Effect of chitosan on hyphal growth and spore germination of plant pathogenic and biocontrol fungi

TL;DR: The objective is to investigate the toxic effect of chitosan on important root pathogenic and biocontrol fungi (nematophagous, entomopathogenic and mycoparasitic) and to establish a database of these fungi and their phytochemical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Purification and Characterization of Chitinases from the Nematophagous Fungi Verticillium chlamydosporium and V. suchlasporium

TL;DR: Culture filtrates of the nematophagous fungi Verticillium chlamydosporium and V. suchlasporium growing on colloidal chitin showed increasing chitinolytic activity and production of two main proteins, and a single endochitinase (CHI43) with optimum pH range of 5.2-5.7 was found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane fluidity determines sensitivity of filamentous fungi to chitosan

TL;DR: The findings provide a method to predict the sensitivity of a fungus to chitosan based on its plasma membrane composition, and suggests a new strategy for antifungal therapy, which involves treatments that increase plasma membrane fluidity to make fungi more sensitive to fungicides such as chitOSan.
Journal ArticleDOI

Colonization of plant roots by egg-parasitic and nematode-trapping fungi

TL;DR: The response of root cells to colonization by nematophagous fungi may have profound implications in the performance of these organisms as biocontrol agents of plant parasitic nematodes.
