Abstract
Chitinase producing bacteria, Arthrobacter nicotianae CH4 and A. nicotianae CH13, were isolated from small crabs by an enrichment culture using chitin as the sole carbon source. Crude chitinases from the two isolated strains, A. nicotianae CH4 and A. nicotianae CH13, were stable in the pH range of $3.0{\sim}9.0$ and in the temperature range of $20{\sim}60^{\circ}C$. The reducing sugar $(GlcNAc)_1$, or $(GlcNAc)_4$, corresponding to over 98% of the enzyme reaction products, was obtained. The production of functional $(GlcNAc)_1$ and $(GlcNAc)_4$ from A. nicotianae CH13 and A. nicotianae CH4, respectively, from the chitinases was useful. The chitinase system of A. nicotianae CH13 was supposed to be endo- and exo-chitinase, and N-acetylglucosaminidase.
