Abstract

Antifungal activity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture, isolated from the toddy of Borassus flabellifer, has been studied in vitro on fish pathogenic watermoulds, viz., Achlya orion, Saprolegnia diclina, Aphanomyces laevis and Allomyces arbuscula. Poison-culture method has been used during the experimental procedure. The results have indicated that the effect of Sachharomyces cerevisiae culture was fungistatic and not fungicidal.
