title: [Extracellular proteinases and chitinases, produced by a Streptomyces kurssanovii culture].
abstract: Extracellular enzymes--a chitinase and a protease with molecular weights 22 and 32 kDa, respectively--were isolated from Streptomyces kurssanovii cells. After purification on modified regenerated chitin, the enzymes were virtually homogeneous according to denaturing PAGE. Both enzymes were found to degrade chitosan.
