Abstract

ABSTRACT: Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis was used to produce chitinase on shrimp wastes by fermentation at 30°C and 250 rpm for 120 h. The enzyme was concentrated by ultrafiltration and was adjusted to pH 5.8. Antifungal chitinase activity on phytopathogenic fungi was investigated in growing...
