Optimization of media components for laccase production by litter dwelling fungal isolate Fusarium incarnatum LD-3.

TL;DR: Using this statistical optimization method the laccase production was found to increase from 40 U/g to 650 U/G of wheat straw, which was sixteen times higher than non optimized medium, which is the first report on statistical optimization of lAccase production from Fusarium incarnatum LD‐3.

The chitinase of Serratia marcescens.

TL;DR: Serratia marcescens was found to be the most active organism of 100 tested for the production of chitinase and Enterobacter liquefaciens produced nearly as much enzyme.

Degradation of plant pathogenic fungi by Trichoderma harzianum. Can J Microbiol

TL;DR: Isolates of T. harzianum were found to differ in the levels of hydrolytic enzymes produced when mycelium of S. rolfsii, Rhizoctonia solani, and Pythium aphanidermatum in soil was attacked, correlated with the ability of each of the Trichoderma isolates to control the respective soilborne pathogens.

Degradation of plant pathogenic fungi by trichoderma harzianum

TL;DR: Trichoderma harzianum excreted β-1, 3-glucanase and chitinase into the medium when grown on laminarin and Chitin, respectively, or on cell walls of the pathogen Sclerotium rolfsii as discussed by the authors.

Chitinases of fungi and plants: their involvement in morphogenesis and host‐parasite interaction

TL;DR: Chitinase induction in plants is not considered solely as an antifungal resistance mechanism, but there is some circumstantial evidence to suggest a morphogenetic role despite the apparent absence of the substrate in plant cells.
