Isolation of bacteria producing chitinase and inhibiting growth of Rhizoctonia solani

摘要

@@ Five bacteria strains with higher chitinase activity were isolated by using a technique of enriched cell wall of R. solani. All of them showed inhibiting effect on the growth of R. solani. Being cultured 3 d, strain CH-1 showed higher chitinase activity on the chitin plate. The diameter of the transparent circle reached 8.7 mm (4 replications) . In the antagonistic test to R. solani in PDA plate, the circle was 18.1 mm. It was also observed that the antagonistic ability of some strains was not consistent with the chitinase activity (Table 1). It may be connected with the secretion of chitinase at different culture situations.
