Chitinase production was carried out using the best isolate. chitinase was produced after 48 hours on wards but the optimum production was after 96 hours. After 96 hours the chitinase production was constant but after 120 hours it was decreased. The production of chitinase is shown by the zone of hydrolysis at different incubation period of the fermentation at 37oC
as shown in the table 1 below.
