Chitinolytic enzymes: an exploration

Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 2000
Chitin and chitinolytic enzymes are gaining importance for their biotechnological applications. Particularly, chitinases are used in agriculture to control plant pathogens. Chitinases and chitooligomers produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of chitin can also be used in human health care.

Biotechnological aspects of chitinolytic enzymes: a review

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2006
Chitin and chitinases (EC 3.2.1.14) have an immense potential. Chitinolytic enzymes have wide-ranging applications such as preparation of pharmaceutically important chitooligosaccharides and N-acetyl D-glucosamine, preparation of single-cell protein, isolation of protoplasts from fungi and yeast, control of pathogenic fungi, treatment of chitinous ...

Chitinolytic enzymes produced by ovine rumen bacteria

Folia Microbiologica, 2000
Two strains of clostridia, isolated from the rumen fluid of sheep as potential antagonists toward anaerobic fungi showed a complete array of chitinolytic enzymes. Enzyme tests in cultures demonstrated endochitinase, exochitinase, N-acetyl-glucosaminidase, chitosanase and chitin deacetylase activities mainly in the extracellular fractions.

Chitinolytic enzymes: An appraisal as a product of commercial potential

Biotechnology Progress, 2013
Chitin, its deacetylated form, chitosan and chitinolytic enzymes viz. endo‐chitinase, N‐acetylglucosaminidase, chitosanase, chitin deacetylase (CDA) are gaining importance for their biotechnological applications. Presently, chitin degrading enzymes constitute high‐cost low‐volume products in human health care and associated research.

Chitinolytic enzymes: their contribution to basic and applied research

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1993
After cellulose, chitin is the second most abundant renewable resource available in nature. Marine invertebrates and fungal biomass are the two main sources of chitinous waste, which is commercially exploited. The enzymes involved in chitin degradation have been particularly well studied.

Hydrolysis of glycol chitin by chitinolytic enzymes

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1983
The hydrolysis of glycol chitin preparations by several fl-N-acetylglucosaminidases was monitored colorimetrically with the potassium ferriferrocyanide reagent. 2. Glycol chitin samples from crab and insect sources varied considerably in chemical composition and susceptibility to enzymatic hydrolysis. 3.
