Abstract
A comparative study of fungistatic and elicitor activity of chitosan solutions and dispersions of chitosan nanoparticles obtained by fractional precipitation at pH 5.0 (NC-5) and pH 7.0 (NC-7) from chitosan with a molecular weight of 60 kDa was carried out. Both dispersions demonstrated higher fungistatic activity against Bipolaris sorokiniana compared to chitosan solution. A tendency towards a greater effect of inhibition of B. sorokiniana mycelium growth was revealed for NC-5 dispersion compared to NC-7 dispersion. It was found that pretreatment of wheat plants with NC-5 and NC-7 dispersions reduced leaf infestation with dark brown spot by three and two times, respectively, compared to the control. Chitosan solution under the same conditions suppressed disease development by only 10%. The studied dispersions can be considered as the basis for effective natural antimicrobial drugs with inducing activity.
期刊介绍:
Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes original articles on biochemistry and microbiology that have or may have practical applications. The studies include: enzymes and mechanisms of enzymatic reactions, biosynthesis of low and high molecular physiologically active compounds; the studies of their structure and properties; biogenesis and pathways of their regulation; metabolism of producers of biologically active compounds, biocatalysis in organic synthesis, applied genetics of microorganisms, applied enzymology; protein and metabolic engineering, biochemical bases of phytoimmunity, applied aspects of biochemical and immunochemical analysis; biodegradation of xenobiotics; biosensors; biomedical research (without clinical studies). Along with experimental works, the journal publishes descriptions of novel research techniques and reviews on selected topics.
