1Chitiniphilus shinanonensis type strain SAY3T is a strongly chitinolytic bacterium, 2 originally isolated from the moat water in Ueda, Japan. To elucidate the chitinolytic 3 activity of this strain, 15 genes (chiA-chiO) coding for putative chitin-degrading 4 enzymes were isolated from a genomic library. Sequence analysis revealed the genes 5
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
