Abstract: Using chitin as the sole carbon source, a chitinase-producing strain of Actinomycetes X1 was isolated from naturally fermented Jinga shrimp (Metapenaeus affinis) paste. It was identified as Streptomyces diastaticus by morphology, molecular biology and physiological and biochemical experiments and was named CS 1801. The chitinase enzyme activity produced by this strain was 117.4 U/L after culture at 30 ℃ for 7 days. By ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS), chitobiose, chitotriose, chitotetraose, chitopentaose and chitohexaose were identified from the fermentation broth of strain CS 1801.

Key words: chitinase, Streptomyces, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry
