Isolation and characterisation of two chitinase and one novel glucanase genes for engineering plant defence against fungal pathogens [PDF]

, 2006
Hydrolytic enzymes such as chitinases and glucanases are implicated in plant defense responses against fungal pathogens. These enzymes are responsible for the breakdown of chitin and glucan, two major components of the fungal cell walls.

Disclosing the production of fungal chitinases and proteases using insect by‐products as substrates in solid‐state fermentation

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The world population is projected to reach nearly 9.7 billion by 2050, significantly increasing the demand for novel and sustainable protein sources. Edible insects, such as Tenebrio molitor, emerge as promising alternatives due to their high nutritional value, but adult insects and frass are direct and abundant by‐products of this ...

A Broad-Specificity Chitinase from Penicillium oxalicum k10 Exhibits Antifungal Activity and Biodegradation Properties of Chitin

Marine Drugs, 2021
Penicillium oxalicum k10 isolated from soil revealed the hydrolyzing ability of shrimp chitin and antifungal activity against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The k10 chitinase was produced from a powder chitin-containing medium and purified by ammonium sulfate

Purification of chitinase/chitosanase from Bacillus cereus and discovery of an enzyme inhibitor

, 2013
A chitinase and a chitosanase were induced from a squid pen powder (SPP)-containing medium of Bacillus cereus TKU030 and purified by precipitation with ammonium sulphate and combined column chromatography. The purified chitinase and chitosanase exhibited

Beyond a dual role: how Purpureocillium lilacinum reprograms citrus metabolism for integrated biocontrol and growth promotion

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plants harbor complex microbial communities that are fundamental to their health and productivity. Among them, endophytic fungi such as Purpureocillium lilacinum establish mutualistic associations, offering dual benefits as plant growth promoters and biocontrol agents.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analyses of the Chitinase Gene Family in Response to White Mold and Drought Stress in Soybean (Glycine max)

Life, 2022
Chitinases are enzymes catalyzing the hydrolysis of chitin that are present on the cell wall of fungal pathogens. Here, we identified and characterized the chitinase gene family in cultivated soybean (Glycine max L.) across the whole genome.

Extraction‐dependent changes in immunoglobulin E binding profiles of processed lesser mealworm (Alphitobius diaperinus) proteins

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Alphitobius diaperinus, the lesser mealworm, is an edible insect considered safe for human consumption; however, its proteins show documented cross‐reactivity with crustacean and house dust mite (HDM) allergens, raising potential concerns for allergic populations.

Cloning of the Bacillus thuringiensis serovar sotto chitinase (Schi) gene and characterization of its protein

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2005
Chitinase plays a positive role in the pathogenicity of Bacillus thuringiensis to insect pests. We used touchdown PCR to clone the chitinase (Schi) gene from Bacillus thuringiensis serovar sotto (Bt sotto) chromosomal DNA.

Higher NO3−‐N Levels Under Mulberry (Morus alba L.) Planting Enhanced CAZyme Abundance, Increasing Soil Carbon Stability

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Afforestation is widely advocated for boosting carbon (C) sequestration. However, the stability of soil C pools in economically and culturally significant mulberry plantations remains poorly understood. The soil organic C (SOC) contents in different aggregates and the oxidizable OC fractions were measured.

Statistical optimisation of medium components for chitinase production by Paenibacillus sabina strain JD2

, 2007
Paenibacillus sabina strain JD2, a chitinolytic marine bacterium, was isolated from sea dumps collected at Sultanpur near Bhavnagar, India and its nutritional requirement for chitinase production was defined using statistical optimisation method.
