Abstract:
The thesis is proposed to study the occurrence and distribution
of chitinoclasts in water, sediment and fauna as
related to site characteristics such as temperature,
salinity, depth of water, pH, etc. Since no information
is available on the chitinolytic properties of coastal
strains, it is also proposed to study the chitinolytic
activity of the bacterial isolates in relation to various
environmental conditions. It is also planned to work out the taxonomy of some of the representative isolates and certain kinetic properties of their chitinases. It is expected that the results of the study would yield a comprehensive information-on the chitinoclastic bacteria in the southern coastal zone of
west coast of India.
