Chitinolytic Enterobacter agglomerans Antagonistic to Fungal Plant Pathogens.
TL;DR: This study provides the most complete evidence for the presence of a complex of chitinolytic enzymes in Enterobacter strains and decreases the incidence of disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani in cotton by 64 to 86%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitinolytic Activity in Chromobacterium violaceum: Substrate Analysis and Regulation by Quorum Sensing

TL;DR: This study shows that C. violaceum produces a set of chitinolytic enzymes whose production is regulated by HHL, and finds that a pleiotropic mini-Tn5 mutant of C. Violaceum that is defective in HHL production and other quorum-sensing-regulated factors was found to be completely deficient in chitinase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of ACC deaminase from the biocontrol and plant growth-promoting agent Trichoderma asperellum T203.
TL;DR: A role for ACCD in the plant root growth-promotion effect by T. asperellum is suggested as well as decreased ability of the mutants to promote root elongation of canola seedlings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Significance of lytic enzymes from Trichoderma spp. in the biocontrol of fungal plant pathogens
TL;DR: An overview is presented of the data currently available on lytic enzymes from the mycoparasitic fungus Trichoderma and effort is being aimed at improving biocontrol agents and plants by introducing Trichodma genes via genetic manipulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil-borne strain IC14 of Serratia plymuthica with multiple mechanisms of antifungal activity provides biocontrol of Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum diseases
TL;DR: Plant-associated strain IC14 of the Gram-negative bacterium Serratia plymuthica isolated from soil around melon roots was shown to suppress a wide range of phytopathogenic fungi in vitro, suggesting that chitinolytic activity is less essential for biocontrol of these pathogens by strainIC14.
