Influence of the physico-chemical characteristics of chito-oligosaccharides (COS) on antioxidant activity.

Carbohydr. Polym. 97(2) , 776-82, (2013)

Chito-oligosaccharides (COS) are being used as important functional materials for many applications due to their bioactivities. The aim of this research has been to assess the relationship between the physico-chemical characteristics, average molecular weight...

High-level expression and characterization of a highly thermostable chitosanase from Aspergillus fumigatus in Pichia pastoris.

Biotechnol. Lett. 34(4) , 689-94, (2012)

The sequence of an endo-chitosanase gene (CSN) from Aspergillus fumigatus was optimized based on the preferred codons of Pichia pastoris and synthesized in vitro through overlapping PCR (CSN-P). The gene was cloned into a yeast expression vector, pHBM905A, an...

Preparation of D-glucosamine by hydrolysis of chitosan with chitosanase and β-D-glucosaminidase.

Int. J. Biol. Macromol. 61 , 160-3, (2013)

Crude enzymes including chitosanase and β-D-glucosaminidase were obtained by centrifugal separation from the fermentation broth of Microbacterium sp. OU01. Then the crude enzymes are used to hydrolyze chitosan for producing D-glucosamine (GlcN). The effects o...

Classification of chitosanases by hydrolytic specificity toward N¹,N⁴-diacetylchitohexaose.

Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem. 76(10) , 1932-7, (2012)

The hydrolytic specificities of chitosanases were determined using N¹,N⁴-diacetylchitohexaose [(GlcN)₂-GlcNAc-(GlcN)₂-GlcNAc]. The results for the hydrolytic specificities of chitosanases belonging to subclasses I, II, and III toward chitohexaose and N¹,N⁴-di...

Characterization of a chitosanase from Aspergillus fumigatus ATCC13073.

Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem. 76(8) , 1523-8, (2012)

Chitosanase II was purified from the culture filtrate of Aspergillus fumigatus ATCC13073. The purified enzyme had a molecular mass of 23.5 kDa. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of chitosanase II was identical to those of other Aspergillus chitosanases belon...

Cloning and characterization of a gene coding for a major extracellular chitosanase from the koji mold Aspergillus oryzae.

Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem. 76(1) , 193-5, (2012)

A gene coding for a major extracellular chitosanase was isolated from Aspergillus oryzae IAM2660. It had a multi-domain structure composed of a signal peptide, a catalytic domain, Thr- and Pro-rich linkers, and repeated peptides (the R3 domain) from the N-ter...

Modulation of fungicidal potential of Anabaena strains by light and temperature.

Folia Microbiol. (Praha) 57(3) , 199-208, (2012)

The regulation of fungicidal and hydrolytic enzyme activity was investigated in a set of cyanobacterial strains belonging to the genus Anabaena (Anabaena laxa RPAN8, Anabaena iyengarii RPAN9, Anabaena variabilis RPAN59 and Anabaena oscillarioides RPAN69), wit...

Chitinolytic and chitosanolytic activities from crude cellulase extract produced by A. niger grown on apple pomace through Koji fermentation.

J. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 21(12) , 1312-21, (2011)

Enzyme extracts of cellulase [filter paper cellulase (FPase) and carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase)], chitinase, and chitosanase produced by Aspergillus niger NRRL-567 were evaluated. The interactive effects of initial moisture and different inducers for FP cel...

Characterization of antifungal activity of the GH-46 subclass III chitosanase from Bacillus circulans MH-K1.

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek 104(5) , 737-48, (2013)

We characterized the antifungal activity of the Bacillus circulans subclass III MH-K1 chitosanase (MH-K1 chitosanase), which is one of the most intensively studied glycoside hydrolases (GHs) that belong to GH family 46. MH-K1 chitosanase inhibited the growth ...

Chitinolytic enzymes from bacterium inhabiting human gastrointestinal tract -- critical parameters of protein isolation from anaerobic culture.

Acta Biochim. Pol. 58(2) , 261-3, (2011)

The object of this study are chitinolytic enzymes produced by bacterium Clostridium paraputrificum J4 isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of a healthy human. In particular, we focus on the development of purification protocols, determination of propertie...
