Extracellular secretion of chitinase, lipase, and protease was demonstrated in eleven species and strains of entomophagous fungi of the group Deuteromycetes (Moniliales). The enzymatic activity of the strains was compared with their virulence against larvae of Galleria mellonella. A correlation between enzyme production and pathogenicity was observed.
