Described is chitinase immobilization on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as biocompatible support for enzymatic production of di-N-acetyl chitobiose from chitin waste. Chitinase immobilization was feasible with an immobilization yield of 88.9 ± 1.6 % with 97.8 ± 1.0 % retention of activity and compared to free enzyme work, immobilization conferred better thermal and storage stability. As practical benefit the attachment to magnetic nanocarriers enabled easy enzyme recovery after repeated application runs and thus sustainable reuse. In fixed state chitinase retained a remarkable 39.7 ± 2.6 % of the starting activity after 16 reaction cycles. Furthermore, immobilized chitinase showed higher catalytic activity than free chitinase in converting shrimp shells and squid-pens chitins into di-N-acetyl chitobiose in a single-step reaction. The final yield of purified compound was 37.0 ± 1.2 % from shrimp shells and 61.1 ± 0.5 % from squid-pens chitin. In conclusion, an efficient MNP-based chitinase immobilization system with the potential for large-scale production was developed.

The genes encoding beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (nagA and cbsA) from Thermotoga maritima and Thermotoga neapolitana were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli in order to investigate whether Thermotoga sp. is capable of utilizing chitin as a carbon source. NagA and CbsA were purified to homogeneity by HiTrap Q HP and Sephacryl S-200 HR column chromatography.

Giardia lamblia is present in the intestinal lumen as a binucleate, flagellated trophozoite or a quadranucleate, immotile cyst. Here we used the plant lectin wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), which binds to the disaccharide di-N-acetyl-chitobiose (GlcNAc(2)), which is the truncated Asn-linked glycan (N-glycan) of Giardia, to affinity purify the N-glycomes (glycoproteins with N-glycans) of trophozoites and cysts. Fluorescent WGA bound to the perinuclear membranes, peripheral acidified vesicles, and plasma membranes of trophozoites.

Chitin binding proteins prepared from Vibrio proteolyticus were purified and the N-terminal amino-acid sequence of a protein from a 110-kDa band on SDS-PAGE was found to be 85-90% identical to the 22nd-41st residues of the N-termini of chitinase A precursor proteins from other vibrios. We cloned the corresponding gene, which encodes a putative protein of 850 amino acids containing a 26-residue signal sequence. The chitinase precursor from V.
