Antifungal activity of Serratia marcescens CFFSUR-B2 purified chitinolytic enzymes and prodigiosin against Mycosphaerella fijiensis, causal agent of black Sigatoka in banana (Musa spp.)

The ascomycete fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis causes black Sigatoka disease of banana. Because Serratia marcescens strain CFFSUR-B2 is an effective agent for the biological control of M. fijiensis, it was important to determine the mechanisms by which this bacterium stops or inhibits infection by t...
