The present study demonstrated that the chitinase gene ChiKJ406136 of Streptomyces sampsonii (Millard &: Burr) Waksman KJ40 could be cloned using a PCR protocol and expressed in Escherichia coli (Migula) Castellani &: Chalmers BL21 (DE3), and the recombinant protein had antifungal effect on four forest pathogens (Cylindrocladium scoparium Morgan, Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr, Neofusicoccum parvum Crous, and Fusarium oxysporum Schl.) and also had the biological control effects on Eucalyptus robusta Smith leaf blight, Castanea mollissima BL. blight, Juglans regia L. blight and J. regia root rot. The results showed that ChiKJ406136 was efficiently expressed and a 48 kilodalton (kDa) recombinant protein was obtained. No significant change in protein production was observed in the presence of different concentrations of IPTG (isopropyl-b-D-thio-galactoside). The purified protein yield was greatest in the 150 mmol/L imidazole elution fraction, and the chitinase activities of the crude protein and purified protein solutions were 0.045 and 0.033 U/mL, respectively. The antifungal effects indicated that mycelial cells of the four fungi were disrupted, and the control effects of the chitinase on four forest diseases showed significant differences among the undiluted 10- and 20-fold dilutions and the control. The undiluted solution exhibited best effect. The results of this study provide a foundation for the use of S. sampsonii as a biocontrol agent and provides a new source for the chitinase gene, providing a theoretical basis for its application.
