Growth inhibition of various Enterobacteriaceae species by the yeast Hansenula anomala during storage of moist cereal grain.
Eleven of 13 Enterobacteriaceae species tested grew in moist stored wheat, highlighting a potential risk of this energy-saving airtight storage method. When Hansenula anomala was coinoculated, all Enterobacteriaceae species were significantly inhibited after 2 months of storage, six of them to below the detection limit.
