Biochemical studies on variability in protein and esterase profiles between twelve isolates of Botryodiplodia theobromae causing Longitudinal Splitting of Bark and Wood Disease (LBWP) on acid lime reveled that isolates LBWP-1 and LBWP-5 exhibited protein pattern with eight banding loci each, LBWP-4 and LBWP-6 with seven banding loci, LBWP-7, LBWP-8 and LBWP-9 with five banding loci and the isolates LBWP-3, LBWP-10, LBWP-11 and LBWP-12 with four banding loci, LBWP-2 exhibited protein pattern with six banding loci. LBWP-1 isolate found to be unique in having one band with Rm value of 0.83 which was absent in other isolates. Considerable difference among the isolates in banding loci of proteins and considerable variation among the isolates in banding loci of esterase enzyme were noticed. LBWP-5 found to be unique in having two bands with Rm values of 0.18 and 0.32 which were absent in other isolates. Apart from this all the isolates under the study showed significant quantitative differences in the banding profiles for mycelial esterase.
