This paper provides a review of the latest research findings on the applications of microbial chitinases to biological control. Microorganisms producing these enzymes can inhibit the growth of many fungal diseases that pose a serious threat to global crop production. Currently, efforts are being made to discover producers of chitinolytic enzymes. The potential exists that natural biofungicides will replace chemical fungicides or will be used to supplement currently used fungicides, which would reduce the negative impact of chemicals on the environment and support the sustainable development of agriculture and forestry.
本文综述了微生物几丁质酶在生物防治中应用的最新研究成果。产生这些酶的微生物可以抑制许多对全球作物生产构成严重威胁的真菌病害的生长。目前，正在努力发现几丁质酶的生产者。天然生物杀菌剂有可能替代化学杀菌剂，或用于补充目前使用的杀菌剂，这将减少化学物质对环境的负面影响，支持农业和林业的可持续发展。
