Chitinolytic enzymes: an exploration
Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 2000Chitin 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.

Chitinolytic enzymes produced by ovine rumen bacteria
Folia Microbiologica, 2000Two 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, 2013Chitin, 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, 1993After 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, 1983The 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.
