Abstract:Chito-oligosaccharide (COS), one of remakable derivatives of chitosan, has almost chitosan’s biological function but better activities in antibacteria, antifungi and plant elicitor… Producing COS by biological enzymes shows many advantages in comparision with physical and chemical methods. In our study, COS was prepared using chitin/chitosan-hydrolyzing enzyme from actinomycetes. By analysis of 16S rDNA sequence, the enzyme producer VTCC 940003 belonged to Streptomyces macrosporeus. The strain’s ability to syn… Show more
