Blue mold caused by Penicillium expansum is define as major disease inflicted heavy losses to cold storage apple fruits. As a result of investigations in Fruitgrowing Institute in Plovdiv as a potential antagonist were isolated and tested 264 morphologically different microorganisms. After primary and secondary screening 10 isolated were selected. A biotest was carried out with them in cold storage. Three isolates inhibit the development of blue mold over 50%.
