A total of 53 Wickerhamomyces anomalus strains were examined for antagonistic activity, including the nomenclature types of the species with the names presently considered synonymous. Over 70% of the strains exhibited antibiotic activity. According to the action spectra of intraspecific activity, the strains fell into three groups, while according to their activity against other Wickerhamomyces species and phylogenetically related Candida species they formed five subgroups. Antibiotic agents (mostly mycocins) varied in their physicochemical properties.
