When T. harzianum IMI298372 was grown on cell walls of R. solani as carbon source, electrophoresis showed that a much more complex mixture of extracellular proteins was formed when the antagonist was grown on glucose (28). While both 1,3-/ -D glucanase and chitinase were induced, irrespective of whether glucose or cell walls were used as the carbon substrate, the total activity and specific activity depended on the substrate (Table II).

In addition to the PRPs outlined above, plants elaborate a variety of other defensive proteins (of which some are constitutive and others also induced by wounding) including protein inhibitors of ct-amylase, chitinase, polygalacturonase and of other glycosidases (Chapter 13) ...
