Chitinases are a group of enzymes that catalyze chitin hydrolysis and are present in all
domains of life. Chitinases belong to different glycosyl hydrolase families with great diversity …

After cellulose, chitin is the second most abundant organic and renewable polysaccharide in
nature. This polymer is degraded by the enzymes called chitinases, which are a part of the …

Chitinases are a group of hydrolytic enzymes that catalyze chitin, nd are synthesized by a
wide variety of organisms. In nature, microbial chitinases are primarily responsible for chitin …

Chitin is among the most abundant biomass present on Earth. Chitinase plays an important
role in the decomposition of chitin and potentially in the utilization of chitin as a renewable …

Chitin, the second most abundant biopolymer on earth after cellulose, is composed of β-1, 4-
N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) units. It is widely distributed in nature, especially as a …

Microorganisms synthesize an array of glycosyl hydrolytic enzymes quantitatively and
chitinase is one among them. In general, the persistence of chitinase form microbial source …

Chitinolytic bacteria play an important role in degradation of chitin, one of the most abundant
biopolymers in nature. These microorganisms synthesize specific enzymes, that catalyze …

Chitinases are a category of hydrolytic enzymes that catalyze chitin and are formed by a
wide variety of microorganisms. In nature, microbial chitinases are primarily responsible for …

Chitin is the second most plenteous polysaccharide in nature after cellulose, present in cell
walls of several fungi, exoskeletons of insects, and crustacean shells. Chitin does not …

Chitinases are multifunctional biocatalysts for the pest control and useful in modern
biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Chemical-based fungicides and insecticides …
