- Observation All isolates produced high hydrolase, lyase and pectinesterase in cocoyam tissue medium.
- Observation Overall lyase and pectinesterase activities did not differ significantly across isolates in either medium.
- Observation A niger, B theobromae and C rolfsii each produced higher hydrolase, lyase and pectinesterase activities than other isolates.
- Observation C rolfsii produced the highest hydrolase activity in cocoyam medium.
- Observation A niger produced the highest lyase activity in pectin medium.
- Observation B theobromae and C rolfsii yielded maximum pectinesterase activity in pectin medium.
- Observation All test isolates produced cellulase in carboxymethyl cellulose medium, with C rolfsii highest, followed by F oxysporum and A niger.
