INSIGHTS INTO THE LEMON (CITRUS LIMON) EPIPHYTIC MICROBIOME: IMPACT OF THE BIOCONTROL YEAST CLAVISPORA LUSITANIAE 146

Insights into the lemon (Citrus limon) epiphytic microbiome: impact of the biocontrol yeast Clavispora lusitaniae 146

Abstract Background Postharvest lemons are affected by several fungal infections, and as alternatives to chemical fungicides for combating these infections, different microbial biocontrol agents have been studied, with the Clavispora lusitaniae 146 strain standing out.Although strain 146 has proven to be an effective agent, the influence of a micro

Probing molecular photophysics in a matter-wave interferometer

We show that matter-wave diffraction off a single standing laser wave can be used as an accurate measurement scheme for photophysical molecular parameters.These include state-dependent optical polarizabilities and photon-absorption Eyeglasses cross sections, the relaxation rates for fluorescence, internal conversion, and intersystem crossing, as we
