its biocontrol activity.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of Landsat images, geomorphic and stratigraphic studies, and optically stimulated luminescence dating of dunes in the Azefal, Agneitir, and Akchar sand seas provide evidence that three main generations of Dunes were formed during the periods 25-15 ka (centered around the Last Glacial Maximum), 10-13 ka (spanning the Younger Dryas event), and after 5 ka.
Abstract: The western Sahara Desert in Mauritania is dominated by extensive sand seas consisting largely of linear dunes. Analyses of Landsat images, geomorphic and stratigraphic studies, and optically stimulated luminescence dating of dunes in the Azefal, Agneitir, and Akchar sand seas provide evidence that three main generations of dunes were formed during the periods 25–15 ka (centered around the Last Glacial Maximum), 10–13 ka (spanning the Younger Dryas event), and after 5 ka. The wind regimes that occurred during each of these periods were significantly different, leading to the formation of dunes on three distinct superimposed trends—northeast, north-northeast, and north—and the development of the sand seas as composite geomorphic features.

TL;DR: Sodium carbonate enhanced the efficacy of all treatments tested against green mold with the greatest effect on light green lemons, and C. saitoana in combination with 0.2% glycolchitosan was the most effective in controlling green mold of both light green and yellow lemons.

TL;DR: The bioactive coating was more effective in controlling decay of several cultivars of apples than either C. saitoana or 0.2% glycolchitosan alone and the incidence of stem-end rot of cv.
Abstract: The efficacy of the combination of Candida saitoana with 0.2% glycolchitosan (the bioactive coating) as a biocontrol treatment of postharvest diseases of apple and citrus fruit was evaluated in tests with natural inoculations that simulated commercial packinghouse conditions. The growth of C. saitoana in apple wounds and on fruit surfaces was not affected by glycolchitosan. The bioactive coating was more effective in controlling decay of several cultivars of apples (Red Delicious, Rome, Golden Delicious, and Empire) than either C. saitoana or 0.2% glycolchitosan alone. Depending on the apple cultivar used, the bioactive coating was comparable or superior to thiabendazole in reducing decay. The bioactive coating was also superior to C. saitoana in controlling decay of oranges (cvs. Washington navel, Valencia, Pineapple, and Hamlin) and cv. Eureka lemons, and the control level was equivalent to that with imazalil. The bioactive coating and imazalil treatments offered consistent control of decay on Washington navel oranges and Eureka lemons in early and late seasons, while C. saitoana or 0.2% glycolchitosan were most effective on early-season fruit. The combination of C. saitoana with 0.2% glycolchitosan also reduced the incidence of stem-end rot of cv. Valencia oranges, but control was less effective than treatment with imazalil.
