Protease of phytopathogenic fungi of the genus Fusarium and part of protein protease inhibitors in regulating their activity

Abstract

This research is devoted to examining of Fusarium (wide spread pathogen's) proteases. As far as pathogen's proteases are supposed to be one of infection agent they are released into surrounding medium and their synthesis is induced by different factors which were established. Spectrum of alkalic and neutral proteases activities are studied as well as inhibitory activity toward trypsin both in culture medium and mycelium. It was shown that inhibitors derived from mycelium and plant inhibitors effectively suppressed pathogen's protease activity. Research results contribute to disclosure of mechanism.
