Disease relevance of chiA

  • A chitinase from Bacillus cereus NCTU2 (ChiNCTU2) capable of hydrolyzing chitin as a carbon and nitrogen nutrient has been identified as a member of the family 18 glycoside hydrolases [1].
 

High impact information on chiA

  • Motility, the presence of flagella, haemolysis, chitinase and lecithinase production were also evaluated [2].
