Study on Cellulase Production by Biocontrol Bacillus sp.
In modern intensive agricultural production activities,there are so many problems arised just like environmental pollution or production of drug-resistant strains and many other issues.Green and pollution-free probiotics which have efficient antagonism can practicably replace antibiotics.Bacillus sp.can degrade the fungal cell wall by producing hydrolytic enzymes in order to make the pathogenic mycelium physiologically abnormal and reduce its infectivity and virulence.As the dominant genus of biocontrol bacteria,Bacillus sp.can secrete a variety of cell wall-degrading enzymes.With broad-spectrum antibacterial efficacy and high biosafety without causing environmental pollution,Bacillus sp.can be widely used in agricultural production research as an preferred and effective biological control genus.This article provides a detailed introduction to the composition,function and source of cellulase,and reviews the research and application status of cellulase produced by Bacillus sp.which can be used in biological control.
