GENE ENCODING PROTEIN HAVING CHITINASE ACTIVITY, PLASMID, MICROORGANISM CONTAINING THE SAME GENE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING CHITINASE BY THE SAME MICROORGANISM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a DNA encoding chitinase which a specific microbial strain produces by gene manipulation and mass-produce the chitinase by using the microorganism.;SOLUTION: The chitinase is produced by culturing a microorganism containing a gene encoding (a) a protein composed of an amino acid sequence having chitinase activity and acquired from a specific marine psychrophilic bacterium or (b) a protein having chitinase activity and composed of an amino acid sequence in which one or several amino acids are lost, substituted or added in the amino acid sequence described in the item (a).;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
