Chitinases fungal sources

For decades, fungi have been a valuable and preferred source of enzymes and secondary metabolites because of their ease of isolation, readily manipulative cultivation conditions, greater biomass production, and downstream processing. Fungal chitinases, in particular, strains of Trichoderma have been studied extensively to identify, isolate, clone and express a number of genes responsible for a variety of chitinases production especially in the development of transgenic plant varieties. Other than the biocontrol activities...
