The polysaccharide chitin is effectively hydrolyzed and utilized as a carbon and nitrogen source by the Gram-positive bacterium Paenibacillus sp. strain FPU-7. ChiW is a unique cell-surface-expressed chitinase among the Paenibacillus sp. strain FPU-7-secreted chitinases. An N-terminally truncated ChiW protein, primarily comprised of the two catalytic domains of the full-length protein, was successfully overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified as a functional recombinant protein with a molecul ...[more]
