Abstract:
Allium Fistulosum L leaves was representatively selected to test their chitinase characteristics by the optimized SDS-Chitin-PAGE.The results showed that three chitinase isozymes, CH-A, CH-B and CH-C, were detected in Allium Fistulosum L leaves.Allium Fistulosum L had the very special characteristic of SDS resistance.β-mercaptoethanol had no significant effect on the chitinase activity.The optimal incubating temperature and time of the crude enzymes with the sample buffer were 24℃, 10~ 20min before the electrophoresis.The activity of CH-A and CH-B could be observed up to 60℃, the activity of CH-C could be observed up to 70℃.The optimal pH ranges for CH-A, CH-B and CH-C were pH 5.2~ 5.6, pH 4.0~ 4.4, and pH 6.6~ 8.0, respectively.
