| Abstract | An alkalophilic extracellular chitosanase (ACTase) was characterized from the culture supernatant of Bacillus cereus GU-02. Kinetic properties of ACTase produced from B. cereus GU-02 after cultivation in anaerobic condition, alkaline medium (pH 10) at 37°C for 3 days were investigated. ACTase was found to be stable in alkaline pH range from 8 to 10. Interestingly, optimum pH and temperature were estimated to be 10 and 37°C, respectively, where ACTase showed chitosan degrading activity (87%), which was enhanced by 15% in the presence of calcium ions (8 mM). The ACTase produced from B. cereus GU-02 was partially purified from the culture supernatant, and its enzymatic activity was kinetically characterized. The Vmax and Km were estimated with a chitosan (degree of deacetylation, DD 92% as substrate) as 0.038 U/min/µg protein and 0.327 µM, respectively. A combination of the TLC and MALDI-TOF MS results showed that the chitosan oligosaccharides obtained from the hydrolysis of high molecular weight chitosan (HMWC) by ACTase of the B. cereus GU-2 comprise oligomers with degree of polymerization (DP) mainly from dimers to pentamers. High production of ACTase and chitooligosaccharides may be useful for various industrial and biological applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
