摘要： Chitooligosaccharides (COSs) have been widely used in agriculture, medicine, cosmetics, and foods, which are commonly prepared from chitin with chitinases. So far, while most COSs are prepared from colloidal chitin, chitinases used in preparing COSs directly from natural crystalline chitin are less reported. Here, we characterize three chitinases, which were identified from the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas flavipulchra DSM 14401(T), with an ability to degrade crystalline chitin into (GlcNAc)(2) (N,N'-diacetylchitobiose). Strain DSM 14401 can degrade the crystalline alpha-chitin in the medium to provide nutrients for growth. Genome and secretome analyses indicate that this strain secretes six chitinolytic enzymes, among which chitinases Chia4287, Chib0431, and Chib0434 have higher abundance than the others, suggesting their importance in crystalline alpha-chitin degradation. These three chitinases were heterologously expressed, purified, and characterized. They are all active on crystalline alpha-chitin, with temperature optima of 45-50 degrees C and pH optima of 7.0-7.5. They are all stable at 40 degrees C and in the pH range of 5.0-11.0. Moreover, they all have excellent salt tolerance, retaining more than 92% activity after incubation in 5 M NaCl for 10 h at 4 degrees C. When acting on crystalline alpha-chitin, the main products of the three chitinases are all (GlcNAc)(2), which suggests that chitinases Chia4287, Chib0431, and Chib0434 likely have potential in direct conversion of crystalline chitin into (GlcNAc)(2).
