Twenty threestrains of selected entomopathogenic fungi were tested for the production ofchitinolytic enzymes and their involvement in the suppression of Colletotrichumfalcatum, red rot pathogen of sugarcane. Among twenty three strains testedfor chitinolytic activity, 9 strains showed a clearing zone on chitin-amendedagar medium. Among these, entomopathogenic fungal strains ARSEF-6646, ARSEF-6647,ARSEF-6648, ARSEF-6650 and ARSEF 2417 Beauveria bassiana strainsproduced clearing zones of a size larger than 10 mm. The antifungal activity ofthese strains increased when chitin was incorporated into the medium. Whenmycelial discs of the pathogen were treated with the secondary fungal mycelia,the results indicated that antagonistic B. bassiana caused a higherlevel of lysis of the pathogen mycelium, and the inhibitory effect was morepronounced when the lytic enzymes were produced using chitin as carbon source.
