Abstract

AbstractThe effect of bleached chitin, 66% and 91% deacetylated chitosan, respectively, as well as some aminosugars on in vitro radial growth of several phytopathogenic oomycetes and deuteromycets was studied In contrast to chitin, chitosan was inhibitory to the fungi The antifungal activity depended on the degree of deacetylation, the particle diameter of the polymer, the growth medium and the pH. Likewise, deacetylation of the monomers different media varied, indicating a possible counteraction by the carbohydrate sources.
