Abstract
Bacillus velezensis RB.IBE29 harbors two chitinases belonging to the glycoside hydrolase family 18 and exhibiting a novel domain structure. The roles of these chitinases in crop production have been reported; nevertheless, their contribution to controlling human pathogens is unknown. In this initial work, the chitinases A (BvChiA) and B (BvChiB) of strain RB.IBE29 were produced in recombinant Escherichia coli BL21-CodonPlus (DE3)-RIPL cells and subsequently purified using HisTrap FF column. The purified BvChiA and BvChiB exhibited the highest chitinase and binding activities against colloidal chitin. Combining both chitinases for the hydrolysis of powdered chitin increased the reducing sugar content by 88.7 %. Moreover, the purified chitinases remarkably suppressed the germination of Candida albicans VTCC 20568 (=JCM 2070) cells. These results indicated that the novel domain-structure-containing chitinases of strain RB.IBE29 have great potential and can be further developed as a novel therapeutic agent against human pathogenic C. albicans.
