“…Microbial chitinases have been used in mixing experiments to increase the potency of entomopathogenic microorganisms. Synergistic effects among chitinolytic enzymes and microbial insecticides have been known to occur since the early 1970s (Lysenko, 1976;Morris, 1976). Larvae of the spruce bud worm, Choristoneura fumiferana, died more rapidly when exposed to chitinase-Bt mixtures than when exposed to the enzyme or bacterium alone (Smirnoff et al, 1974).…”

“…At present, some 11 proteases have been described as being produced by several different strains of S. marcescens (e.g. Brenner, 1992), including chitinases (Lysenko, 1976). Poinar et al (1979) found that S. marcescens was capable of entering the hemocoel in tsetse flies, which died soon after from fatal septicemia.…”

“…Similarly nematode chitinase (Fuhrman et al, 1992) that break down the protective sheath of the mosquito host, insect venoms that contain chitinase (Krishnan et al,1994), and bacterial chitinases have also been used. While bacterial chitinases, mixed with Bacillus thuringenesis enhanced the activity of microbial insecticides (Smirnoff 1974, Lysenko 1976, Sneh et al, 1983. Regev et al, (1996) reported enhanced toxicity towards Spodoptera littoralis after administration of low levels of truncated recombinant Bt toxin and a bacterial endochitinase at a concentration of 10µg/ml.…”
