Journal of Marine Science and Technology

A recombinant endochitinase fused with hexahistidine (rEC-H) was expressed and characterized. After Ni affinity chromatography, the recovery, purification-fold and specific activity of rEC-H were 88.8%, 13.4 and 142.1 U/mg, respectively. The purified rEC-H had optimal pH and temperature at pH 7.5 and 60°C, respectively and was stable at pH 4.0-9.0 and
