Cloning and expression of the pkg1 gene from the GH55 family of the mycoparasite Pestalotiopsis kenyana PG52
The β-1,3-glucanase gene from <i>P. kenyana</i> was successfully cloned and showed activity against aeciospores, which highlights its probable role in the mycoparasitic activity of <i>P. kenyana</i>, suggesting a new source of enzymes for biological control strategies that target fungal cell walls.
