Abstract
⺠Pichia guilliermondii strain M8 has high exo-1,3-β-glucanase activity in vitro. ⺠The enzyme greatly inhibits Botrytis cinerea both in vitro and in vivo. ⺠An exo-1,3-β-glucanase gene, PgExg1, has been cloned and characterized. ⺠The recombinant enzyme PgExg1 showed biocontrol activities against the pathogen. ⺠PgExg1 has an optimal pH of 5.0 and an optimal incubation temperature of 40 °C.
