physiological function | strain C61 displays antifungal activities in vitro. Purified chitinase inhibits spore germination of multiple pathogens. Culture filtrates of the wild-type Chromobacterium sp. C61 and the mutant C61Chi54TS, that has a higer activity than the wild-type, both produce significant in planta biocontrol activity against rice blast, tomato leaf blight and wheat leaf rust. The enzyme expression might be under under quorum sensing control | Chromobacterium sp. |
