Functional expression in Beauveria bassiana of a chitinase gene from Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, an ant-pathogenic fungus

2011-01-01

Abstract excerpt

A gene encoding chitinase was cloned from Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, a Formamidae-specific fungus, collected from Sirindhorn Peat Swamp Forest, Thailand. The O. unilateralis chitinase (OuChi) full-length gene (1311 bp) encodes 436 amino acids with the first 20 amino acids as a putative signal peptide. The gene showed highest identity (78%) to Isaria farinose endochitinase. To investigate if cross-species chitina...
