| Product Introduction | Chitinase enzymes degrade chitin, a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine found in fungal cell walls and arthropod exoskeletons. Chitinase activity in soil is an important indicator of fungal biomass turnover, biocontrol potential against fungal pathogens, and overall nutrient cycling. This kit measures the activity of chitinolytic enzymes using a colorimetric chitin derivative as a substrate. |
| Product Application | • Fungal biomass decomposition and turnover studies • Research on soil suppressive-ness and biocontrol potential • Nutrient cycling (C and N) investigations • Enzyme profiling in rhizosphere and bulk soil |
| Product Advantages | • Specialized Substrate: Employs a colloidal or dye-labeled chitin substrate that is readily hydrolyzed by chitinase, providing a sensitive and specific measurement. • Quantitative Endpoint: Measures the release of soluble, colored products from the substrate, allowing for direct spectrophotometric quantification of enzyme activity. • Optimized for Soil Enzymes: The extraction and assay conditions are tailored to effectively desorb and measure chitinase activity from soil colloids, where the enzyme is often bound. • Focused Ecological Insight: Provides specific data on an enzyme critical for understanding fungal ecology and the decomposition of a major soil biopolymer. |
