근해 연안 토양으로부터 Chitinase 활성이 우수한 균주를 분리하여 Aeromonas salmonicida로 동정하였으며, 분리균주의 효소생산 최적조건은 colloidal chitin 1.26, tryptone 2.95, $MgSO_4-7H_20$0.15, $K_2HP0_4$, 0.15, pH8.5, 27'C에서 48시간 진탕배양하였을 때였다. 효소의 정제는 배양액으로부터 ammonium sulfate 침전, affinity adsorption, hydroxylapatite chromatography, gel filtration을 통해 수율 29.7, 정제도 18.5배의 정제효소를 얻었다. 정제된 chitinase의 최적온도와 pH는 $50^{\circ}C$와 7.0이었고 pH 안정성은 pH5.0-9.0 사이였고 $50^{\circ}C$까지 안정하였으며 Km값은 1.276mg/ml, 분자량은 200,000 daltons으로 확인되었다.

전남 법성포 해안의 갯벌 시료로부터 chitinase 생 생 균주를 분리하였으며, 분리된 균주 중에서 chiti­n nase 생성능이 우수한 JM을 선발 동정하여 Serranasetia sp. JM으로 명명하였다. Serratia sp. JM은 nu­trient 배지냐 MacConkey 배지에서 prodigiosin 색소를 생성하며, 정제 chitin이 포함된 한천 배지에서 는 chitinase 생성에 따른 clear zone 형성이 확인되 었다 Serratia sp. JM은 형태적, 생리.생화학적 특 성과 유기물 동화는 SUCCIniC, urea 및 pyruvic 산 을 제외하고는 공시 균주인 Serratia marcescens ATCC 27117과 유사하였으며, tetracyclin에 대해 서는 항생제에 대한 내성을 가지고 있었으나, kanamycin과 chloramphenicol에 대해서는 내성을 가지지 않았다. Serratia sp. JM의 chitinase 생성에 따른 최적온도와 pH는 $30^{\circ}C$ 와 7.5로 냐타났다. Serratia sp. JM은 120시간까지는 배양 시간이 증가 함에 따라 chiti-nase 생성과 pH는 점차 증가하였으 나, 배양 120시간 이후에는 chitin 분해에 따른 acetic acid의 축적에 따라 chitinase 생성과 pH는 감소 하였다.

A chitinolytic enzyme-producing bacterium was isolated from sea water on the coast of Busan. The bacterium was identified as Aeromonas sp. based on its morphological, cultural and biochemical characteristics and designated Aeromonas sp. J-5003. The strain produced two chitinoloytic enzymes: chitinase and chitobiase. The optimum culture conditions of the strain for production of chitinoloytic enzymes were investigated. For the production of chitinase, the major components of medium were colloidal chitin $0.5\%$, glucose $0.2\%$, yeast extract $0.25\%$ and peptone $0.25\%$ while for the production of chitobiase, they were colloidal chitin $0.5\%$, galactose and tryptone $0.2\%$. The optimum cultural temperature and initial pH for the production of chitinase and chitobiase were $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively.

Chitinase is one of the most important mycolytic enzymes with industrial significance. This enzyme is produced by a number of organisms including bacteria. In this study, we describe the optimization of media components with increased production of chitinase for the selected bacteria, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, isolated from soil. Different components of the defined media responsible for influencing chitinase secretion by the bacterial isolate were screened using Plackett-Burman experimental design and were further optimized by Box-Behnken factorial design of response surface methodology in liquid culture. Maximum chitinase production was predicted in medium containing 4.94 g/l chitin, 5.56 g/l maltose, 0.62 g/l yeast extract, 1.33 g/l $KH_2PO_4$, and 0.65 g/l $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ using response surface plots and the point prediction tool of the DESIGN EXPERT 7.1.6 (Stat-Ease, USA) software.

An antagonistic bacterium Pseudomonas stutzeri YPL-1 liberated extracellular chitinase and $\beta$-1,3-glucanase which are key enzymes in the decomposition of fungal hyphal walls. The lytic enzymes caused abnormal swelling and retreating at the hyphal tips of plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium solani in a dual culture. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the hyphal degradation of F. solani in the regions interacting with P. stutzeri YPL-1. The production of chitinase and properties of a crude preparation of the enzyme from P. stutzeri YPL-1 were investigated. Peak of the chitinase activity was detected after 4 hr of cultivation. The enzyme had optimum temperature and pH of 50$^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.3, respectively. The enzyme was stable in the pH range of 3.5 to 6.0 up to 50$^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was significantly inhibited by metal compounds such as $HgCl_2$, but was stimulated by $CoCl_2$. P. stutzeri YPL-1 produced high levels of the enzyme after 84 hr of incubation. Among the tested carbon sources, chitin was the most effective for the enzyme production, at the concentration level of 3%. As a source of nitrogen, peptone was the best for the enzyme production, at the concentration level of 4%. The maximum amount of enzyme was produced by cultivating the bacterium at a medium of initial pH 6.8.

The strain of Serratia marcescens QM B1466 produces selectively large amount of chitinolytic enzymes (about 1mg/L medium). Enzymatic hydrolysis of chitin to N-acetyl-${\beta}$-D-glucosamine (NAG) was performed with a system consisting of two hydrolases (chitinase and chitobiase) produced by optimization of a microbial host consuming chitin particles. For the development of Large-scale biological process for the production of NAG from chitinaceous waste, the selection and optimization of a microbial host, particle size of crab/shrimp chitin sources and initial induction time using chitin as a sole carbon source on chitinase/chitobiase production and NAG production were examined. Crab-shell chitin(1.5%) treated by dilute acid and , ball-milled with a normal diameter less than 250m gave the highest chitinase activity over a 7 days culture. Crude chitinase/ chitobiase solution obtained in a 10 L fed-batch fermentation showed a maximum activities of 23.6 U/mL and 5.1 U/mL, respectively with a feeding time of 3 hrs, near pH 8.5 at 30$^{\circ}C$.

The chitinase producing Lysobacter enzymogenes C-3 has previously been shown to suppress plant pathogens in vitro and in the field, but little is known of the regulation of chitinase production, or its role in antimicrobial activity and biocontrol. In this study, we isolated and characterized chitinase-defective mutants by screening the transposon mutants of L. enzymogenes C-3. These mutations disrupted genes involved in diverse functions: glucose-galactose transpoter (gluP), disulfide bond formation protein B (dsbB), Clp protease (clp), and polyamine synthase (speD). The chitinase production of the SpeD mutant was restored by the addition of exogenous spermidine or spermine to the bacterial cultures. The speD and clp mutants lost in vitro antifungal activities against plant fungal pathogens. However, the gluP and dsbB mutants showed similar antifungal activities to that of the wild-type. The growth of the mutants in nutrient rich conditions containing chitin was similar with that of the wild-type. However, growth of the speD and gluP mutants was defective in chitin minimal medium, but was observed no growth retardation in the clp and dsbB mutant on chitin minimal medium. In this study, we identified the four genes might be involved and play different role in the production of extracellular chitinase and antifungal activity in L. enzymogenes C-3.

Four chitinase producing bacteria, Arthrobacter nicotinae CH4, Arthrobacter nicotinae CHI3, Arthrobacter sp. CH5 and Micrococcus sp. CH3, were isolated from small crabs and shrimps. We investigated the optimum medium condition for the production of enzyme and high cell mass. The preferable medium composition was as follows: colchitin 0.1 %(w/v), glycerol 0.25%(w/v) and yeast extract 0.05%(w/v) in minimal midium ($K_{2}HPO_{4}$ 0.7 g/l, $KH_{2}PO_{4}$ 0.3 g/l, $MgSO_{4}{\cdot}5H_{2}O$ 0.5 g/l, $FeSO_{4}}{\cdot}7H_{2}O$ 0.01 g/l, $ZnSO_{4}$ 0.001 g/l, $MnCI_2$ 0.001 g/l, pH 7.0). This cell culture medium could be used directly as sample for measuring chitinase activity. Because it hardly conreducing sugar such as glucose (blank value=0), the detected reducing sugar can be considered as a chitinase reaction product. The results can be used for easy preparation method for determination of enzyme activity and analysis of enzyme-substrate reaction in step of screening of chitinase producing bacteria.

A Screening test was carried out for chitin-decomposing bacteria. In 100 samples from soil, fesh water and sea water, 7 strains of Chitinolytic bacteria were isolated. 5-3K which exhibited the highest chitinase activity was identified as Aeromonas hydrophila and cultural conditions from maximum chitinase production were determined. Optimum Chitinase production was obtained at pH 7, 33eC and with chitin concentration greater tham 0.2% Under optimal conditions, high yields of Chitinase were obtained in 16-30 hours. Chitinase was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and sephadex G-100 gel-filtration from the culture filtrgte.

Phytopathogenic fungi들에 대해 매우 공격적인 Trichoderma hurzianum은 다른 곰팡이들의 세포벽 주성분인 chitin을 분해하는 extracellualr chitinase를 분비하기 때문에 매우 효율적인 biocontrol agent로 사용할 수 있다. Trichoderma harzianum의 생물학적 제어 기능을 이용하기 위하여 extracellualr chitinase의 생산성을 높일 수 있는 batch모드에서의 적정 환경을 찾는 일은 매우 복잡하다. 이러한 문제를 해결할 수 있는 방법이 바로 self-directing optimization이다 이 방법을 이용하여 실험한 결과 6∼7차례의 실험만으로 최적의 온도 혹은 pH 및 폭기율과 교반양을 구할 수 있었다. 그 결과 온도 $32^{\circ}C$, pH4.9, 폭기율 3.22 ι, 교반율 225 rpm에서 chitinase의 최대 생산량 16.825 U를 나타내었다. 이는 온도 $25^{\circ}C$, pH 5, 폭기율 1l, 교반율 150 rpm에서 나타난 chitinase 생산량 4.221 U에 비교하면 3.99배 증가한 효과를 나타내고 있다. 이로서 self-directing optimization방법을 통한 최적화 기술이 효소 생산 기술에 있어 그 최적화 과정을 단축시키고 최종 과정에 도달하는 새로운 기술로 적용할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
