Abstract

Chitinase (EC 3.2.1.14) is an enzyme with multiple industrial applications. These include bioconversion of chitin waste, a highly resistant and abundant biopolymer from crustacean food industry, into glucosamine and chito-oligosaccharide value-added products. This paper reports on the expression of endochitinase (ChiA) from Bacillus licheniformis strain DSM8785 in E. coli and characterization of the recombinant enzyme. Recombinant ChiA could efficiently convert colloidal chitin to N-acetyl glucosamine and chitobiose at pH 4.0, 6.0 and 9.0 at 50 degrees C and retained its activity up to 3days under these conditions, suggesting that this enzyme is suitable for bioconversion of chitin waste.

Cardiac Glycosides

Cardiac glycosides are a diverse family of naturally derived compounds that bind to and inhibit na+/k+-atpase. Discover the latest research on cardiac glycosides heres.

Aspergillosis

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
