Why is it important?

Fungal chitinase gene is used to generate transgenic plants to ward-off fungal diseases and the enzyme is used for production of chitio-oligosachharides

Perspectives

The thermostable chitinase is over-expressed in S. cerevisiae and available for large scale production. The gene is under Indian Patent
