Abstract:Background of the study: As fungi become resistant to commonly used pesticides, fungicides are becoming not only more expensive, but also less effective in controlling postharvest infections. New chitinase immobilisation techniques are urgently needed to minimize enzyme costs while enhancing bio catalytic performance, antifungal activity, enzyme stability, and reusability. Objectives: The objective of this study was to immobilise chitinase of Kurthia gibsonii Mb126 by entrapping it in calcium alginate beads an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
