Ocean, which provides an essential place for the survival of marine microorganisms …

Chitin is an abundant natural polysaccharide that is hard to degrade because of its
crystalline nature and because it is embedded in robust co-polymeric materials containing …

Four chitinases were cloned and characterized from three strains isolated from a mudflat:
Aeromonas sp. SK10, Aeromonas sp. SK15, and Chitinibacter sp. SK16. In SK10, three …
