The importance of chorismate mutase in the biocontrol potential of Trichoderma parareesei [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Species of Trichoderma exert direct biocontrol activity against soil-borne plant pathogens due to their ability to compete for nutrients and to inhibit or kill their targets through the production of antibiotics and/or hydrolytic enzymes.
