Abstract
⺠The Diospyros kaki chitinase (DKC) is a monomer with a molecular mass of 29 kDa. ⺠It has optimal activity at pH 4.5 and 60 °C with broad pH and thermostability. ⺠Internal peptide sequences of DKC showed similarity with other plant chitinases. ⺠DKC can hydrolyse colloidal chitin into chito-oligosacchaarides. ⺠DKC exhibited antifungal activity towards pathogenic fungus Trichoderma viride.
