The chitinase of Serratia marcescens
Abstract
Serratia marcescens was found to be the most active organism of 100 tested for the production of chitinase. Enterobacter liquefaciens produced nearly as much enzyme. Under optimal conditions high yields of chitinase were obtained in 4–6 days. The S. marcescens enzyme system is extracellular and is composed of an endochitinase, a chitobiase, and a factor (CH 1) required for the hydrolysis of "crystalline" chitin. As such, it closely resembles the cellulase system of Trichoderma viride, and differs from those chitinolytic systems which act only on degraded forms of chitin. The absence of other hydrolytic enzymes in the S. marcescens filtrates makes this a useful system for determining the role of chitinase as a lytic agent.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
