Résumé
This paper reports the isolation and identification of an acido-thermostable chitinase (ChiA-Ba43) which was purified, from the culture liquid of Bacillus altitudinis strain KA15, and characterized. Purification of ChiA-Ba43 produced a 69.6-fold increase in the specific activity (120,000 U/mg) of the chitinase, with a yield of 51% using colloidal chitin as substrate. ChiA-Ba43 was found to be a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 43,190.05 Da as determined by MALDI-TOF/MS. N-terminal sequence of the first 27 amino-acids (aa) of ChiA-Ba43 displayed homology to chitinases from other Bacillus species. Interestingly, ChiA-Ba43 exhibited optimum pH and temperature of 4-5.5 and 85 °C, respectively. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) showed that the final hydrolyzed products of the enzyme from chitin-oligosaccharides and colloidal chitin are a mixture of (GlcNAc)
