OBJECTIVE The discovery of a chitinase with high efficiency, high stability and clear degradation mechanism is of great help to promote the research of chitin derivatives and the development of the industrial chain. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experiment, a low-temperature chitinase-producing strain Photobacterium sp. LG-29 was isolated from deep-sea mud in the Bohai Sea, and studied by means of molecular biology, biochemistry and bioinformatics. RESULTS Purification of chitinase yielded an enzyme solution with a concentration of 0.918 mg per mL and a specific activity of 21.036 U per mg. The optimum action temperature is 35 degree C, and it is still active at 4 degree C, showing low-temperature enzymatic activity, and also has certain thermal stability. The optimum pH is 8.0, and it maintains more than 70% of the enzyme activity at pH 11, which is very stable in an alkaline environment. Mn2+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ are the main activators of enzymes, while Fe2+, Zn2+, etc. have extremely significant inhibitory effects on enzymes. The Km and Kcat of chitinase were determined to be 269.05 μmol/L and 0.49 min-1, respectively. Chitinase PbCHI5 has both endonuclease and exonuclease activity. The theoretical pI of the enzyme is 4.16, which is a stable hydrophilic protein.
