Abstract
Many filamentous fungi produce an array of extracellular enzymes that acting in cell walls release elicitors of the plant defense response These enzymes may therefore be important in biocontrol applications. The aim of this study was to characterize extracellular degradative enzymes produced by a non-pathogenic binucleate isolate of Rhizoctonia AG-G. The fungus was grown in liquid culture supplemented with pectin, polygalacturonic acid or glucose as a carbon sources and filtrates of the culture media were analyzed for the detection of pectinolytic and glucan hydrolytic enzymes. Using only pectin as a carbon source, secretion of polygalacturonases and methylesterases was found. When the liquid medium was supplemented with polygalacturonic acid, only polygalacturonase activity was detected. However, when glucose was used as carbon source β-1,3 and β-1,6 glucanases activities were detected, using laminarin and pustulan as substrates, but none of the pectinolytic activities were found. These enzymes were partially purified and characterized. The β-(1,3)(1,6) glucanase and polygalacturonase enzymes showed to be active against cell wall polysaccharides from potato sprouts. These enzymes may have an important role in fungus-plant cell wall interaction. This is the first study about the production of extracellular enzymes by non-pathogenic binucleate Rhizoctonia AG-G.
