The aim of the present study was to investigate the pectolytic activity of fungi belonging to the genera Fusarium and Trichoderma isolated from soils of Azerbaijan.27 mold strains were isolated as pure cultures from the Talish agroclimatic region of Azerbaijan. 15 of the 27 studied strains belonged to 5 species of the genus Fusarium (F. lactis, F. moniliforme, F. oxysporum and F. sublunatum) whereas 12 strains belonged to 4 species of the genus Trichoderma (T. lignorum, T. macrosporum, T, roseum and T.viride). It was determined that all studied strains exhibited pectolytic activity.The pectin lysis zone ranged from 22 to 38 mm in Trichoderma strains, and from 5 to 8 mm in Fusarium strains. Thus, the pectolytic activity of the former was 1.2 to 7.6 times higher than that of the latter.Trichoderma lignorium BDU-C55, T. viride BDU-C49 and BDU-LK42 strains had the maximum pectolytic activity.
