Two-step purification and characterization of chitinase from Bacillus cereus V5331: evaluation of antagonistic potential of enzyme against fruit juice contaminant Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Chitinases are gaining importance as biocatalysts for environmentally friendly food preservation and biocontrol. The present study reports on the purification and biochemical characterization of a chitinase from Bacillus cereus V5331 and its anti-yeast activity in grape juice. The enzyme was purified by Sephadex G-100,...
