[Hydrolysis of chitosan sulfate by an enzyme complex from Streptomyces kurssanovii].
The possibility of enzymatic hydrolysis of chitosan was shown. The optimum conditions for the process are: sodium acetate buffer pH 6.0, 37 degrees C, 24 h, and the chitosan sulfate-protein volume ratio of 500:1 in the enzyme preparation. During hydrolysis, the intrinsic viscosity of chitosan sulfate solution decreased by a factor of 2.7.
