摘要
Chitin is the most abundant polysaccharide in nature, second after cellulose as it found in the structure of crustaceans, insects and fungi being a significant component. Sea food waste disposal pose a great problem as chitin in nature degrade at a very gradual rate. Efforts are being made to use chitinase enzyme from different organisms to increase the rate and efficiency of chitin waste disposal. Moreover, chitinase and chitinase producing bacteria are widely being exploited to be used as bio-control agents to inhibit crop pathogens. On the basis of its mechanism of action, chitinase can either be endochitnase or exochitinase. Endo chitinases randomly hydrolyses internal glycosidic bonds in chitin. Exochitinase is exoglycosidase that can be divided into two subtypes based on the specificity of their action Chitinase is synthesized by a number of different microbes including bacteria, fungi and other organisms like mammals, insects etc. This paper gives information about the production of different chitinase enzymes from different bacterial gram-positive species. Antifungal activity for different isolates were tested against A. niger and Penicillium. The isolates showed varying degree of fungal growth inhibition against different fungi.
