Yatalase, Fungal Cell Lytic Enzymes

Shipping dry ice

Yatalase is used to lyse cell walls of filamentous fungi. The product is prepared from culture supernatants of Corynebacterium sp. OZ-21, and consists mainly of chitinase, chitobiase and β -1, 3-glucanase.
Features
Has excellent thermostability and can be stored at room temperature. Efficiently digests native chitin. Has the revitalization of Chitinase, Chitobiase, Chitosanase, and β -1, 3-Glucanarse Can be used alone to prepare protoplasts from filamentous fungi.

UNIT DEFINITION
Chitinase activity: One unit of chitinase activity is determined as the amount required to release 1µ mol of N-acetylglucosamine from chitin in 1 minute.
Chitobiase activity: One unit of chitobiase activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to release 1µ mol of p-nitrophenol from p-nitrophenyl-N-acetyl-β -D-glucosaminide in 1 minute. Lytic activity: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount required to cause a 1% decrease in absorbance in 1 hour.
