S. marcescens QM 81466 균주는 chitin 분해 효소(1mg/Lmedium)를 선택적으로 높게 생성시킬 수 있는 균주로서, chitin을 N-acetyl-$\beta$-D-glucosa­m mine(NAG)으로 효소적 가수분해를 할 때 chitinase와 chitobiase의 두 가지 가수분해 효소계를 구 성시킨다. 본 연구에서는 이 균주의 chitinase/chitobiase 생성을 위한 chitin 입자크기에 대한 최적화와, 회분 발효계에서 이 균주의 세포 밀도 배양에 따른 두 효소 생성의 변화를 조사하여 NAG 생산성의 증대를 시도하였다. 아울러. chitin과 CM­ chitin이 chitinase/chito biase 생성비 와 NAG 생성 에 미치는 영향을 검토하였는데, CM-chitin을 colloidal 및 결정성 chitin 대신에 사용했을 때, chitinase 활성을 약 7~10U/mL 증가시켰다. 이 경우에 있어서, chitinase/chitobiase의 비는 9:1로 서 NAG의 생성량이 3.0g/L로서 높게 나타났다.

A chitinolytic enzyme-producing bacterium was isolated from sea water on the coast of Busan. The bacterium was identified as Aeromonas sp. based on its morphological, cultural and biochemical characteristics and designated Aeromonas sp. J-5003. The strain produced two chitinoloytic enzymes: chitinase and chitobiase. The optimum culture conditions of the strain for production of chitinoloytic enzymes were investigated. For the production of chitinase, the major components of medium were colloidal chitin $0.5\%$, glucose $0.2\%$, yeast extract $0.25\%$ and peptone $0.25\%$ while for the production of chitobiase, they were colloidal chitin $0.5\%$, galactose and tryptone $0.2\%$. The optimum cultural temperature and initial pH for the production of chitinase and chitobiase were $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively.

The strain of Serratia marcescens QM B1466 produces selectively large amount of chitinolytic enzymes (about 1mg/L medium). Enzymatic hydrolysis of chitin to N-acetyl-${\beta}$-D-glucosamine (NAG) was performed with a system consisting of two hydrolases (chitinase and chitobiase) produced by optimization of a microbial host consuming chitin particles. For the development of Large-scale biological process for the production of NAG from chitinaceous waste, the selection and optimization of a microbial host, particle size of crab/shrimp chitin sources and initial induction time using chitin as a sole carbon source on chitinase/chitobiase production and NAG production were examined. Crab-shell chitin(1.5%) treated by dilute acid and , ball-milled with a normal diameter less than 250m gave the highest chitinase activity over a 7 days culture. Crude chitinase/ chitobiase solution obtained in a 10 L fed-batch fermentation showed a maximum activities of 23.6 U/mL and 5.1 U/mL, respectively with a feeding time of 3 hrs, near pH 8.5 at 30$^{\circ}C$.

Chitinase and chitobiase produced by Aeromonas sp. J-5003 were purified and characterized. The chitinase was purified to 19.4 folds by gel chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography with the overall yield of $2.2\%$ and the specific activity of 93.1 unit/mg. The purified enzyme showed a single band on SDS-PAGE with MW 54kDa. The optimum pH and temperature of the purified chitinase were 7.0 and $37^{\circ}C$, respectively, and this enzyme stable in the range of pH 6.0 to 10.0 below $37^{\circ}C$. $Mg^{2+},\;Ca^{2+}\;and\;Na^+$ slightly stimulated the chitinase activity. However, $Hg^{2+}\;and\;Fe^{3+}$ inhibited chitinase activity. The chitobiase was purified by Sephacryl HR-l00 gel chromatography and DEAE-Sephadex A-50 ion-exchange chromatography with 33.5 purification folds and $4.3\%$ yield. The purified enzyme showed a single band with MW 63 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature of the purified chitobiase were 7.0 and $37^{\circ}C$, respectively. And this enzyme was stable in the range of pH 6.0 to 9.0 and at the temperature below $37^{\circ}C$. The enzyme activity was increased by $Mn^{2+}$, but it was inhibited by $Ag^+$.

For the production of potent chitinolytic enzyme from bacteria, screening was carried out. Of 100 samples from soil, fresh water and sea water collected from the Kyung-gi area, 7 strains of chitinolytic bacteria were isolated. Among them, Aeromonas hydrophila 5-3K showed the highest chitinolytic activity. Culture conditions of Aeromonas hydrophila for the production of chitinolytic enzyme were inverstigated and lytic enzyme was fractionated by the use of ammonium sulfate and Sephadex G-100. Maximum production of chitinolytic enzyme was obtained at pH 7.0 and 30$\circ$C with chitin concentration between 0.2% and 1.0%. Conditions for the enzyme production were optimized including fermentor cultivation. The chitinolytic system of Aeromonas hydrophila 5-3K was composed of two enzymes, chitinase and chitobiase.

The enzymatic hydrolysis of chitin has been studied for almost a century, and early work established that at least two enzymes are required, a chitinase that mainly yields the disaccharide N,N'-diacetylchitobiose, or $(GlcNAc)_2$, and a "chitobiase", or ${\beta}$-N-acetylglucosaminidase, which gives the final product G1cNAc. This pathway has not been completely identified but has remained the central concept for the chitin catabolism through the $20^{th}$ century1 including in marine bacteria. However, the chitin catabolic cascade is quite complex, as described in this review. This report describes three biologically functional genes involved in the chitin catabolic cascade of Vibrios in an attempt to better understand the metabolic pathway of chitin.
