Crinipellis perniciosa is the cause of witches' broom disease of cocoa, a serious problem in South America. The aim of the project was to develop a measure of fungal biomass in cocoa tissue infected with C. perniciosa using chitin as a marker. Axenic cultures of primary and secondary mycelium of C. perniciosa were exposed to strong hydrochloric acid to hydrolyse the chitin.
