An Antifungal Exo-α-1,3-Glucanase (AGN13.1) from the Biocontrol Fungus Trichoderma harzianum
No full textTrichoderma harzianum secretes α-1,3-glucanases when it is grown on polysaccharides, fungal cell walls, or autoclaved mycelium as a carbon source (simulated antagonistic conditions). We have purified and characterized one of these enzymes, named AGN13.1. The enzyme was monomeric and slightly basic. AGN13.1 was an exo-type α-1,3-glucanase and showed lytic and antifungal activity against fungal plant pathogens. Northern and Western analyses indicated that AGN13.1 is induced by conditions that simulated antagonism. We propose that AGN13.1 contributes to the antagonistic response of T. harzianum
