The ability of marine bacteria to adhere to detrital particulate organic matter and rapidly switch on metabolic genes in an effort to reproduce is an important response for bacterial survival in the pelagic marine environment. The goal of this investigation was to evaluate the relationship between chitinolytic gene expression and extracellular chitinase activity in individual cells of the marin...

To carry out a genetic analysis of the degradation and utilization of chitin by Serratia marcescens 2170, various Tn5 insertion mutants with characteristic defects in chitinase production were isolated and partially characterized. Prior to the isolation of the mutants, proteins secreted into culture medium in the presence of chitin were analyzed. Four chitinases, A, B, C1, and C2, among other p...

The high industrial demand for thermostable chitinase with new and desirable characteristics has led to the exploration of chitinolytic bacteria from extreme environments. Therefore, this study aimed isolate, screen, identify chitinase–producing Ijen hot spring, Indonesia. highest activity bacterium was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing its were confirmed morphological physiological analys...

the present study was conducted to detect the occurrence, serotype, genotype, phylogenetic relationship and antimicrobial resistance pattern of stec from healthy goats of west bengal, india. from the 125 faecal samples collected from healthy goats, 245 isolates were identified as escherichia coli. the e. coli harbouring any gene for shiga toxins (stx1/stx2) was detected in 36 (14.7%) of the 245...

Entomopathogenic fungi can produce a series of chitinases, some of which function synergistically with proteases and other hydrolytic enzymes to degrade the insect cuticle. In the present study, the chitinase gene Ifu-chit2 from Isaria fumosorosea was investigated. The Ifu-chit2 gene is 1,435-bp long, interrupted by three short introns, and encodes a predicted protein of 423 amino acids with a ...
