Insights into Chitin-Degradation Potential of <i>Shewanella khirikhana</i> JW44 with Emphasis on Characterization and Function of a Chitinase Gene <i>SkChi65</i>
Chitin, a polymer of β-1,4-linked <i>N</i>-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), can be degraded into valuable oligosaccharides by various chitinases. In this study, the genome of <i>Shewanella khirikhana</i> JW44, displaying remarkable chitinolytic activity, was investigated to unders...
