substrate of CHITI1 and AMCase, the polysaccharide is contained in many human parasites |
| 3.2.1.14 | chitin + H2O |
the enzyme plays a role in pathogen defense |
| 3.2.1.14 | chitin + H2O |
the enzyme plays a role in pathogen defense and serves as biocontrol agent against the adult Japanese pine sawyer, Monochamus alternatus, oral ingestion of the enzyme by the insect causes high mortality, the enzyme degrades peritrophic membrane chitin in the beetle, but does not affect the midgut epithelium |
| 3.2.1.14 | chitin + H2O |
colloidal chitin: 30% of the activity with ethylene glycol chitin, powdered chitin: 4.5% of the activity with ethylene glycol chitin |
| 3.2.1.14 | chitin + H2O |
chitin from fungal cell wall, the chitinase exhibits different antifungal activities against the four fungi, which is directly correlated to the surface microstructure and the proportion of chitin in the fungal cell wall, antifungal mechanism of action of chitinase against four plant pathogenic fungi, i.e. Rhizopus stolonifer, Botrytis squamosa, Pythium aphanidermatum, and Aspergillus niger, overview |
