Chitin deacetylase can be used in the green and efficient preparation of chitosan from chitin. Herein, a novel chitin deacetylase <i>Sb</i>CDA from <i>Streptomyces bacillaris</i> was heterologously expressed and comprehensively characterized. <i>Sb</i>DNA exhibits its highest deacetylation activity at 35 °C and pH 8.0. The enzyme activity is enhanced by Mn<sup>2+</sup> and prominently inhibited by Zn<sup>2+</sup>, SDS, and EDTA. <i>Sb</i>CDA showed better deacetylation activity on colloidal chit ...[more]
