Abstract
An assessment of the antifungal and immunomodulatory activity of dispersions of chitosan nanoparticles obtained by fractional precipitation at pH 5.0 and pH 7.5 using chitosan of different molecular weights was made. The dispersion of nanoparticles obtained at pH 5 has increased fungistatic activity against C. sativus and A. solani, due to the higher availability of amino groups in looser nanoparticles. This dispersion showed immunostimulating activity, increasing the resistance of wheat to dark brown spot. It was also established that the elicitor activity of dispersions of chitosan nanoparticles is significantly higher than the activity of solutions of the original polymer.
期刊介绍:
Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes original articles on biochemistry and microbiology that have or may have practical applications. The studies include: enzymes and mechanisms of enzymatic reactions, biosynthesis of low and high molecular physiologically active compounds; the studies of their structure and properties; biogenesis and pathways of their regulation; metabolism of producers of biologically active compounds, biocatalysis in organic synthesis, applied genetics of microorganisms, applied enzymology; protein and metabolic engineering, biochemical bases of phytoimmunity, applied aspects of biochemical and immunochemical analysis; biodegradation of xenobiotics; biosensors; biomedical research (without clinical studies). Along with experimental works, the journal publishes descriptions of novel research techniques and reviews on selected topics.
