It was supposed that polycationic structure of chitosan in acidic media could interact with anionic components (i.e., proteins, phospholipids) of cell surface, thereby interfering their normal growth and metabolism (Fang, Li & Dyc, 1994; Shahidi, Arachchi & Jeon, 1999; Roller & Covill, 1999; Bautista-Baños et al, 2006). Another possible mechanism is that chitosan chains may cross the cell membrane, interact with DNA, alter its conformation, leading to inhibition of the synthesis of mRNA and proteins (Sajomsang, Gonil, Saesoo & Ovatlarnporn, 2012; Tan, Rui, Lin, Liu & Tang, 2013).It is possible that the water-soluble SCS is able to penetrate cell walls and membranes interfering directly with the activity of enzymes responsible for growth of the fungi. Abnormal shapes and swelling mycelia of pyridine chitosan-treated B. cinerea observed from SEM (Jia, Duan, Fang, Wang & Huang, 2016) were similar with the WCS-treated A. sacchari, but significantly different from the SCS-treated A. sacchari. 4.
