Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDiscovery of a New Thermostable Chitinase from Streptomyces No. 6Xiaowen Que, Yonghong Bao, Qing Liu et al.Chitinases are a class of hydrolases that hydrolyze the β-1, 4-glycosidic bonds between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) in chitin. Among chitinases, thermophilic chitinases and thermostable chitinases have received extensive attention in recent years due to their ability to tolerate higher temperatures and maintain enzyme stability for a longer period of time. However, it has previously been observed that not all chitinases are … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 1 Aug 2024 · 5,115 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleChitinolytic Bacteria Isolated from Chili Rhizosphere: Chitinase Characterization and Its Application as Biocontrol for Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Genn.)Nisa Rachmania Mubarik, Irni Mahagiani, Amaryllis Anindyaputri et al.Problem statement: Chitin, a common constituent of insect exoskeleton, could be hydrolyzed by chitinase. The research was conducted to screen chitinolytic rhizobacteria isolated from rhizosphere of chilli pepper and to determine their chitinase activity in degrading chitin of whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Genn. (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). Whitefly is recognized as an important pest on many crops including chilli pepper. Approach: Screening and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 11 Nov 2010 · 18,538 accessesView PDFCite

ArabChitin is a versatile environmentally friendly modern material. It has a wide range of applications in areas such as water treatment, pulp and paper, biomedical devices and therapies, cosmetics, membrane technology and biotechnology and food applications. Crustacean waste is the most important chitin source for commercial use. Demineralization is an important step in the chitin purification process from crustacean waste. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,799 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTransgenic Indian Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) Harboring Rice Chitinase Gene (Chi II) Confers Resistance to Two Fungal PathogensM. Ganesan, P. Bhanumathi, K. Ganesh Kumari et al.Problem statement: The present investigation described a simple and reproducible protocol for transgenic cotton regeneration and characterization of chitinase (Chi II) gene expression against two different fungal pathogens in cotton. Approach: Transgenic cotton (Gossypium hirsutum cv. SVPR2) plants were produced by pCambia-bar-Chi II (13.8 kb) under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter, harbored in the strain LBA 4404 Agrobacterium … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,531 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCuticular Chitin of the Wild Silkworm Saturnia Pyri: A Renewable Source for Applications Across Industrial SectorsZarintaj Shukurova, Yusif Shukurlu, Zarbali Khalilov, Madina SharifovaIn the context of a developing sustainable bioeconomy, the search for renewable sources of biopolymers as alternatives to traditional ones is of crucial importance. In this regard, insect cuticular waste represents a promising yet insufficiently explored raw material for obtaining chitin and chitosan. This study aimed to perform a comparative assessment of the extraction efficiency and quality of chitin and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 7 Aug 2026 · 947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExamination of Chitinolytic Bacteria in Alginate-Chitosan Encapsulation on Chili Seed Against Damping off Caused by Fusarium oxysporumDwi Suryanto, Affan Indarwan, Erman MunirOne alternative in biological control of plant pathogenic fungi is to provide biological agent inoculant in coated seed. This study was to evaluate potential control and viability of two chitinolytic bacteria, Enterobacter sp. BK15 and Bacillus sp. BK17 of alginate-chitosan encapsulation coated on chili seed against damping off caused by Fusarium oxysporum. Chili seed beads were stored at refrigerator and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2012 · 7,913 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Overview of the Antimicrobial Activity of Some Microbial EnzymesAkram N. Salah, Hayam Atallah AlwabsiEnzymes are substances produced by living organisms that are used to catalyze some biological and biochemical reactions as they either catalyze some types of polysaccharides and proteins or lyse complex materials such as polymers and lipids. Microbial enzymes are defined as the enzymes that can be extracted and purified from bacterial strains such as Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Streptomyces, or … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 11 Jun 2024 · 6,081 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTURNING WASTE INTO USABLE PRODUCTS: A CASE STUDY OF EXTRACTING CHITOSAN FROM BLUE CRABCamille Webster, Oghenekome Onokpise, Michael Abazinge et al.The purpose of this project was to develop a practical and cost efficient alternative to the current disposal of seafood waste in the North Florida region. Fortuitously, due to an unusually high turnover rate, this reconceptualization study may have turned seafood waste into a hot commodity. At least that is one conclusion one can draw from these findings. Indeed, over … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 24 Jun 2014 · 7,556 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProbing the Substrate Specificity and Intersubunit Interactions of Brevundimonas Diminuta Glutaryl Acylase with Site-Directed MutagenesisMichael Eldarov, Anna Lyashenko, Tatyana Sherbakova et al.Glutaryl-7-ACA acylases (GLA) are industrial enzymes widely used for the production of 7-aminocepahlosporanic acid (7-ACA)-the starting compound for manufacturing of semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotics.
