Application
Chitosanase from Sigma has been used for polarized light-stimulated, enzymatic hydrolysis of chitin and chitosan.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Chitosanase catalyzes the endohydrolysis of β-1,4-linkages between D-glucosamine (GlcN-GlcN) residues in chitosan. The enzyme from Streptomyces has been reported to also hydrolyze the GlcNAc-GlcN linkage in partially acetylated chitosan.
Other Notes
One unit will liberate 1.0 μmole of reducing sugar (measured as D-glucosamine equivalents) from chitosan per minute at pH 5.5 at 37 °C.

Canthaxanthin is a reddish-orange xanthophyll with strong antioxidant activity and higher bioavailability than carotenes, primarily used in food, cosmetics, aquaculture, and pharmaceutical industries. The spiking market for natural canthaxanthin promoted researchers toward genetic engineering of heterologous hosts for canthaxanthin production.

Illumination with white linearly polarized light (WLPL) stimulated chitinase and chitosanase in their degradation of chitin and chitosan, respectively. Enzymes were illuminated at room temperature in separate vessels, then admixed in reactors containing polysaccharides. Hydrolysis of chitosan to glucosamine followed

Chitosanase was produced by the strain of Streptomyces lividans TK24 bearing the csn gene from Streptomyces sp. N174, and purified by S-Sepharose and Bio-Gel A column chromatography. Partially (25-35%) N-acetylated chitosan was digested by the purified chitosanase, and structures of
