Abstract

Chitin, an insoluble polymer, induces the chitinolytic system of Trichoderma harzianum, which is made up of two N-acetylglucosaminidases and four endochitinases. Only one N-acetylglucosaminidase, CHIT 102, was found to exhibit extracellular basal activity. The initial inducer of the chitinolytic system was found to be the chitin monomer N-acetylglucosamine, which preferentially induces CHIT 102.
