Abstract excerpt
Trichoderma harzianum is a well-known biological control agent against fungal plant diseases. In order to select improved biocontrol strains from Trichoderma harzianum CECT 2413, a mutant has been isolated for its ability to produce wider haloes than the wild type, when hydrolysing pustulan, a polymer of beta-1,6-glucan. The mutant possesses between two and four times more chitinase, beta-1,3- and...
