A chitosanase of deep-biosphere Bacillus thuringiensis strain JAM-GG01 was purified. The optimal pH and temperature for the purified enzyme (Cho-GG) were about pH 6 and 60 degrees C, but Cho-GG was unexpectedly unstable under incubation at over 40 degrees C. This discrepancy between higher activity and lower stability in the same range of temperature was abolished by the addition of reaction products, chitotriose and chitotetraose. The Cho-GG gene was amplified by PCR and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence of Cho-GG showed more than 98% identity to those of other Bacillus enzymes belonging to GH family 8. Although Cho-GG did not show the definite characteristics of a sub-seafloor ectoenzyme, the thermal stability of many chitosanases of B. turingienesis and other related strains can be improved by adding chitotriose or chitotetraose.
