る。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Chitin is the second most abundant biomass resource after cellulose, and its effective utilization has been strongly desired for some time. In addition, chitooligosaccharide, which is a partial decomposition product of chitin, is being used in the food field as a low-cariogenic, non-digestible sweetener, or as a texture improver, and in the pharmaceutical field, it has been used to strengthen cellular immunity. Expectations are high for its use as a bifidus factor. Chitooligosaccharides are usually produced by treating chitin with concentrated hydrochloric acid for a long period of time.
This requires complicated steps such as subsequent desalting operations. For this reason, decomposition products can be obtained with mild and simple operations.
The use of chitinase is desired. In addition, in recent years, research has been conducted to reduce the molecular weight of chitosan or to generate oligosaccharides by using chitinase to act on chitosan (Agric. Biol.

望まれていた。[0003] In chitinase production methods using these bacteria, it is generally necessary to colloidize or finely powder demineralized chitin and add it to the medium as an induction substrate. For this colloid formation, after the demineralized chitin is immersed in concentrated mineral acid and ground, the chitin must be thoroughly washed with a large amount of water to remove the remaining acid. In addition, pulverization is performed using a ball mill, etc., but the amount of processing is limited and it takes a long time, so there was a strong desire for a method for producing chitinase that could use demineralized chitin as it is as an induction substrate. .

能となったのである。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present inventors have conducted a wide search for various chitinase-producing bacteria from the natural world, and as a result, a new strain of the genus Bacillus was newly isolated.
The present invention was completed based on the knowledge that, without using colloidal chitin or finely powdered chitin as an induction substrate, by simply adding demineralized chitin, an enzyme that decomposes chitin efficiently can be produced outside the bacterial cell. reached. That is, the present invention provides a bacterial strain capable of efficiently producing chitinase from an enzyme production medium containing demineralized chitin without the need for a specially treated induction substrate, and a novel chitinase produced by the strain. The present invention also provides a method for producing chitinase using the strain, whereby
The production of chitinases on an industrial scale has now been significantly improved.

Culture of microorganisms For culturing this bacterial strain, ordinary bacterial culture methods can be used, but as a carbon source, in order to induce chitinolytic activity, chitin, such as demineralized crab shell, is used as the main carbon source. It is desirable to use known carbon sources in appropriate combinations as necessary. Further, as the nitrogen source, organic or inorganic nitrogen compounds such as ammonium salts, nitrates, yeast extracts, and peptones are used alone or in combination. Furthermore, inorganic salts such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are also added as necessary. The culture temperature is usually 25 to 37°C, preferably 27 to 32°C, and the initial pH is usually 6.0 to 7.5, but a particularly preferable value is around 7.0. The culture time is usually 24 to 96 hours, preferably 48 to 96 hours. When cultured by a method such as aerated agitation culture, chitinase is produced and accumulated in the culture.
