Chitin is a polysaccharide widely distributed in nature. Among 115 strains from 29 species of lactic acid bacteria only strains belonging to Carnobacterium divergens and Carnobacterium maltaromaticum hydrolyzed alpha-chitin. This activity was not affected by temperature (10 degrees C versus 30 degrees C) and in most cases not subject to glucose catabolite repression. (C) 2008 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
