Chitin is the richest renewable polymer carbohydrate in the marine environment and is an energetic source of nitrogen and carbon for marine organisms. Marine chitinolytic bacteria play a basic role in the nutrient cycling in the oceans by biodegradation of chitinous waste to useful form. Chitinase-producing bacteria from marine wastes increasing attention has received, and it serves two purposes: (i) reduce environmental hazards by waste management and (ii) increases generation of industrially important value-added products. This review aims to present the environmental pitfalls caused by marine waste and successes of chitinase-producing bacteria in employ waste for the generation of functional and valuable products, as well as to present importance role of chitinase-producing bacteria in industry. The focus is on isolation, purification, biochemical and enzymatic characteristics of chitinolytic bacteria in the oceans.
几丁质是海洋环境中最丰富的可再生聚合物碳水化合物，是海洋生物氮和碳的能量来源。海洋几丁质分解菌通过将几丁质废物生物降解为有用形式，在海洋养分循环中起着基本作用。人们越来越关注从海洋废物中产生几丁质酶的细菌，它有两个目的：（i）通过废物管理减少环境危害，（ii）增加工业上重要的增值产品的产生。本综述旨在介绍海洋废物造成的环境陷阱以及产几丁质酶细菌在利用废物生产功能性和有价值产品方面的成功，并介绍产几丁质酶细菌在工业中的重要作用。重点是海洋中几丁质分解菌的分离、纯化、生化和酶学特性。
