The goal of the project is the application of new strains of A. pullulans or A. subglaciale with improved antagonistic activity against the most problematic plant pathogens and increased tolerance to environmental stress (e.g. low temperatures, UV radiation, low nutrient availability and desiccation). To reach this goal is of utmost importance since a sustainable production of high-quality and healthy food is one of the most important challenges of the modern world.
