Abstract: 
The antibacterial activity of squid pen chitosans (deacetylation degree (DD) of 91%) with Mw varying from 93-1740 kDa was tested on Erwinia carotovora that causes soft rot disease in tomatoes. Specifically the inhibition level of chitosan to bacterial colonies development (in vitro) and disease lesion on tomato fruits (in vivo) was evaluated. Sigma's chitosan (Mw of 50-90 kDa with DD of 80%) was used as positive control. In vitro results showed that the antibacterial action of chitosan depended greatly on the Mw of chitosan. The chitosan with a low Mw exhibited a higher inhibition activity on Erwinia carotovora than higher molecular weight commercial chitosan. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the chitosan with a Mw of 93 kDa was 1.25%(w/v). High Mw chitosan (Mw > 1000 kDa) did not show any inhibition activity in vitro.
