Trichoderma atroviride parasitizes a large variety of phytopathogenic fungi. This characteristic has allowed its use as a biological control agent. The production of hydrolytic enzymes appears to be a key element in the parasitic process. Among the enzymes released by Trichoderma, the proteinase Prb...
