What grade of chitin should be used for chitinase enzyme production by bacteria?

08 January 2024 1 10K Report

Mention the purity and brand of the chitin to be amended in the medium for chitinase production by rhizobacteria.

No such precise grade, chitin flakes are insoluble in the media therefore break down of it will be difficult to observe clear halo zones. Instead, you need to use the colloidal chitin which is more soluble. there is a recipe to preaper colloindal chintin from chitin flakes.
