Degradation of oxalic acid (OA) producingSclerotium rolfsii(Sacc.) by organic biocides

The aim of the study for the importance of oxalic acid produced by Sclerotium rolfsii during the invasion of host tissue during pathogenesis acts synergistically with endopolygalacturonase, lowering the pH of the infected tissues to a level optimal for the activity of this enzyme. Oxalic acid was the principal toxic agent produced in the culture filtrates of S. rolfsii and it was responsible for the death of host cells. The calcium present in...
