Heterologous expression, and characterization of chitinase from Kitasatospora setae and its efficient conversion of chitin polymer into chitobiose.

Using chitinase to convert chitin into oligosaccharides is greener compared to chemical methods. However, the low activity and low yield of existing chitinase enzymes limit their use. Here we reported a chitinase gene of Kitasatospora setae extracted…
