The microbial ecology, in the past, used traditional methodologies as biomass determination, microscopy and culture methods to study natural microbial populations. However, when applied to prokaryotic organisms all these techniques suffering limitations and 90 to 99% of microbial cells present in environmental samples are not cultivated. After the availability of new molecular methods, th…

Chitinolytic bacteria are autochthonous and extremely important in the marine ecosystem. They have key role in nutrient cycling through the chitin degradation in the water column. The hydrolysis of chitin is performed by enzymes called chitinases, which have many functions in nature. Different bacterial chitinases, such as endochitinases, chitobiosidases and N-acetyl-glucosaminidases have…
