The gene encoding a novel chitosanase from Bacillus sp. strain K17 was cloned and sequenced. The nucleotide sequence of the gene contained an open reading frame corresponded to a protein of 453 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence of the K17 chitosanase exhibited the highest homology to those of family 8 glycanases, suggesting that the enzyme belonged to family 8.
