Abstract
Screening for chitinolytic activity in the bacterial strains from different Pacific Ocean regions revealed that the highly active representatives belong to the genera Microbulbifer, Vibrio, Aquimarina, and Pseudoalteromonas. The widely distributed chitinolytic species was Microbulbifer isolated from the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius. Among seventeen isolates with confirmed chitinolytic activity, only the type strain P. flavipulchra KMM 3630T and the strains of putatively new species Pseudoalteromonas sp. B530 and Vibrio sp. Sgm 5, isolated from sea water (Vietnam mollusc farm) and the sea urchin S. intermedius (Peter the Great Gulf, the Sea of Japan), significantly suppressed the hyphal growth of Aspergillus niger that is perspective for the biocontrol agents' development. The results on chitinolytic activities and whole-genome sequencing of the strains under study, including agarolytic type strain Z. galactanivorans DjiT, found the new functionally active chitinase structures and biotechnological potential.
