Abstract
A biocontrol composition comprising an antagonistic microorganism and a sugar analog (2-deoxy-D-glucose) gives a level of control superior to that of either component when used alone and comparable to that of synthetic chemical fungicides. The antagonistic microorganism is an isolate of Candida saitoana and has resistance to the fungicidal activity of sugars and sugar analogs.
