Chitin is among the most abundant biomass present on Earth. Chitinase plays an important role in the decomposition of chitin and potentially in the utilization of chitin as a renewable resource. During the previous decade, chitinases have received increased attention because of their wide range of applications. Chito-oligomers produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of chitin have been of interest in recent years due to their broad applications in medical, agricultural, and industrial applications, including antibacterial, antifungal, hypocholesterolemic, and antihypertensive activity, and as a food quality enhancer. Microorganisms, particularly bacteria, form one of the major sources of chitinase. In this article, we have reviewed some of the chitinases produced by bacterial systems that have gained worldwide research interest for their diverse properties and potential industrial uses.

细菌几丁质酶：性质和潜力。

几丁质是地球上最丰富的生物质之一。几丁质酶在几丁质的分解以及潜在地在几丁质作为可再生资源的利用中起重要作用。在过去的十年中，几丁质酶由于其广泛的应用而受到越来越多的关注。由于几丁质的酶水解产生的壳寡聚物在医学，农业和工业应用中的广泛应用，包括抗菌，抗真菌，降胆固醇和降压活性，以及​​作为食品质量增强剂，近年来受到关注。微生物，特别是细菌，是几丁质酶的主要来源之一。在这篇文章中，
