Abstract excerpt
Microbes have many mechanisms to exert their inhibitory activity against target pests. One such mechanism involves the production and secretion of hydrolytic enzymes, such as chitinases, which are produced naturally by plants in response to attack by insect herbivores and phytopathogens and have been sought as an additional factor to enhance pest management. Thus, our main aim was to screen the diverse actinomycet...
