Abstrakt: Presents a study that entrapped the chitinase gene-transformed strain KPM-007E/chi OF Enterobacter cloacae in sodium alginate gel beads with its specific virulent bacteriophage EcP-01 to provide a method for microbially digesting chitinous peritrophic membranes of phytophagous ladybird beetles Epilachna vigintiotopunctata. Estimation of chitinase activity; Overproduction of chitinase SH1 from a gram-positive bacterium Kurthia zopfii; Materials and methods used; Results of the study.
