Chitinase A of Streptomyces cyaneus SP-27 or chitinase I of Bacillus circulans KA-304 showed the protoplast-forming activity when combined with α-1,3-glucanase of B. circulans KA-304. The gene of chitinase A was cloned. It consisted of 903 nucleotides encoding 301 amino acid residues, including a pu...
