Rapid molecular technique for identification of a biological control agent <i>Rhodosporidium diobovatum</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The purpose of this study was to develop a rapid molecular technique for identification of the biological control agent, Rhodosporidium diobovatum. DNA from all yeast cultures described below was extracted, amplified by PCR using primers specific to septate fungi, and fixed to nylon membranes. Using sequence information obtained from the GenBank database, Rhodosporidium diobovatum-specific oligonucleotides were designed and, after labeling with digoxigenin-d-UTP, were used as probes in a dot-blot hybridization assay. After preliminary testing, two probes were selected for further study. For probe RD3, a positive reaction was obtained at 38, 42 and 48°C with R. diobovatum in pure culture. Other yeast isolates such as Rhodosporidium toruloides, R. fluviale, R. babjevae, R. sphaerocarpum, R. kratochvilovae, R. azoricum, Pichia anomala, and some common greenhouse pathogens tested gave a negative result. The other probe (RD1) reacted with two species, R. diobovatum and R. babjevae at 42°C. The present dot-blot assay can be used reliably to identify the biocontrol agent, Rhodosporidium diobovatum, from pure culture and plant tissue.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
