Development of rapid screening method for low-yielding chitosanase activity using Remazol Brilliant Blue-chitosan as substrate

Chitosanolytic activity was monitored using chitosan impregnated with Remazol Brilliant Blue R dye (RBB). Low-yielding chitosan (1%, w/v) hydrolysis was modelled using Viscozyme® L (50%, w/w), a commercial mixed-glucanase, and was found to perform optimally at pH 4.5 and 50 °C. The chitosanase assay...
