Abstract
Out of 215 isolates of epiphytic bacteria originated from apple leaves and fruits 12 isolates showed outstanding activity in limitation of gray mold and blue mold on apple fruits.
Some of those isolates showed better efficacy when they were used in higher concentration.
Generally, the tested bacterial isolates better protected fruits against B. cinerea and P. expansum in cold storage than in room temperature.
Also, as fruits were more matured their protection was more difficult.
Most of the selected isolates were not active in inhibition of the growth of both pathogens on agar medium.
