Chitosanase from Absidia orchidis
Committee on Biotechnology PAS ; Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry PAS
Absidia orchidis can be used as a source of several enzymes, amongst whichchitosanase is one of the most interesting. Chitosanase hydrolyses the links between the mers of glucosamine or between mers of glucosamine andN-acetylglucosamine in the chains of chitosan and chitin.The aim of the presented work was the preliminary investigations of thechitosanase from the fungus Absidia orchidis. This chitosanase is an intracellularenzyme with molecular weight approx. 36 000 Da. The optimal conditions for ahydrolysis of chitosan were pH 4.5 and temperature 25°C. This enzyme is stableat the optimal temperature for 24-48 hours, but after 7 days it was inactivated.
