Over the last 30 years, Serratia marcescens has become an important cause of nosocomial
infection. There have been many reports concerning the identification, antibiotic …

The chitinolytic machinery of S erratia marcescens is one of the best known enzyme systems
for the conversion of insoluble polysaccharides. This machinery includes four chitin‐active …

Chitin is among the most abundant biomass present on Earth. Chitinase plays an important
role in the decomposition of chitin and potentially in the utilization of chitin as a renewable …

The Gram-negative soil bacterium Serratia marcescens uses three different family 18
chitinases to degrade chitin, an abundant insoluble carbohydrate polymer composed of β (1 …

Microorganisms are efficient degraders of starch, chitin, and the polysaccharides in plant cell
walls. Attempts to purify hydrolases led to the realization that a microorganism may produce …

Gram‐negative bacteria have evolved numerous pathways to secrete proteins across their
complex cell envelopes. Here, we describe a protein secretion system that uses a holin …

Enzymes known as lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are recognized as
important contributors to aerobic enzymatic degradation of recalcitrant polysaccharides such …

Serratia marcescens produces several chitinolytic enzymes, including chitinase A (ChiA)
and chitinase B (ChiB). In this study, ChiB was purified to homogeneity using a newly …

To discover the individual roles of the chitinases from Serratia marcescens 2170, chitinases
A, B, and C1 (ChiA, ChiB, and ChiC1) were produced by Escherichia coli and their …

Cell Wall Degrading Enzymes (CWDEs) are a heterogeneous group of enzymes including
glycosyl-hydrolases, oxidoreductases, lyases, and esterases. Microbes with degrading …
