Promising antifungal activity of two varieties of Capsicum chinense against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Rhizopus stolonifer and Colletotrichum goleosporoides

Sandriny Evillin Machado Toigo et al.

Summary: This study investigates the antifungal activity of hexane extracts from Capsicum chinense fruit against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Rhizopus stolonifer, and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The extracts showed strong inhibitory effects on the growth of the fungi, indicating the potential of medicinal plants as alternative sources of non-toxic and cost-effective fungicides.

Chitin Deacetylase as a Biocatalyst for the Selective N-Acylation of Chitosan Oligo- and Polymers

Max Linhorst et al.

Summary: Chitosans, derived from chitin, are versatile biopolymers with unique properties that can be further improved through biocatalytic N-acylation. Using recombinant chitin deacetylase for N-acylation can yield highly substituted chitosan polymers, which can be further functionalized using copper-catalyzed reactions. This chemoenzymatic approach offers a pathway to a wide variety of functionalized chitosans with nonrandom substitution patterns.

Sodium silicate and chitosan: an alternative for the in vitro control of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides isolated from papaya (Carica papaya L.)

E. Rayon-Diaz et al.

Summary: The study found that chitosan at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 1.5% showed the best efficacy against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, reducing fungal development by 97-99%. Sodium silicate alone only had a 9% inhibition rate, but combined treatments had an additive effect, inhibiting mycelial development by 51-99%.
