摘要

Release of cell wall degrading enzymes, CWDE, (glucanases, chitinases, xylanases, endocellulases, exocellulases, pectinases and polygalacturonases) was compared for three Fusarium culmorum isolates, two nonpathogenic rhizosphere isolates (a plant growth promoting [PGPF] and a deleterious [DRMO]) and one root pathogen, grown on media supplemented with one of these C sources: glucose, chitin, plant (rye root) and fungal (Fusarium) cell wall. The degree of autolysis determined after 42 d in the medium containing glucose was 15% for PGPF and DRMO and 20% for pathogenic isolate. The organic compounds added to the growth medium differentially affected the activity of the individual enzymes released by the particular isolates. The activities of xylanases and endocellulases released to the plant cell wall-amended medium by the PGPF isolate were significantly lower than the activities of these enzymes released by the DRMO and the pathogenic isolates. The activity of pectinases was repressed by glucose. The activities of acidic hydrolases were greater than those of alkaline hydrolases. Principal component analysis revealed that the activities of the CWDE found in the supernatants of the autolyzing F. culmorum cultures could be clustered into two distinct groups. One group included pectinase, exocellulase and polygalacturonase and all the remaining tested hydrolases in the other, suggesting that enzymes from either group might act in synergy during cell wall degradation. The differences in the activities of the individual CWDE released to the culture by the particular isolates are considered to be one of the key factors responsible for the observed types of plant-fungal interactions.
