In nature, distinct number of renewable biopolymers are available which exist as chief
starting material for various bioprocesses; chitin being one of them that is degraded by the …

Fungi are an important component of the soil microbiota and fundamental for soil ecosystem
functioning especially in forest and agricultural soils. Considering the broad spectrum roles …

Talaromyces funiculosus strain CBS 129594 was optimized to promote chitinase activity
under solid state fermentation using crustacean bio-wastes. The aim of the study was to use …

Abstract Chitinase (EC 3.2. 1.14) was produced from the culture filtrate of marine-derived
Aspergillus terreus and purified by 65% ammonium sulphate precipitation, followed by gel …

Trichoderma is the most commonly used fungal biocontrol agent throughout the world. In the
present study, various Trichoderma isolates were isolated from different vegetable fields. In …

Microalgae and cyanobacteria are rich sources of numerous phytochemical compounds with
intrinsic antifungal potential. This research aimed to screen the phytochemical compounds …

Chitinases are the enzymes which are capable of hydrolyzing chitin to its monomer N-acetyl
glucosamine (GlcNac). Present study emphasizes on the impact of critical process variables …

Background: The chitinase enzyme has received increased attention due to its wide range of
biotechnological applications, especially in agriculture for the biocontrol of fungi. In this …

Marine waste is one of the most environmental problems. Chitinase is essential in
decomposition of chitin, resulting in the utilization of chitin as a renewable resource. Marine …

The filamentous fungus Aspergillus niveus produced extracellular antifungal chitinase when
cultured under submerged fermentation (SbmF) using crab shells as the carbon source …
