Molecular Identification of Spoilage Fungi Isolated from Fruit and Vegetables and Their Control with Chitosan

摘要: This study investigated fungal spoilage of fruits and vegetables in Saudi Arabia. Activities cell wall degrading enzymes isolates were measured. We evaluated the fungicidal activities chitosan against fungi. Thirty-three species belonged to 21 genera collected during this study. ITS sequencing results showed that Alternaria tenuissima, Fusarium chlamydosporum, Penicillium sumatrens, Rhizopus stolonifera, Trichoderma harzianum most common species. The diversity enzyme produced by fungi revealed xylanase was widely distributed followed amylase cellulase. Some strains Macrophomina phaseolina, harzianum, asperellum, Aspergillus niger consortialis highest among tested Four different concentrations (20, 30, 50, 100 mg/L) 22 All concentr...
