Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microorganisms, and particularly relates to a strain producing chitin deacetylase and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Chitin is a polysaccharide substance that is very abundant in nature. It is widely found in shrimp and crab shells and is a common waste from seafood processing. After the chitin is deacetylated, when the deacetylation degree reaches more than 50%, it is chitosan, which has good biocompatibility, safety and many biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, hypoglycemic, anti-tumor, etc., and has great application value in the fields of food, medicine, materials, etc. The traditional method of preparing chitosan generally uses shrimp and crab shells as raw materials and then treats them with concentrated alkali to obtain the target product. The specific process is as follows: shrimp shell, crab shell → crushing → acid leaching demineralization → water washing and filtration → dilute alkali deproteinization → oxidation decolorization → washing and filtration → concentrated alkali deacetylation → water washing to neutral → drying → chitosan.

[0003] The traditional concentrated alkali removal conditions are relatively harsh, generally using 40%-50% (w / v) sodium hydroxide solution at 80-100°C. This process will cause serious environmental pollution and has great production safety risks. The development of environmentally friendly, safe, and easy-to-industrial bioenzymatic chitosan preparation technology is the main direction to break through the bottleneck of chitosan preparation.

[0004] In the past 30 years, the research on chitin deacetylase has gradually become a hot topic at home and abroad. Enzymatic deacetylation has many advantages over traditional hot alkaline deacetylation. Its reaction conditions are mild and the amount of alkali used can be greatly reduced, avoiding serious environmental pollution and production safety hazards. Every year in my country, a large amount of shrimp and crab shell waste is not fully utilized, resulting in a waste of resources. Therefore, the development of bio-enzyme method to prepare chitosan is of great significance for the high-value utilization of waste. With the deepening of research on chitin deacetylase, its application in industry can also be gradually realized. Summary of the invention
