“…Chitinases are essential glycoside hydrolases that catalyze the degradation of chitin by cleaving its GlcNAc bond, and endochitinases cleave randomly at internal sites of chitin, generating soluble low mass multimers of GlcNAc such as chitotetraose, chitotriose, and chitobiose. Several chitinases have been isolated and characterized from various sources [1][2][3]. They are abundant in nature, occurring in plants, animals, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and insects, and they have various functions, including defense, nutrient digestion, morphogenesis, and pathogenesis [3].…”
