Abstract:
A chitinase-producing strain B120 was isolated from Fujian soil and identified as Bacillus cereus by 16S rDNA sequence analysis. The chitinase-producing media were optimized and the optimal medium formulations were ob tained and as follow: lactose 3.5%, peptone 1.0%, powdered chitin 0.2%, K2HPO4 0.07%, KH2PO4 0.03%, MgSO4 0.05%, FeSO4-H20 0.002%, NaCl 0.5%, pH 6.0. Fermenting under these conditions for 84 h, chitinase activity could reach 603 U/L, 5.93 times higher than before optimization (87 U/L). Furthermore, the chitinase properties were studied. The results showed that the optimum reaction pH and temperature were 8.0 and 50℃, respectively. This enzyme was stable under 30℃ and pH 7.0-10.0, and more than 74% of relative activity was retained after incubation for 1 h. It was a kind of mesothermal and alkaline chitinases. © 2017, Editorial Office of Journal of CIFST. All right reserved.
