Resumo Inglês:

Yeasts isolated from sugar cane and maize rhizosphere, leaves and stalks were screened against the
phytopathogenic molds Colletotrichum sublineolum and Colletotrichum graminicola, both causal agents of the
anthracnose disease in sorghum and maize, respectively. Strains identified as Torulaspora globosa and Candida
intermedia were able to inhibit the mold growth, with the first species also exhibiting killer activity. No previous
report on the application and potentiality of these yeasts as biocontrol agents were found neither the killer
phenotype in Torulaspora globosa.
